Cloud Computing Data Center lets it shift from technology to service

What is the hottest technology in the IT field at the moment? 10 Maybe 9 people will tell you it's cloud computing. As a kind of it resource configuration and ithttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/12878.html "> Interactive mode innovation concept, cloud computing is profoundly affecting and changing the entire it domain pattern."

There is no doubt that cloud computing has affected all aspects of the enterprise business area, which has penetrated the enterprise IT infrastructure, enterprise operations, and even the consumer class has launched a variety of cloud-based products.

And when we pull back to the early days of cloud computing, from Google and Amazon to observe the formation of cloud computing concept, we found that the first direct purpose of cloud computing is the integration of the data center infrastructure, which is the real original architecture of cloud computing, but also the real basis for all cloud computing products.

At the meeting of the China Cloud Computing data Center operations and Management Forum and the China Cloud Computing Data Center Operations Guide, held at Peking University on June 8, it once again highlighted the advantages that cloud computing cannot compare to traditional data centers brought about by data centers.

As deputy editor-in-chief of the China Cloud Computing Data Center's Operations Guide, Huawei Data Center and Cloud computing services director Chen Yangyu, in combination with Huawei's experience at home and abroad, explains the changes in the cloud computing data Center for traditional data centers.

Chen Yangyu that cloud Computing data Center for Enterprise Data Center management brings process, automation, centralization and many other management advantages.

In the past, the uncertainty of the operational processes in the data center caused it inefficiency, in the cloud Computing data Center, the enterprise's it process was solidified, the rights and responsibilities of various departments are completely clear, all business can clearly find the IT resources needed, it efficiency can be greatly improved.

Chen Yangyu said that the former CIO as a mobile phone is a 7x24-hour boot, whenever the night when the phone will be very nervous, afraid of data center problems can not be resolved in a timely manner. And in the cloud Computing data Center can use the automation of monitoring, virtual machine drift and other technologies, improve the overall usability, operational risk will be greatly reduced.

In addition, the cloud Computing data Center consolidates all the IT resources of the enterprise, which brings centralized benefits to the management of IT resources. In this environment, if the business needs any computing resources, through cloud computing, it can immediately allocate computing resources from the virtual resource pool to the responsive business environment, and the entire configuration process may take only a few hours, which greatly improves the business responsiveness to the market. In traditional data centers, this configuration process takes two weeks.

Chen Yangyu says the advent of cloud computing presents a significant opportunity for resource providers, such as IDC, to transform from simply providing resources into a service provider. But the enterprise itself will not expend the energy in the cloud information security, the maintenance and so on, its technical input cost and the management cost will reduce greatly. These service providers, which are transformed from resource providers, can also provide a variety of classes, high security levels, Low-cost customer service.

In a traditional datacenter architecture, many business and it infrastructures are tightly coupled, and when problems occur in one place, the entire system may be replaced, and if the device is special, the business recovery time will be extended accordingly. And in the Cloud Computing data Center environment, all infrastructures will be more standardized, and when a problem occurs in one place, the system will be replaced with other servers in a very short time, and the replacement of the infrastructure is relatively simple, not only improving the data center Security index, but also saving the operating costs.

Chen Yangyu also believes that another big advantage of cloud computing data centers is that it costs the cost of the IT department to begin refining. IT departments can provide a detailed list of services for each business unit, service costs, and service content will be more transparent and clear. It will no longer exist as a traditional concept of a cost center that can provide details of what the business is costing.

This will help improve the relationship between the business unit and it, while the IT department will be more aware that it will truly transform from a "technology provider" to a "service provider".

In the end, Chen Yangyu also talked about how he felt about the book, which is about to start, the China Cloud Computing Data Center's Operations Guide: "China's cloud Computing data center management is still in the midst of a growth that requires the entire industry to explore and learn from each other." Therefore, in the composition of this book we will be divided into theoretical and case studies, we hope that through the theory to give you a common framework for thinking, through the provision of cases to the data center managers have inspired, for their management of cloud computing data Center to provide a guide. ”
