Happy Enclosure Cloud data center expansion boom

The growing demand for cloud computing and Internet services is driving companies to expand or build new data centers around the world, last year http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/39173.html "> The Asia-Pacific Data Center market grew at more than 16% in 2011 years. Google and Amazon, the first American internet and it giants to deploy cloud computing, are among the highest in the cloud data center.

Google

As one of the first companies to propose cloud computing concepts, Google's Internet search service for the world is built on its global deployment of large cloud computing data centers. Last September, Google announced plans to build three new data centers in Asia, invest $300 million in Hong Kong, invest $120 million in Singapore (the first data center Google has built in south-East Asia) and invest in Taiwan from its initial $100 million trillion to $300 million. Three data centers are expected to be completed within 1-2 years, which will strongly support Google's cloud services in Asia.

Currently, Google has 6 data centers in the United States, 2 major data centers in Europe, and 4 data centers under construction, in addition to the 3 Asian data centers mentioned above, one in Chile and the first Data center in South America, Chile's data centers are as highly automated as most other Google data centers, with less than a poor number of people to run, plus logistical and security estimates totaling 20.

Internet companies like Google, data centers generally choose their own design and construction, confidentiality is the most important. But this October, Google's first public disclosure of the internal situation of Google Cloud data center.

While Google has not disclosed how many servers it has, it has shared its vision for modularity, cost-effective design, and enhanced data center delivery capabilities. 6 years ago, Google built the Atlanta data Center for 16 months, and today, through modular design, capacity can be quickly deployed, just a few months to complete the task.

Like the server, Google's data center's networking device is also self-developed. Google demonstrated its OpenFlow deployment case in April this year, and its vast internal data center network is running on a openflow network. OpenFlow is a technology that manages network hardware at the software level, a virtualization networking technology that allows users to set up their complex networks with only the software, making it easier to adjust the flow of data within the datacenter without having to involve the underlying hardware.
