--Investment Bank Upgrade Analysis report

c served in an international investment bank. The Department director, who has always been keen on new technologies, recently attended and watched IBM products at the premiere of "Open assured, China." The next morning, he was very excited to find small C, straight to the point: "The internet is so big, you want to ..." "Small C" click Stops "Startled, the Heart:" Oops, this is not the current resignation, fired new words? , immediately pretending to calm the answer: "Boss, we have branches around the world, our bank is my world!" "Director face Board:" Put your PMPMP (Kiss your butt) rhythm! I mean, the Internet is so big, do you want to upgrade our existing IBM servers and deploy some services to the cloud through cloud computing? Why don't you write me a report and I'll apply for the project. "At this time the small C is already a cold sweat."

In fact, he first "answer" in the heart is refused, was afraid to write documents, he is most willing to trouble, write what report. But then I thought, just take this opportunity to alleviate their daily operating pressure, why not? Small C through in their own financial IT Group posted questions, online search, consulting equipment integration supplier, even to the next door company Lao Wang, so there is the following upgrade requirements Analysis report.

System Status

1. Hardware: Currently our Shanghai data Center is mainly used in the IBM System X Rack Server series of X86 systems, and the calculation and storage are concentrated together and have been in service for about 5 years.

2. Operating systems: Windows Server editions and IBM AIX, application development and flexibility options are limited, not to mention autonomous, due to operating system non-open source restrictions. After the prism door incident, the partners even had the idea of "go to the IoE".

3. Application services: Basic to the enterprise intranet to provide services, external only through the website unified Access.

User Requirements

With the development of information technology and information communication, social platform and intelligent terminal have brought great influence and impact to the traditional industry. From the business unit, our bank has the following emerging requirements:

2. Smart APP with the current hot-peer market, I line financial derivatives innovation constantly, urgent need to quickly launch a variety of smart terminal apps to help banks to ensure that existing customers viscosity, and open up new customers. Mobile computing generates massive amounts of data.

4. Mobile Office Our employees need to be able to use fragmentation time wherever they are, using smart terminals to handle customer requests or work. In addition, a secure information exchange platform facilitates the collaboration of the overall team.

6. Fast data retrieval and acquisition make use of the current convenient mobile internet channels and our accumulated large database, so that employees on-demand and accurate positioning and timely and customer convenience to interact.

7. Dedicated Network disk Many of today's lists require cooperation with other referral agencies, law firms, and others. This need to have a similar Baidu network disk, but than the safe and reliable data file online exchange platform, to achieve cross-company cooperation.

   it

   1. Security Issues : This is the first issue to be considered, we hold customer information, we should be responsible for the security of the information. The following ratings apply to applications and services:

   for that is only the public information published, such as company news, Introduction, inquiry information, etc., let it go public cloud channel;

   for need and customer communication, such as FTP site, network disk, let it go hybrid cloud;

   applications that are limited to internal use, such as document libraries and administrative approvals, are only allowed to be placed on private clouds.

   2. Speed problem due to outdated equipment and hardware configuration backward, employees through the intranet access system access, once in the outside through the Internet access, the speed and efficiency is greatly discounted. After planning and migrating to the cloud, the system can meet frequent and large amounts of data upload and download, even streaming media, multi-threaded triggering and invocation.

   Point-to-point analysis

   in view of the above situation, demand analysis and It considerations, now the IBM The POWER8 Architecture serves as a major alternative to the upgrade scenario, and the following point-to-point analysis of features:

   Hardware aspects

   POWER8The highlight is the use22NanoSoitechnology, inPOWER7in theEdramChip Cache technology continues to be used, the semiconductor uses15High level of integration technology, up to650Square millimeters. Adopt12nuclear processor chip, integrated on a single core12a processor. The execution unit is improved, and the chip internal transmission line isPOWER7of twice times, using8thread. And according to the application State Adaptive threading mode, can be mixed threading mode, take full advantage of the system performance.

   power8 The chip adopts dual memory controller while continuous bandwidth reaches 192-230gb/s 64kb 96MB eram< Span style= "font-family: ' The song Body '; >, level four cache with off-chip cache, up to 128MB eram

9. Flexibility  

   typically used Hadoop as the engine, a CPU core corresponding to a built-in disk, the storage is distributed to all nodes, storage node security monitoring There is a hidden danger, the use of RAID0 network bandwidth and I/O interface waste; PowerLinux separates compute from storage nodes, stores node data for ease of control, and flexibly configures storage and computing, using a soft RAID5 approach to secure two copies, saving bandwidth and interfaces. In IBM's view, PowerLinux has X86 in this area.

10. The openness aspect

    Contrast previously had to install aix operating system, Power and Linux " is inherited Power Linux open source, can effectively save costs. Supported linux version includes Debian-derived versions of Ubuntu, Linuxmint,fedora and its associated versions red Hat.

12. virtualization support aspects

    in power8 on virtualization POWER kvm, new opportunities, Micro-threading will be more granular, traditional POWER kvm Assigning the entire processor to Vm

13. Security Aspects  

    POWER8with built-in encryption engine technology, it uses hardware encryptionAme, as wellTransactionalmemorytechnology, making the entire chip energy management more efficient, each integrated core power supply has a voltage regulator module. Transactional MEMORYa lock is generated when multiple threads access the same memory, which is often said "LOCKS", whileIbmThe hardware method is used to solve the lock problem in the microcode level. Dramatically improved application performance, in our bank's big data applications,JavaThe write application appears to lock very much, so that theIbmtechnology is better suited to solving big data application performance issues. In addition,POWER8the security key encryption accelerator with the support of the coprocessor supported by the encryption function in conjunction with theFlashsystemsThe result is an infrastructure that delivers extreme performance and superior latency control, enabling our bank's cloud application environment and data to be implemented in the cloud.

15. Speed aspects

    IBM POWER System analysis speed can be faster than the latest x86 system , through a number of customer measurement results show that the analysis of the speed of the query increased more than more than more than a few hours, the running time from a few to a few seconds, Power Systems has a data throughput of twice times the x86 server.

16. Autonomous, controllable aspects

    now ibm Power technical support more thorough localization. Through the

    Overview: From the release of products to date, POWER8 has tended to be technically mature, with the new IBM Power Systems S Class(e.g. S814,S822 or S824 The server is based on POWER8 technology designed for big data , suitable for my bank to upgrade existing systems, migrate to the cloud, and explore new smart apps and remote applications.

    the director looked at the littleCAfter upgrading the demand analysis report, say:“Yes, yes, it seems .Ibmof thePOWERArchitecturereflect the“I have no man, I am weak, I am strong .”of the big brand quality. Butyou voluminous write so much, I want to give the eldest brother for approval, they are not technical control, morereturn on investment is a valueAH. Can you summarize it in a simple sentence? ”SmallCBrainwave says:“you tell them that if our current system and service compare to Michelin, its image is lovely, but a section of the total gives the person somewhat shackled feeling;Ibmof thePOWERThe architecture is‘Great White’, often can give you bear hug, let you feel true love. ”director of Hyatt,“SeeIbmso reliable, I will be relieved! ”
