Intel Architecture Cloud Data Center Biosphere

The next wave of data centers has fundamentally changed the way the enterprise IT infrastructure is built and run today. As more and more enterprises are building it in a more open and flexible cloud environment, the positioning of the industry as an IT solution provider for IT infrastructure construction and service will change.


in an open cloud environment, the objects of IT Solution collaboration are also changing. As the enterprise's demand for personalization in the cloud infrastructure grows stronger, the most important partners in the solution to provide cloud infrastructure and cloud services are also beginning to shift from traditional infrastructure device providers to partners who can help themselves acquire cloud building and cloud services, and "give people a fish" in the upstream and downstream of the industry chain. Relations, began in the cloud era to "teach people to fish" closer.


and x86 architecture as the implementation standard for the IT infrastructure in cloud computing, Intel's positioning and value in the entire cloud industry chain has begun to change as the primary provider of x86 architecture's underlying solution. With more close to the customer, more understanding of the actual environment and application needs of the grassroots programme business more in-depth construction of the partnership, with a more competitive portfolio and partner support strategy, Intel is creating a value-for-all link in the industrial chain, from enabling partners, joint research and development, and promotion of industry alliances. Open Cloud biosphere.


because cloud computing itself means openness.

Deep cooperation in
product level


with the continuous expansion and extension of the product line in recent years, Intel has become more and more stereoscopic and multi-dimensional for the whole cloud architecture and large data system construction of the partners. Intel Technology-based Solutions help partners better meet the needs of their users in servers and storage products that target a wide variety of application requirements.


in Nanjing, the Asian Youth Conference and the green Olympic Intelligence video Exchange platform construction project, as the contractor of the Nanjing Cloud storage company based on the Intel Architecture distributed computing and cloud storage solutions, to solve the data cloud storage and large-scale intelligent analysis of the two major challenges. Cloud-created storage for Nanjing the entire program, including computing, storage, and processing modules, is fully based on the latest cloud computing architecture, with considerable scalability and reliability. Relying on distributed processing technology based on Intel architecture, cloud-storage delivers solutions that enable the system to be reliable by migrating tasks to other servers the first time a server is down, while Intel's high temperature board technology and Intel Node Manager technology help users reduce energy consumption.


In the initial project design, the cloud storage solution designed for Nanjing Video exchange platform is a storage server based on the common Xeon architecture, because the storage system has a relatively low demand for processor computing resources, and there is a certain waste of overall performance. Using lower-power processors to improve the energy efficiency and price/performance of the entire storage system becomes an important issue to consider in the project.


in the initial stage of the project, cloud-created storage to consider the use of ARM architecture processor to replace the Xeon architecture, but in research and testing, but found that there are many difficult to solve problems. "Yang Shesong said. Cloud-creating storage engineers found that because the architecture is different, the original platform running system, as well as client applications can not directly transfer to the ARM architecture of the storage server, the need for cloud storage research and development departments to spend a lot of human resources to do applications and platform migration work, the entire platform delivery cycle is bound to be delayed.


while Intel's engineers are aware of user needs and project conditions, Cloud has recommended the latest S1200 series, the S1269 processor specifically for storage-master chip applications. Cloud-created storage with Intel experts to test the application of the new processor in the cloud storage system, he was pleasantly surprised. Using the same x86 architecture of the S1269 processor as the core of the storage system, not only in the application of no compatibility issues. Compared with the common server architecture, the power consumption, procurement costs have achieved a significant savings, but also in the performance of outstanding performances. In addition, the 64-bit architecture of the S1269 processor in the storage system, also shows the 32-bit ARM processor can not achieve the capabilities.


and in the cloud computing platform that runs video processing systems, Intel's consultants also provide a cheaper and more practical solution for cloud-hit storage. Under Intel's recommendation, cloud-created storage uses the integrated GPU's Xeon E3 architecture server to build cloud computing platforms, leveraging integrated GPU as a video transcoding tool, with improved efficiency and significantly less cost than a typical server architecture. Yang Shesong said that based on the successful deployment experience in this scenario, cloud creators will launch a product-oriented, Intel Xeon E3 architecture based cloud video All-in-one for a wider range of video processing applications.


Cloud storage also joins Intel's E3 Architecture Video Application Server development group for video processing applications. With the help of Intel's Software Development Toolkit, cloud-created storage provides not only firsthand technical information, but also better upstream and downstream resources through partnership.


In the 2013 cloud computing Conference, cloud-created storage will bring the Intel S1269 processor-based Cloud Storage solutions to market in a mature product format, pushing the Intel-driven cloud storage solution into more industries. After the release of Intel's next-generation Avaton, the cloud will also launch a new processor-based storage product in the first half of the year.


Collaborative research and development support partner capability Promotion


through a complete product line to help partners improve delivery capabilities and product width, Intel also through the joint research and development partners, the crystallization of their own and channel wisdom to the new technology in the form of delivery to the market, to help channel partners in the industry chain to create their own unique value.
