Elastic cloud: 300 RMB prop up e-commerce website

It is incredible to say that it takes only 300 yuan a month to transport an e-commerce website. But in the cloud fast line elasticity computation cloud ECC (Elasticcomputingcloud) support, a user E-commerce website one months operation dimension expenditure only 300 yuan.


　　


Although the E-commerce site traffic may be small, but in the traditional way, 300 yuan in any case not enough, so the elastic cloud gives users more choices.


　　


: More Flexible Foundation


　　


industry has spread a saying: cloud computing in China has two beneficiaries, one is the Cloud Express line. The Cloud Express line was established in October 2009, is one of the earliest companies engaged in cloud computing technology research and commercial applications, with the first commercial cloud computing platform-"Cloudex flexible computing platform."


　　


in order to understand the Cloudex flexible computing platform, the reporter visited the company's website. The reporter saw that the current Cloud Express line provides two kinds of cloud computing services: computing resources self-service platform and bandwidth leasing services.


　　


through self-service platforms, users can rent computing resources, including processors, memory, and disk space, instead of buying servers. In the traditional way, users either buy their own server hosting in IDC Room, or use the web hosting service provided by IDC. Existing self-service platform services provide 9 types of computing resources, CPU core number from 1~8, hard disk capacity from 100g~1000g. Users can choose one of three kinds of billing methods: On-demand payment, monthly or package-year prepaid. On-demand payment in hours for the billing unit, which leased a CPU core, 1G memory and 100G hard disk resources, one hours only to pay 0.74 yuan. Bandwidth, 0-100g traffic charges for 0.47 Yuan/g,100g is 47 yuan.


　　


in the cloud computing mode, the user rented computing resources and bandwidth flow is very convenient, with the help of the browser can buy, cancel services, free to replace the operating system, it is easy to achieve system line expansion, which means that cloud computing as the core of the information system will be very flexible.


　　


flexibility: the need to respond to business changes




The flexibility of
information systems makes business easier to meet. A software engineer said: "In the past testing software, need to buy a server, for a long time." Finally, the acquisition of the server, the test is completed and not more useful. The use of cloud computing to achieve on-demand, not only very convenient, but also the cost can be effectively controlled. ”


　　


talks about cloud computing, Cloud Fast line founder Jianping in an interview said: "The current flexible computing cloud for corporate e-commerce sites, online demonstrations, temporary testing, Web2.0 Web sites, small and medium-sized network game sites, SNS sites, research institutes of scientific research projects, traditional Web application developers, enterprise software developers , operating system suppliers, infrastructure value-added service providers, it start-up organizations and other users. Relatively speaking, these are the services of the public cloud. For private cloud services, users also need a step-by-step process of acceptance.


　　

In comparison, private clouds have higher requirements for system reliability, availability, and security
. Because of the critical business data involved, the system is required to provide 7x24 hours of uninterrupted service while providing protection and disaster tolerance for business data. To migrate these businesses to the public cloud. From the service level, integrity to the user's confidence, there will be a gradual adaptation process.





problem: The biggest difference between cloud computing and traditional mode is dynamic resource scheduling. In cloud computing mode, computing resources are not exclusive to one application. For this reason, the reporter also verified the Cloud Express technology hotline, confirmed that even if the user purchase calculation core, but the core in the idle period can still be shared by other users. In this way, computing resources can be used to the fullest, and can effectively resist the risk of a single business application peak.


　　


Cloud computing has become a trend, it is to solve the current stage of computing resources can not be fully for the SME users, the early development of the most unpredictable is the business scale and speed. Especially in the beginning stage, often in order to cope with the peak of business, have to carry out excessive purchase, resource utilization is not high, the cost is not controlled. Cloud computing not only solves this problem, but, at the same time, using the cloud computing model, the resilient cloud can help distribute deployment. In other words, the former SME users can only choose a city room to deploy the server. However, the use of cloud computing, you can effectively solve the distributed server deployment, convenient for users in different regions to provide a better access experience.


　　


According to Jianping, in order to ensure service level, in the cloud computing system design needs to consider many factors, such as data protection, disaster recovery, and information security protection, these are not within the scope of charges, but as a high level of service is part of the operator must provide content. For users with special needs, operators should also provide support to fully meet customer needs.


　　


Cloud computing Future better


　　


, by looking at the cloud's current cloud computing, is not hard to find similar to Amazon EC2. Others have asked Jianping whether the cloud-fast line imitates Amazon. In this regard, Jianping said that he did not understand the Amazon model, the reason for the creation of the cloud fast line, mainly from the understanding of cloud computing. It is understood that before the establishment of the Cloud Express line, jianping in the century for many years of interconnection, fully aware of the existing business deficiencies. Cloud computing technology to provide dynamic resource scheduling, can be a good solution to the existing problems, insight into the business opportunities, the founder of the Cloud Fast line is also a matter of natural.


　　


Talk about cloud computing, many people are not optimistic. Industry insiders point out that in order to cope with the peak of user business, cloud computing service providers need to prepare sufficient resources. After the peak, the user no longer rented computing resources, the risk passed to the service provider. "It's like real estate's ' rent-raising ' strategy, a loan to buy a house, and a loan for money. Good idea, but it has a prerequisite, is to ensure that the rental rate. After a balanced point, it won't work. "said a professional.


　　


seems to be very representative, but it ignores the problem of exploitation. Not only computing resources, computer room resources, bandwidth resources, storage resources are so. From cloud computing to cloud storage, it's natural.


　　


jianping points out that cloud computing, after all, is a new thing and needs a gradual process of acceptance. The Cloud Express line also has a growing process. According to reporters, cloud backup, cloud storage, container-type data center (Cloud Cube), CDN acceleration and other services, are in the Cloud Express line planning and brewing.
