Safety control of Data center of the service provider from the fire of the Fang telecommunication room

As of 26th, the affected companies as many as hundreds, including Taiwan McDonald's, GROUPON, Google Taiwan, Yahoo! 's, Taiwan's high-speed rail, China Airlines, such as super large enterprises, Taiwan McDonald's whole Taiwan outbound dedicated line so lockout, Groupon Web page lockout users can not land, seriously damaged, but the specific amount for the external disclosure.
Although the engine room fire occurred in Taiwan, but the same should be caused by the mainland computer room/data center operators attach great importance to the single room accident affects not only the room operators, but also because of the butterfly effect caused by a series of follow-up effects, resulting in immeasurable economic losses.
Generally speaking, the central room hardware equipment mainly by UPS power supply, air-conditioning and humidifier, lightning protection, firewalls, servers, disk arrays and other equipment, and room safety management, including equipment safety management, data security and backup two large chunks.
In terms of equipment safety management, non-human factors control, including temperature and humidity control, lightning prevention, electrostatic prevention, such as water rodent pest prevention, such as computer room temperature should be kept in 20℃±2℃, humidity should be kept at 50%, in order to avoid excessive temperature inside the equipment and reduce the service life and even burning hidden dangers Human controllable, including fire control system control, power supply safety control, hardware and software protection control, etc., for example, some service chambers install a variety of hardware protection facilities to ensure the normal operation of hardware equipment and network system, at the same time in technical personnel and security software to ensure the computer room software Environment stable operation, etc. But the fire event in the engine room is largely attributed to the lack of the control mechanism.
If the equipment safety management is to avoid security incidents in the room, then the data security and backup is to reduce the local security incidents after the loss of users. We are always talking about "the arrival of the big Data age," which is the important embodiment of data in the Internet, in order to protect the user data security, backup is a good technology, after the accident, can restore the user's data, as far as possible to reduce user losses. Now more common like full backup, incremental backup and differential backup, and so on, can effectively solve the user's need to avoid loss.
The author's view has also been recognized by the industry, the Chinese data CTO Zhang Hong's view of the author's view: "All said hard disk price, the data is priceless, especially for the above mentioned the impact of some large enterprises, the server data has no doubt the importance." Now we have some technical means, such as disk array, to a large extent to ensure that the data is not lost, but once encountered a similar fire in the engine room, only to highlight the importance of off-site backup. So here to friendship to remind you site managers to regularly do a good job of data off-site backup, to prevent such incidents occur. Up to now, we have China's data in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Zhenjiang and other ten rooms, to provide users with a comprehensive cloud host, VPS host and server rental hosting services, with hundreds of thousands of users of the vital interests, therefore, Computer room safety management is a vital part of our protection of the interests of users, we have a very strict system, such as external personnel to and from the room, must be booked in advance and accept strict security checks. Again such as our room cleanliness must conform to the standard ashrae52-76, granularity 0.5m, number of 10000/DM. ”
We often say "security is not trivial, prevention is heavier than Mount Tai", this sentence to the IDC industry is the truth, do a good job in the computer room safety management and prevention and control work is the greatest feedback to users. Is the fire event in the engine room, although the loss of serious, but not terrible, this is our safety management and prevention and control work sounded a wake-up call, after the death of the sheep can be mended, good Great Yan, Lee Great How, work great.
