Cloud Data Center change: strengthening green and service functions

"Using data explosions to describe today's IT development is no longer a thing, data growth is endless." Century Interconnection (Beijing century Internet Broadband Data Center Co., Ltd., 21vianetgroup,inc. Century interconnection) Dr Li Zhijian that for enterprises, the use of user habits, geographical distribution, and even enterprise demand changes can be found in large data mining valuable reference information. The big data age pushes the concept of information value to the corporate CIO.

Each increase in the number of data flow level, requires it to have the corresponding efficient processing capacity. From the PC, the Internet to today's cloud computing, is to enhance it efficiency and the emergence of technology and solutions.

IDC predicts that in 2020, the total number of servers owned by all IT departments worldwide will be 10 times times higher (including virtual machines and physical machines), the data being managed is 50 times times higher, and IT managers are growing only 1.5 times times. The need for efficient storage and efficient extraction of large data is urging traditional data centers to transform into data centers that meet the requirements of cloud computing applications.

"Virtualization technology improves the efficiency of traditional physical machines and forms a pool of resources through cloud computing, distributed across different physical machines in resource pools." Large data mining tools play a role in the pointer, according to the content of the information needs of information storage space to form a data warehouse. This series of changes will occur in the cloud Computing data center. "Li Zhijian said.

Green energy saving becomes necessary condition

"From the equipment, the server, room, bandwidth, power, refrigeration and other hardware facilities compared to the traditional data center does not occur in the essential changes, but will be green energy for the purpose of development." Data center power consumption The future will be a core issue. ”

Ohnathang.koomey, a professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University, reports that global data centers consume 198.8 billion kwh of electricity in 2010, about a 1.1至1.5% of total annual generating capacity, which is not negligible. Power has become the largest share of data center spending, and data centers such as Google and Microsoft have begun trying to build data centers in cold areas to reduce power consumption.

"It's worth the cost of data processing, and cloud computing helps companies reduce IT costs." Dr. Li Zhijian pointed out.

Cloud computing data centers can reduce the average cost of data processing through large-scale data center integration. Large cloud computing data centers will consider the geographical environment, make full use of natural conditions to reduce energy consumption, such as local low-temperature climate, wind, tidal, solar energy and other clean energy.
