Computer room consumption of cloud computing telecom cloud services gradually become the main force of "Low-carbon"

Energy-saving for industry enterprises, and even the importance of the country has been self-evident, in this year's Ministry of Industry announced the "Twelve-Five" period of industrial energy-saving emission reduction four binding indicators, unit industry added value energy consumption, carbon dioxide emissions and water consumption respectively than "Eleven-Five" at the end of 18%, 18% and 30% The comprehensive utilization rate of industrial solid waste should be increased to about 72%.

Visible, "energy-saving" has become the whole social development unstoppable theme, but also the enterprises must achieve the goal. Jingdong, Deputy chief engineer of China Telecom, said that the basic idea of China Telecom's energy saving and emission reduction is to provide low-carbon and efficient information service products, to help the whole society energy-saving emission reduction, to achieve energy saving and emission reduction, and to fully support the strategic transformation of enterprises.

At present, China Telecom is promoting the technological innovation of telecommunication infrastructure by vigorously implementing the broadband, optical and Sky cloud computing strategy, speeding up the evolution of telecom network and innovating technology. And China Mobile, also in the IDC computer room equipment collection and implementation of project management, assessment of energy efficiency and the overall contribution of a series of means. Up to now, China Mobile has formed 54 energy-saving technology innovation, in improving the efficiency of components, air-conditioning efficiency, equipment, such as the self-dormancy has achieved good results.

Cloud computing into the computer room "reducing the sharp weapon"

In the huge tide of energy-saving and consumption-reducing in the telecom industry, operators have realized that electricity consumption is the high cost of operators, and the "big power consumption" is the data center. As a result, operators have directed the "green" to the IT system and data center.

In this regard, Gartner experts believe that to solve this problem, cloud services is a can reduce the server energy consumption, and thus achieve "Low-carbon" the ideal solution.

Through cloud computing technology, operators can further improve the resources utilization of IT equipment, while avoiding the economic loss caused by idle equipment, can also reduce the energy consumption of the data center correspondingly. More importantly, the emphasis on "self service" in the cloud computing architecture frees up a lot of manual operations, dramatically reducing the cost of people and management, and thus saving more resources.

Huang, dean of China Mobile Research Institute, also said that the data center energy saving includes many parts, each part of the comprehensive performance can only work to finally optimize the data center structure, in which the efficiency of the server should be maintained at more than 80%. If the server is less than 80% efficient, strictly speaking, shutting down the server and migrating the application to other servers means that many of the application software systems and service systems need to be revamped again, which in a sense is a huge challenge for cloud computing in the future.

"Low-carbon operation" is on the high day

Operators use cloud computing motivation, not only to help their IDC room to achieve "green", but also hope that the use of cloud services to promote the whole society's "Low-carbon operation." This effect has already appeared in many countries abroad.

Huang For example, in the United States, both the Government and the private sector are actively doing cloud computing industry. At present, the United States Internet Innovation Enterprise Servers are in the form of leasing, the federal government requires each large agencies such as the IRS, the Social Security Bureau must be at least 2 applications per year to the cloud services, these two applications do not include e-mail, internal blog applications such as, but two real applications. To this end, several major U.S. telecom operators have also set up a dedicated sector of cloud computing.

Gartner experts also believe that after the adoption of public cloud services, enterprises need only according to their own it needs, cloud service providers require the corresponding enterprise services, do not have to purchase a variety of computer equipment, more importantly, no need to set up and manage the server in the data center, thus saving the backup power, Electricity and so on are not a small amount of money.

It is not difficult to see, domestic telecommunications operators have a higher degree of the IDC Foundation, such as a large number of the use of virtualization technology, high-performance servers, as well as large storage hardware, at the same time all over the country's computer room nodes and tens of thousands of server size has been at the same time to provide "cloud
Thus, with the increasing acceptance of cloud services in China, operators, as important IDC service providers, will occupy the major market share in the market of enterprises and enterprises. This kind of cloud service method will also effectively alleviate the current situation of enterprises and the government IDC resources, in order to create additional profits for the telecom operators, but also for the vast number of enterprise customers to save huge IT equipment expenditure.

Thin terminals reduce redundant equipment

Cloud Desktop is also the operator is exploring the Green Road. At present, Shanghai Unicom in the business hall and call center deployed Cloud desktop system, not only in the working hours to meet the office needs, while the use of the night system resources Idle features, Shanghai Unicom will also be computing capacity leasing to advertising companies to do 3D rendering, so that the value of the system to play to maximize.

According to Liu surname Personage of Shanghai Institute of Telecommunications, the use of cloud desktop dedicated thin terminal access to get rid of the heavy chassis and fan sound, reduce the calorific value of each user's power consumption is less than 25W, so much reduced energy consumption, the year can save nearly 70% of the electricity bill.

"Cloud desktop can not only meet the specific needs of the scene needs, such as Business Hall, call center, etc., but also for small and medium-sized Enterprises, home users, hotels and airports, such as public services, the target user scope covers a very wide range." China Telecom has already taken Cloud desktop as a key cloud business and is expected to market next year to help more corporate customers reduce their IT cost burden.
