Create the 1th brand world Super Cloud cloud computing ice-breaking trip

Talking about the domestic X86 server market in recent years, homogenization is still an unavoidable problem. Even international giants such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Dell are not free from the requirements of the X86 industry standards, so they are slightly inadequate when it comes to features and personalization. and domestic manufacturers such a trend is more serious, it is difficult to impress people. May 2010, with the leadership of Mr. Wei Yiqun set up the world Super Cloud company, positioning in the cloud computing applications, through customized products to open the market, the homogeneity of the serious X86 added new vitality. With a flick, the Super Cloud company has been established for nearly 3 years, where is its main direction at present? How to embody personalization and differentiation? How to achieve the "China cloud computing first brand" target? With these questions, we were privileged to interview Shi, director of the world's Super Cloud Solutions Center.

Hero strategy release, cloud computing with cloud-exerting force

On March 12, the Super Cloud held a press conference and formally announced its future development strategy-the hero "heroic strategy". The so-called hero refers to the abbreviation for high-density (high-density), Low-power (energy-saving), easy Management (reorganization) and system Optimization (optimization). Perhaps in the traditional impression, the domestic server manufacturers have been focusing on the development and promotion of hardware products, although can not say that the software has no access to, but the software has been as a subsidiary of the hardware exists. However, for the hyper-cloud, you can see that in the cloud computing environment, users need not only perfect hardware, but also high flexibility, strong control of software, so the software and system solutions at the level of a lot of effort. Shi Introduction---super cloud by virtue of the overall advantages of cloud base, launched a cloud management platform, cloud security management system, and in-depth integration, forming a cloud computing high temperature machine, Yun Hui large Data Integration machine, Yun Changyun storage machine and other products. In this way, the super cloud has become the only one based on the cloud computing layer to provide software and hardware integration solutions manufacturers.

High-temperature integrated machine, the new direction of Super cloud development

In traditional sense, the data center has strict requirements for the environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Do you remember what happened to the 12306 website of the Ministry of Railways in the early 2013? The last thing the official gave was the failure of the air conditioner to cause a large area of paralysis. From this example, the data center's dependence on air-conditioning is indeed very serious, and the server normal operation needs of the temperature is very harsh, basically maintained between 20-25 degrees Celsius.

World Super Cloud Mini R9480 All-in-one Machine

But with the advent of a generation of servers, the problem of energy consumption has not been solved, forcing the data center to use more air-conditioning to achieve refrigeration, increasing the cost of many operations. The appearance of the Super Cloud high temperature machine is to see this problem, also caters to the user to expect to change the problem psychology, at the same time conforms to the country vigorously advocates the energy conservation emission reduction, the green Environmental protection opportunity, can be described as one stroke three.

At the scene of the Intel Spring IDF summit, we saw the high temperature All-in-one solution shown by the Super Cloud company. The company has been able to offer 3 sets of systems for different applications compared to the high temperature integration machines that were seen at the 2012 cloud computing conference last November. The scene we see the high temperature integrated machine model for the Mini R9480, this is a modular design of the 4U8 node server. It uses the latest generation of Intel Xeon E5-2600 series platform, single node maximum support 256GB memory capacity, while the whole machine equipped with 1620W in line with 80Plus Platinum standard power supply, can achieve 12U, 22U or 42U flexible delivery mode.

Of course, as the High-temperature integrated machine, the biggest feature is the stable operation under high temperature environment. Shi Introduction--The current super cloud full range of high-temperature integrated machine operating temperature up to 45 degrees Celsius, compared to 20-25 degrees Celsius of the traditional server is undoubtedly a huge upgrade, and can also greatly reduce the number of air-conditioning use. Combined with the actual situation in the country, the temperature of the north most of the perennial temperature is below 40 degrees Celsius, if the construction of data center in the northeast, the application of high temperature integrated machine can be fully achieved air-cooled cooling, greatly reduce power consumption. At the same time, modular server design also provides a more convenient means of maintenance, up to 42U of high-density cabinets can host more servers, but also from the cost of the current common architecture of the X86 server.

Today, the super Cloud high temperature integrated machine solution has been successfully deployed in Shaanxi Province for the Shaanxi region government cloud platform escort. At the same time, Shi also mentioned that, in addition to Shaanxi, the current hyper-cloud of high-temperature integrated machine in Inner Mongolia has also achieved commercial. Compared to Shaanxi, the Inner Mongolia region of the dimension to a higher level, can be achieved through the natural wind cooling, greatly reducing the data center of the cooling load, saving a lot of manpower, material and financial resources.

In addition to the mini R9480 we just introduced, the Super Cloud also has R9440 and R9100 two sets of systems. R9440 compared to the R9480 is mainly the reduction of the number of nodes, but the corresponding single node expansion performance has been improved; and R9100 is the first high temperature integrated machine product we introduced before, now R9100 can realize the whole cabinet delivery.

Adhere to the combination of hardware and software development, not fight unprepared war

The advent of the cloud computing era has brought new challenges to IT management in the traditional sense. In response to this development, at the beginning of the new generation of Xeon E5 servers, including Hewlett-Packard's ProLiant Gen8 and Dell's 12G series, all offer an all-new software solution, with HP based on its own iLO4 platform and Dell based on the IDRAC7 system. As a domestic cloud computing solution manufacturer, what are the innovations in cloud applications? When it comes to this, Shi that the current development of cloud computing makes users more concerned about the application level experience. Super Cloud has successfully launched the cloud computing management platform, cloud security management system, by virtue of integration advantages, super Cloud in various industries cloud, intelligent city construction is widely used.

Super Cloud software application interface

The question of cloud security, can not help but reminiscent of a few days ago, a netizen said Sheng host because the problem was deleted, this incident caused the industry's uproar, and then let people think Sheng last year's data loss and "Marcum Notepad" event. In this regard, Shi that: the current domestic cloud service providers are a mixed bag, mostly by the traditional Internet or gaming industry transformation, such as Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu and other enterprises. For large enterprises, because of strong financial resources and strong technical strength, for cloud services have a certain understanding and ability to solve, such manufacturers may provide a simple public cloud services; But for the small businesses that swarm into the industry, the lack of adequate financial support and technical precipitation is often a rush, Hope that through the cloud services as soon as possible to return funds to profit, obviously a quick buck suspicion. Therefore, for these enterprises, blindly follow the trend will inevitably lead to a lack of adequate preparation and remedial measures, once the problem is also irreparable.

Shi further said: "The Super security system provides a means of hierarchical protection management, according to the standard requirements of grade protection technology and management, we should strengthen the system construction of physical security, network security, Host security, application security and data security in five aspects, management system, safety management Organization, Personnel safety management, system construction management and system operation and maintenance management five aspects of basic management requirements of the system construction. In the end, the Hierarchical protection construction scheme of cloud computing Center can meet the requirement of level protection, and can provide three-dimensional and deep security defense system for the business system of cloud computing center, and guarantee the whole security protection ability of information system.

Compared to other server vendors, the short history of the universe is both a weakness and an advantage. Super Cloud since the inception of the direct starting in the cloud computing demand starting point, in less than 3 years time to achieve a 300 million yuan turnover gratifying results. In the future, the Super cloud will follow the "China Cloud computing first brand" road without hesitation, courageously forward.
