Hardware refactoring is a prerequisite for merging architecture Cloud Data Center

Wave Group at the two-year "Inspur World 2014" Technology and Applications Summit, the wave of the first release of a fusion architecture strategy for the IaaS layer, "cloud computing, large data, mobile interconnection, while changing the world, but also to the data center facing new challenges." In order to adapt to the explosive growth of information processing needs, the convergence of the cloud data center will be the trend. "Software definition + hardware refactoring = Fusion architecture," said Wang Endong, executive director of Wave Group. The Fusion architecture product should first complete the hardware refactoring to truly implement the software definition. ”

It is expected that by 2016 China's data center market will exceed 100 billion yuan, accounting for One-third of the Global Data center market, China will become the world's largest data center market. Traditional data centers use servers, storage device heap and external network connectivity architecture pattern, although the use of virtualization technology for computing, storage has a certain "liquidity", but not fully virtualized I/O, resulting in different systems of IT resources are still not efficient sharing, flexible flow. This leads to the limitation of the system extensibility of the data center, the inefficiency, the waste of energy consumption, the high operation cost and the complicated security management, which is difficult to adapt to the requirement of IT infrastructure in the large data era of cloud computing.

The tide thinks, the cloud data center that moves toward the fusion architecture will have the four basic characteristics of open fusion, safe and efficient, intelligent green, smart growth, and software definition data center will be an effective way to ensure user decoupling application and infrastructure, guarantee business elasticity and reduce TCO. The core of software definition is software, but the prerequisite is to integrate the architecture of the product, so the Fusion architecture product is the prerequisite and key to realize the software definition data center. The tide will be based on this, to promote the cloud data center's fusion architecture strategy, with hardware refactoring as the core, and finally realize the real integration of software definition and hardware reconfiguration, to help users build flexible, simple, efficient and Low-cost cloud computing data Center, support users in the cloud computing, large data age business operations and growth.

Under the framework of the integrated architecture strategy, core changes from CPU, memory, I/O and other hardware resources decoupling and reconstruction, so that data center computing, storage, network, security resources, full virtualization, fully automated to become a reality, and through the software definition to achieve business awareness of the requirements of the combination of resources and configuration, To achieve the flexible expansion of the system and super large-scale continuous expansion, the real implementation of the data center like a computer running and management. To this end, the wave will be divided into three steps to promote the integration of product development: the overall characteristics of the first generation of products, in accordance with the requirements of resources, business matching, server is the computer, the software with virtualization management characteristics. The overall characteristics of the second generation of products is that, according to the requirements of business characteristics (the need for the business deployer to initiate the demand), the supply of resources, the whole cabinet is a computer. The overall feature of the third generation product is the automatic perception of the business requirements, the supply of resources, the data center like a computer, and the software can realize the real business-driven data center. This phase will achieve deep integration of hardware and software, through the hardware reconfiguration and software definition, the future Fusion Architecture Cloud Data Center will realize the complete integration and flow of computing, storage and network resources, bring the overall promotion in system efficiency, expansibility, power consumption and management, and will promote the transformation of data center from Resource drive to business Drive, The real presentation of the data center is the vision of the computer.

The fusion architecture is the cornerstone of the wave cloud strategy, which will completely break the construction thinking and application mode of the existing data center. At the same time, a streamlined architecture simplifies data center configuration, dramatically reducing operational management costs, and allows IT departments to focus on business dynamic change and schema innovation.
