Thoughts on Microsoft's "fourth generation modular data center" propaganda film

Recently, I saw a video about Microsoft's "fourth-generation modular data center" on the Internet. Click here.
After reading this article, I still think about it. I wanted to get a driver's license and then become a truck driver.

In the video, a server and related electrical equipment are installed in containers and become a unit in the data center.
This "highly modular, scalable, efficient, and timely data center can be quickly and cheaply established anywhere in the world ."
According to its statement:

The fourth-generation data center consists of multiple containers, each of which can encapsulate 25000 servers.
The packing configuration can help enterprises reduce the data center construction cycle from 24 months to 12 months.
The center itself consists of prefabricated mechanical components, safety components, and container servers. This kind of device can be
The configuration is completed within six months and can be expanded based on the demand for capacity growth.


In the video, I also saw the content of windows azure, and whether such a data center is named"
Cloud computing version.

Here are some of my thoughts on using this type of data center in cloud computing:

First, if this type of data center is used in Windows azure, Microsoft will not
The data storage time is too long, because if enterprises use this container data center, the data stored in it
The duration should not be too long. At least the company's bosses don't want the containers next month to the company to run to another
The company (competitor) has gone there, which means the data has also been taken. If the set data center is "migrated"
Then, the data in it should be cleaned up or backed up (to the enterprise) and other management operations. From Microsoft's perspective, neither

It takes a long time to store data, because the advantage of this data method is "mobile" and "game"Is its advantage,
The overall operation cost will also be adjusted based on the mobile region and number of times. When the data centerWhen migrating data elsewhere
It should be "clearance" like the relocation of goods. Of course, it will not be "sold" here, becauseYes, the data in it is not Microsoft
Is not authorized to access and process the asset. You can only perform operations within the authorization scope as required by the enterprise.

Second, when enterprises use such data centers for cloud computing security issues, such data centers should
Is a part of Microsoft cloud storage (data must be placed in the cloud ). Should enterprises keep the stored data confidential?
Level-tailored use. These are containers, and the possibility of being migrated or stolen or damaged is also high.

In addition, it is an interesting point I found in this article. My ideas are expanded as follows:

Someone asked about seven major security risks of Cloud Computing.

A: Not all applications are suitable for deployment to the cloud. Some enterprise's key business applications are
Network and problems are still deployed in the enterprise. For example, the internal account management of a bank. However, some enterprises
The service system can use cloud computing. The most typical is email and CRM. Some other websites can
It is developed based on cloud computing.

For example, if you run your own online flower shop, the daily order volume may be 200 ~ 300
Left and right. However, on holidays, such as Mother's Day, the number of orders on the day may surge by 10 times or more. This time
The number of my original servers cannot meet the current data concurrency and transaction processing requirements. To ensure normal service
In general, I have two options: one is to temporarily stop a request that exceeds the processing capability.
Another option is to purchase more hardware devices to meet the current needs. However, neither of the two options
It is what we want to see. The first option will lose my customers, and the investment in the second option may be better than those in the past few days.
The run is huge, and these devices are idle resources on weekdays.

However, cloud computing platform-based solutions can help us solve such problems, based on Windows
Zure applications have already considered the scalability requirements in the development phase. Modify Windows as the business volume changes
The Azure configuration file allows you to increase or reduce the number of required server instances at will, so as to achieve on-demand distribution.

Finally, let's make a summary, from ESB to ISB, to the current Azure Serivce Platform. Service + Software
The concept of parts should be more and more clear. Enterprises are no longer satisfied with data and applications between internal information systems,
ISB is proposed in the process integration, so it is hoped that the network services and
Information sharing. Therefore, enterprises must establish authorization rules and review mechanisms to provide Internet services to business partners.
Enterprises must also support user identity management and establish associations. For example, employees have
User identity.

ISB is more like a ubiquitous structure. ISB can be the interconnection between devices, or between devices and local services.
Interconnection can be site-to-site interconnection, ESBs and ESBs interconnection, and ISB is an ESB.
ISB is a platform that allows you to customize composite applications and business processes. ISB is also a software as a service (SaaS)

Example. For example:

 

The core ISB concept is based on the unified Resource Identifier (URI. Each application service is registered,
"Owns" A identifier similar to URI: http://isb.net/daveandteam. To facilitate publishing/subscription.
An ISB application developed by developers by connecting to URIs policies and functions (I wrote several development articles ).
ISB provides an identity and access function to control the information that can be sent to the URI and who can send the information.
Identity and access functions are an example of the URI joint policy.

Finally, let's end today's content by referencing a paragraph in Microsoft's "Internet Service Bus" document:

In general, "software as a service (SaaS)" is a myth. All meaningful SaaS solutions will eventually
Includes some hybrid structures including internal deployment (Enterprise internal deployment. An instantiation solution for some elements
Will be integrated into the bus (such as workflow), some elements will be integrated into the server connected to the bus (such
XML content management system), while some elements are installed in the internal deployment. ISB is used in almost all solutions,
SaaS is actually a combination of internal deployment and external deployment.
