Cloud data center landing heavy to enhance user experience

In the dual drive of technology development and market demand, the tide of data center and cloud computing is showing vigorous development everywhere, from the first market in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, to the level two market, such as Tianjin, Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing and other places, they have put forward the future cloud computing plan. Including Beijing's "Xiangyun plan", Shanghai's "Sea of Clouds Plan", Shenzhen proposed "Pearl River Delta Cloud Computing Center" and Tianjin under construction "building national cloud computing industry headquarters" and so on.





Data Center Application heating




The total number of data centers in China has exceeded 500,000 in 2010, according to
research. As of March this year, 13 provinces and autonomous regions nationwide have planned 30 or so large data center construction projects of over 100,000 servers, with a total investment of 270 billion yuan. It is also predicted that 2015, the domestic cloud computing industry chain will reach 750 billion to 1 trillion yuan, in the strategic emerging industries accounted for more than 15% of the share.





to seize the development opportunities of industrial upgrading and cloud computing, domestic operators have increased the intensity of cloud data center construction. The leading operators, represented by China Telecom and Unicom, have invested heavily in cloud computing related technology research, while accelerating the pace and process of planning and constructing international standard cloud computing data center in the whole network.





at the same time, more and more private IDC (Internet Data Center) operators also began to target the cloud computing, and as a breakthrough in the homogenization of competition, to achieve profit value of the important channel.





"In terms of domestic operators, I think the biggest problem is that these years we have built more and more data centers, the scale is growing, but the efficiency and profitability ratio is not as good as before." "Jia Zi, head of cloud computing, a wholly-owned subsidiary of a telecom operator, points out that at present, there are two main ways to cloud the operators ' data centers: transformation and new construction." The transformation can be to the original data center of the old equipment to achieve cloud, or can be in the original data center, new computing, storage and network resources, to achieve cloud. In accordance with the requirements of the cloud environment, in full consideration of energy-saving, load-bearing, infrastructure, large broadband network at the same time, to achieve the regional scale of the important resource pool of the two-tier network interoperability and cloud Platform unified management of the new cloud IDC construction is another important way to cloud.





Similar to the original data center for the transformation, small scale, cost bottom, quick effect, can realize the cloud target as soon as possible, is the first choice of many large enterprises internal data room cloud way. But "if only the original data center for the transformation, it is difficult to fundamentally solve its high energy consumption, low efficiency problems." Because of the overall operational efficiency of a data center, mainly depends on the construction of the initial planning, such as the refrigeration mode is water, wind or air conditioning, if the main rely on air-conditioning, its power consumption will be very large, in addition to the site and other factors also have a relationship, so the new construction cloud IDC may be the operator's preferred way. "Jia Zi said.





In addition to the new cloud data center, there is a noteworthy technology is the container data center. In fact, many international giants, including IBM and Google, have large container-type data centers deployed in their data centers. At home, many operators have shown strong interest in this kind of deployment pattern.





because of the modular construction program, the container data center can be used in a plug-and-play way to achieve efficient and flexible deployment. The core is the integration of the data center infrastructure into the container data center through a service-oriented architecture, based on functional requirements. Compared with traditional methods, the container data center can solve the problem of long construction cycle, low energy efficiency and high operation cost, which can help enterprises to improve the utilization rate of funds, improve the use of space and equipment, and save human resources, and improve the overall redundancy and expansion capability of the data center.





Jia Zi that the cloud data center to truly achieve the landing, ultimately, the user's acceptance. Security and convenience are among the two biggest constraints. First of all, for security issues, although there is no way to achieve the technology of absolute evasion, but compared with other models, cloud computing is actually relatively safe, and there are some feasible technical support methods, followed by convenience, especially in the open billing and payment level, although most cloud architecture can achieve the automatic expansion of dynamic resources, But there are still a lot of technical bottlenecks to break through in real instant elasticity. If these two problems are not solved, the user experience will be greatly compromised.





"Overall, the cloud Data center's development prospects are very broad." We have a forecast, as long as the solution of security and convenience issues, coupled with policies, laws and regulations, and so on all levels to keep up, the future years, the cloud rental of resources will account for the IDC data center of the overall resource rental of 20%-30%. Moreover, the current data center users are mainly enterprises, in the future how to open this part of the business to individuals, its application prospects are limitless. "Jia Zi said.





Upgrading and reshaping business model





industry insiders know that the traditional IDC business can be divided into basic business and value-added services, the basic business, including host hosting, broadband rental, server rental and virtual host rental, value-added services include data backup, load balancing, remote maintenance, disaster disaster and other places. As far as the current domestic IDC market structure is concerned, the basic business is still the absolute mainstream of the data center market demand, accounting for more than 90%.





due to the excessive concentration of basic business, the domestic IDC industry homogeneous competition is increasingly fierce. The advent of the cloud computing era, while driving the entire IDC to the CDC (Cloud data Pew) Cloud datacenter, is reshaping the business architecture of traditional data centers, as well as business models.





using cloud computing, all the servers, storage, networks and other resources in IDC form a huge resource pool, which is provided to users through the network, while improving operation efficiency, it also greatly improves the scalability and flexibility of IDC. Through the cloud computing platform, IDC can deploy more business resources to the third party for in-depth development, for IDC service providers in value-added services to bring new breakthroughs.
