Building a new platform for Cloud computing data center in new period

Over the past more than 30 years, the advent of the internet has brought about a change that is not replicable to humans, information is faster, more transparent, more convenient to transfer between different individuals, enterprise-class applications are also showing explosive growth, it technology companies into a golden 30 years, the time to turn over to 2007 years, Two very forward-looking industry pioneer Amazon's EC2 products and google-ibmhttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13452.html "> Distributed computing Project debut, also formally presented the" Cloud Computing "concept, and until 2008, has its Chinese name" cloud computing. "

"Cloud computing" is a new service pattern characterized by service, it provides users with a new business model of high-performance, low-cost, flexible continuous computing capacity and storage services to support a variety of enterprise-class information applications, cloud computing including computing resources, power energy, interactive capabilities, resilience, load balancing and virtualization, And all of these computing resources are provided in the way of service, the greatest benefit of this new type of service is to rationally configure the computing resources in the whole network, improve the utilization rate of computing capacity, reduce costs, save energy, and realize the green and centralized of data center.

For the majority of users, cloud computing support the dynamic distribution of resources, can realize the resource on demand, can simultaneously support the multi-user spontaneous thread task, the effective control user's use situation, realizes the real according to the quantity billing, it may enable the user to concentrate on own business, but does not need for the bottom soft, the hardware resources maintenance, It also makes users ' it costs fall.

In order to realize the above cloud computing service function, the data center needs to support a variety of hardware and software infrastructure resources, support the dynamic addition, deletion and modification of the basic resources to realize the upgrade of the data center in various situations. In reality, we see the current stage of mobile, telecommunications, Unicom and other parts of the cloud computing center born. China Mobile first proposed "Big cloud" plan, China Telecom also announced its "Optical Network City" strategy, all over the city cloud computing Industry Park construction is also ambitious. What should cloud data centers look like in the age of cloud computing? Will they be simple server piling? How can they achieve the flexibility of the platform deployment period, and how to achieve real computing power virtualization?
