Cloud computing will eventually eliminate it architecture differences

March 24, 2010, the spring tour of the green Data Center and cloud Computing Conference hosted by CCW Information is officially opened at the Fuchengmen Ambassador Hotel in Beijing. Numerous presentations were made by technical officers from companies such as Cisco, Avocent, Accenture and Kingston, and by analysts who focused on the data centers of the cloud computing era. Small series will be a summary of the essence of the speech, for many readers to make a reference to friends.

How to build efficient green data center in cloud computing era

Mr. Wang Jique, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the internet giant Company Cisco, has repeatedly stressed that a new generation of data centers should consider the prospects for green energy efficiency and efficient integration from many angles. In the process, he said the key to green energy conservation depends on the intelligent monitoring of the data center and the precise design of each data center module.

Includes the entire data center layout, layer height, water-cooled layout and aerodynamics, and even small to every cabinet of water-cooled monitoring location settings and, for example, Network load in the transmission of power consumption. Even saving 0.1% of a percentage point in the process would bring huge energy savings, Wang Jique said.

Wang Jique that improving data center efficiency from the perspective of virtualization integration is the current trend, while a larger number of companies have started building their own private cloud-the future data centers will evolve into the ultimate model of interconnected clouds.

On the other hand, Mr. Wang Jique that the construction and layout of data centers could be flexibly considered. Cisco's unified computing is to unify all the computing resources in the data center and then integrate all the network modules together, which is tantamount to consolidating an internal private cloud. There are similar container-type data centers, which can be deployed near the power plant, thus saving a lot of electricity (reducing electricity loss in transmission, lower electricity prices).

Wang Jique believes that the most important data center in the future is to provide a cloud computing center that rents services on demand. Cheap, effective, reliable, energy saving and environmental protection are the most important key words in the future data center. Mr. Wang Jique concludes.

Consolidating the foundation of cloud computing--talking about the infrastructure management of data center

Now there is a new concept of physical device management (prm,physical Resource Managment), which is to manage the traditional infrastructure level. Mr Tishoven says the piece is already very clear in some companies ' operations-for example, a bank's data center has a facility and operations team dedicated to managing the infrastructure. But the traditional sense of operation and maintenance personnel management is more business, software and platform deployment and so on.

Mr Tishoven said that, in view of the cloud computing philosophy currently known to customers, the IT operation team would also have a virtual device management team to carry out the large-scale virtual machines. This presents a serious challenge to traditional management software and overall encapsulation.

Mr. Tishoven then introduced Avocent's newest cloud management platform--amie (avocent MergePoint infrastructure Explorer) software. It is understood that the Amie platform provides a unique capacity planning view that enables enterprise users to achieve higher return on investment (ROI) and lower total cost of ownership. By consolidating resource management (heating, cooling, power, and space) and asset management, Amie can centrally provide a unified view of resources in a single product. Not only that, Amie can also provide the most detailed data center health and asset views in the industry, while providing enterprises with a variety of ways to design and run more efficient data centers.

Cloud-chip 帷幄--building enterprise Agile IT Infrastructure

When it comes to cloud computing, it is usually the cost of enterprise IT operation and the efficient utilization of original resources. This is determined by their long-standing economic model of enterprise development and capital accumulation. Mr. Xiaodong strategically, the first emphasis on domestic and foreign cloud computing environment, domestic enterprises have experienced the 70 generation heavy capacity, 80 's heavy product diversity, 90 generation heavy market, 21st century began to focus on personalization, customization. This has led to our unique development of cloud computing, many of our data centers are in the planning and construction phase, while the old business is running in the older data centers, there are many problems such as migration.

According to Accenture's global research, the biggest difference between foreign and domestic companies is that their IT systems need to consider operations because of their business stability. And the domestic IT system needs to consider the rapid economic development brought about by the business growth, CIOs are generally anxious how to control costs while building a rapid expansion and response to business fluctuations in the IT data center.

Many people have misunderstood cloud computing as the idea of cost savings for small and medium-sized enterprises. Indeed, many of Accenture's customers want their IT platforms to be more flexible because their business models are more complex than SMEs. So cloud computing is a wide range of technologies for all scale enterprises. If cloud computing is at the top of everything, says Mr Xiaodong, the difference in it architecture between small and medium-sized enterprises and large businesses will also be eliminated, and flexible and on-demand data centers will become industry standards.
