The 2nd Annual "2012 China Data Center Industry Development Conference" was held in Beijing on the 20,112-month 17th, in the afternoon of cloud computing and flexible and efficient http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13695.html "> At the IT infrastructure sub-forum, Cloud Cube sales and marketing director Huang just made a keynote speech on "cloud competition in the container data center," Huang said the focus of the information industry's competition shifted to cloud-tube-side competition. The cloud is the data center, the pipeline is the broadband network, the terminal is Apple to do the terminal company, Apple just do terminal success, from Apple changes we can draw a conclusion, the cloud of competition is the data center competition.

Cloud Cube sales and marketing director Huang just

Huang: Good afternoon, I am honored to be here today to share with you some of our knowledge of the container data center, as well as the experience we have gained in the industry.

Before we get to the container data center, we'll talk about cloud computing from a very close user level. The core of cloud computing is to obtain information like the convenience of water and electricity, anytime, anywhere use, portable equipment to obtain information services. For institutions, enterprises, Government, education users, in order to use information services, do not need to build a data center like before, do not need to buy their own servers, as the development of electricity, we do not need each unit with a generator, the use of a public facilities is better.

Cloud Computing brings an information industry competition pattern, we also see, the Information industry hardware competition, its competition focus to the cloud tube end competition. The cloud is the data center, the pipeline is the broadband network, the terminal is Apple to do the terminal company, Apple just do terminal success, from Apple changes we can draw a conclusion, the cloud of competition is the data center competition.

When Apple released its first iphone in 2007, his data center was only 107,000 square meters, and by the end of 2011 there were more than 130 million iphones worldwide. From the size of the Apple backend data center, the core of Apple's success, we can see, is not just that he does it well, but that he supports it through a huge data center in the back of the data center, providing a lot of work for the front end of the iphone, including in English. Also do a world-wide manufacturers do MP3, but also because it has a data center, to provide users with high-quality music downloads.

As we can see from here, the competition in the cloud era is the competition of the data center. At the same time, we also see that in the cloud era due to changes in market demand for our data centers also put forward some new requirements. For example, the market develops very fast, the competition is very intense, needs our manufacturer to deploy quickly, satisfies the market demand as soon as possible. After a cloud service is raised, the user scale is very fast when users are welcome.

Cloud services like all Internet services, most cloud services are free of cloud services, which requires a low cost of building and operating the back-end data center.

We all know that the future of the largest volume of data applications, the first is the video, the second is the game, the two cloud applications, the user experience is very critical, the user experience to a large extent depends on the number of service access, if the nearest to the user to provide, his experience is relatively much better.

This requires the provision of video services and network gaming services of the large flow of data centers, can be flexible to allow users to use.

From today's cloud ERA data center facing these changes we see that the traditional data center construction of the operation of the model, it is difficult to meet the cloud era of the complex requirements of IDC, so the container-type data center emerged. We put some of the infrastructure in the data center, or part of it in a container, and we can turn a container into a module that can be used to organize a data center, which operates independently of a single, integrated container that can be part of a large data center, Make up a module in the data center to run.

Because the container data center has a lot of advantages, for example, we think it is the most prominent three advantages, first, it is the data center from the scene of the loading process, into the factory production line of prefabricated prefabrication process, to achieve rapid deployment of data center.

Container space is more compact, in the middle of the container put a rack, it is easy to form the data center of the channel separation, plus the container is easier to deploy to some of the cold, its second feature is energy saving and environmental protection, green low carbon, using data center to reduce operational dimension of power consumption, so that the cost of operation and maintenance greatly reduced.

The container has a kind of modularization characteristic, makes the container to make the data center, it is easy to realize the building block type expansion. The construction of our data center can be started from small investment, according to the business and the size of the user to increase our capacity to expand the data center. This is the advantage of using containers for data center modules.

So today at home and abroad, we see a number of cases where containers are being built into modular data centers around the world. Later I give you a few more typical domestic and foreign, more well-known cases, let you understand the container-type data center development phase.

First of all we see is the most well-known Microsoft in Chicago to build Microsoft's largest data center, is 700,000 square meters of buildings, the first floor is a container data center, can put 112, each box can be loaded with 2000 servers, this is a Microsoft Container data center inside the picture. This is also the world's largest data center in the process of operation.

The second case is Google, where he bought a piece of land to build a data center base at the river bank of Dallas, and two blue roofs were his engine rooms, which used containers to build his data center, which deployed 45 containers, each containing 1160 servers. We look at Google's server is very characteristic, it is directly put the battery to the motherboard, and the server does not have a shell, it is not required to use electricity, directly with the server board on the battery can be. So its server is thicker, in a container in the number of installed less.

Just now we saw the case of two big cloud giants using containers to build their own data centers. We follow the market, after the domestic and foreign market users need an understanding, we also see that today in the IDC industry, but also the use of Container data center is the most active industry. This case is the United States (English), an IDC company, in New Jersey he bought the New York Times's printing plant, he bought the printing plant, in his own container to build an on-demand IDC, he can build the first sell, when the user's order, 1.5 months can be the user needs of the data center to build up, that is, using a container data center of a form, to achieve on-demand supply, on-demand construction benefits.

Operating last March, their CEO said in August that they had produced more than 120 containers and placed them in the building in order to satisfy their customers ' orders.

The second case of IDC business operation is our century interconnection, the container data center that operated in December 09, this is also our company manufacture container module.

The next is Hubei Unicom, they used in 10 pilot operation, in the energy-saving aspects of a very large gain, energy-saving reached more than 35%. If you expand a little more, the effect of energy saving will be better.

A financial outsourcing company in Denmark used 21 containers and built containers on two sites. This is for financial services.

This is a leasing service used by NASA to provide virtual machines in containers, and scientists can use it directly, which is the case of some of the pictures it deploys, deployed to the bottom of a satellite antenna.

These are the University of California, which built two container data centers in 08 for High-performance computing. There is also a lot of flexibility in the use of containers to circumvent the constraints of the environment, to take advantage of the advantages of the environment, such as in the bustling London business district to build a use of data centers. They can use containers to enlarge the company's capabilities.

In Afghanistan, in Iraq's Bulletproof container data center, these cases are a few of the disadvantages of using containers to circumvent the environment.

Norway is deploying a data center outside the container in order to achieve the goal of saving electricity by making use of the cold northern air for natural wind refrigeration.

The Cloud Cube's technical team began in 02 to track and study the development of a technology in the container Data center, and in 03 the patent for the container data center was approved by the national patent. The company's production line was established last year, the same year passed the ISO90001:2008 international quality certification. This is our Cloud Cube Manufacturing Center, our research and development Center and Marketing center located in Beijing. This is the building of the Cloud cube in which we are planning to be completed by the end of this year, after the completion of the production capacity of 300 units, but also in the overseas market.

Cloud Cube today's container data center products are very rich, very comprehensive, in addition to all the racks inside the box, there are integration boxes, that is, the generators, batteries all in the box, their own power generation can use the integration box, which contains the generator, racks and air-conditioning integrated box, this is a box of it rack box, This is the container site put three chillers, refrigeration equipment can be made into containers, this is the Power box.

Model-rich products to ensure that the data center in the construction of any occasion, can take advantage of the container data center.

Century interconnection in the data center put in last December, a period of only two containers, a power supply power box, an IT box, the expansion of the completion of the Container data center area now has 4 containers, this is a phase two, this is the two expansion of two units, which is currently put into operation of the largest case.

The second case is the new computer room of the century interconnection in the village it uses the support of the Cloud cube, IDC Room quickly put into operation of a system, two battery box, two UPC boxes, supporting 190 cabinets, so that the overall data center before the completion of six months before the launch of the sales, you can get income in advance. This is the second case.

The third case is the intelligent technology company in Foshan, a standard plant in the first floor, the use of a UPC power box, in a technology park quickly built a cloud computing data Center for enterprises to provide data center services. This is a case of outdoor facilities.

In addition to the model-rich products, the cloud cube is also targeted at the Container data center project and the needs of users to provide comprehensive services, including user-oriented needs to do customized products, changes in the standard products.

Cloud Cube in the construction of a container data center, some of the advantages, we are (English), but also has accumulated, and is experienced, we have 10 years to build IDC data Center Some experience, we began in 02 to track the 09 in the domestic container of the first case, This is the cloud cube in the container data center in this area we formed some advantages. Also hope that in the days to come, and everyone, with our users work together, the use of Container data center in the cloud era, to help us grow together, common development, mutual win-call mutual benefit. Thank you very much.
