Developing storage industry should take industry cloud as the cut-in point

Now when it comes to clouds, the first thing people think about is the private cloud and the public cloud. Due to the security, maturity and other aspects of the problem, the public cloud of large-scale popularization of more than a few years. At present, the company can bring direct economic benefits to the private cloud, especially the user from the existing Data Center architecture transition to the private cloud architecture process, the business opportunities.


　　


this September, the wave also proposed its own cloud computing In-cloud strategy, but the point of entry is different. Recently, the reporter interviewed the wave group storage products General Manager Haitao. Zhang pointed out that the wave of industry clouds are in fact also belong to the category of public cloud, but the difference is that the wave industry cloud is not for ordinary consumers, but with specific needs of the industry users. Therefore, to expand the storage industry also need to take the industry cloud as the entry point.


　　


Service Quality is a ruler


　　


"When most people talk about cloud computing, focus on infrastructure. In fact, the key to cloud computing is security levels and quality of service. A whole host of inexpensive hardware plus virtualization is a model of the cloud infrastructure. Google, for example, uses the same infrastructure for cloud-search services provided by individual users, as individual users are less demanding on search accuracy and latency. But the government, the enterprise and so on security and the service quality has the high demand user's cloud computing architecture is completely another pattern, this is the wave industry cloud proposed premise. "In the interview, the Wave group storage products General Manager Haitao said," What kind of architecture, the key to look at the quality of service, service scope, response speed and other requirements. The first thing to think about is how to provide better support for users ' application needs, and what hardware devices to use are the problems to be considered later. The nature of the cloud is a service in which service deliverables and security are paramount. From this perspective, China Mobile and ICBC are running a huge cloud business. ”


　　


The rise of cloud computing poses two big challenges: one of the challenges, how the data from the front and back of the cloud platform is securely docked; Traditional storage devices have limited memory and access performance due to architectural constraints. Many virtualization technologies are also designed for this limited storage architecture, so there is no solution to the problem of capacity and performance on demand, much less support for cloud computing. "In the existing cloud computing environment, terminal devices are strong enough, such as all kinds of smartphones." At present, the biggest obstacle to cloud computing is that the backend platform is not strong enough. Traditional storage devices may be able to support dozens of or even hundreds of users at the same time, but the scale of cloud computing is tens of thousands of users or more, in this case, traditional storage devices will certainly crash. The wave to do is to adopt some innovative technology to ensure the security, availability and performance of the cloud platform. "Haitao said.

wave of cloud computing strategy to the storage level, into the Daas (Dataasaservice), that is, the user Information system architecture from the computing, transmission, storage-separated platform model to the data applications (including computing, storage, invocation, use, security, disaster-tolerant, etc.) management as the core of the service model.


　　


Zhang always pointed out: development to the current Daas stage, as the user's information level gradually improve, it equipment presents a variety of trends, equipment to achieve integration and optimization, utilization rate has been greatly improved. In the future, to the Kaas (knowledgeasaservice) phase, the amount of data, it equipment will be centralized, intelligent and humane. In line with this trend, the tide has introduced the first storage product AS8000 that meets the requirements of Daas. In the August 2005, the wave released the "active storage" strategy, while launching the first five-year plan for wave storage development. In the September 2010, the launch of the Wave cloud storage product AS8000 marked the launch of the wave store in the era of cloud computing. The active storage phase is the initial stage of the development of wave storage, and the product is characterized by: adopting modular design, realizing the integration of multi interface and product scheme, and customizing the development for users. The second phase from now is the intermediate stage of wave storage development. At this stage, the resources achieve a high degree of integration, storage systems with high reliability and scalability capabilities, and green energy-saving. From traditional storage to Daas, the focus of the wave shifts from device flexibility to providing data storage solutions that are close to customer needs.


　　


Haitao revealed: "The original AS8000 is for a certain industry users customized products, the purpose is to solve the user's local disaster-tolerance problem, rather than positioning in the general cloud storage products." As the project progresses, customers are demanding more, which today looks similar to the needs of cloud computing. ”


　　


from active storage to cloud storage, the development of wave storage has undergone a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. "Cloud computing provides an opportunity for the development of wave storage. In the past, we had to follow the international storage vendors. Now the rise of cloud computing has made it possible for the tide to stand on the same footing as the international storage vendors. Wave In-cloud strategy, the release of storage Daas strategy, is a wave of cloud computing development considerations, AS8000 release, is the tide over the past two years in the vast number of data applications, storage technology accumulated in the field of the results "
