Intel Chang dynamically grasp the ever-changing cloud computing

The term cloud computing, can be said to be one of the most popular in the IT industry in recent years. Large to international well-known enterprise groups, small to consumer individuals, are concerned about cloud computing. It is not only an important development trend of the industry, but also closely related to the daily life of the general public. But are people aware of the changes in cloud computing? Next, let's listen to the Intel (China) Limited server platform Product Manager Mr. Chang, give us a detailed description:

Why use cloud computing?

Before introducing the question of why cloud computing is taking place, Chang first explained the huge changes facing today's data centers. On the one hand, because of the continuous development of business and the user to fast, the requirement of high efficiency data processing puts forward higher requirements for the design, construction and operation of the datacenter. On the other hand, in the context of the current international social and economic situation is still relatively grim, it expenditure not only has not been greatly improved, on the contrary, there has been a reduction in some degree. These two trends are bound to bring multiple challenges to the data center, which has led to the gradual development of data centers from decentralized to virtualized and cloud computing.

After introducing the basics of the data center, let's take a look at cloud computing. Cloud computing can solve the problem that data center faces high cost, low resource utilization, and can not fully meet the demand of dynamic application. Cloud Data center technology standardization, ability to service, provide rapid, resource elasticity, management automation and some other characteristics, can provide better protection for our data center.

New changes in cloud computing

Mr. Chang told ZOL reporters that the biggest problem facing the data center is not computing but storage and networking. After decades of rapid development, today's computing performance has been very good, in this case, the entire data center and its system operating efficiency, more depends on the storage system and network system deployment and design.

In the future, both internal and external users will need to connect through the network, to match the most suitable equipment and technology for different applications to provide support, but also to achieve flexible support through virtualization. Then, all the computing modules are connected with the near-end storage and the remote Storage through the network.

Intel, the world's largest manufacturer of semiconductors and chips, is aware of this new change and has renamed its data center group as DCSG, helping users streamline data centers and deliver more effective, more efficient, and More ideal solution. Intel's leading computing technology, as well as security and virtualization technologies, can adapt to the actual application and dynamic requirements of the new situation in the future.

Basic virtualization technology for cloud computing

Virtualization is the foundation of cloud computing, and if cloud computing is likened to a car, virtualization is the wheel, and four of wheels include storage virtualization, network virtualization, computational virtualization, and desktop virtualization. From the chipset, Intel offers Vt-x, vt-d, vt-c to provide users with more efficient business tools, from computing, storage, and network to different levels.

In terms of cloud computing storage architecture, Mr Chang his point. In his view, the calculation of the data requirements are divided into two ways: one is the way of the file, one is block. At the block storage level, Intel is committed to the refinement and development of SAN storage, as well as the leading position in the SSD storage area. In the area of file storage, Intel pushes the scale-out architecture, combined with its own hardware, to provide more efficient databases and better scalability for a large number of file accesses.

He also cites a statistic that close to 70% of the vendors and devices in the entire storage solution are using Intel's processors. Storage solutions based on Intel's processor platform to meet the needs of users for energy saving, efficient, stable and reliable. Combined with scale-out storage, you can provide a more efficient, secure, and economical storage solution for your business.

In addition, the Intel developed Gigabit NIC, which combines Intel's various virtualization technologies, helps to achieve a more efficient, secure, and simplified way of ensuring the resilience of the entire cloud. And cloud computing itself is not isolated, not only client awareness and application needs to be open, automation and interoperability between devices also need to be open. It can be foreseen that the future of cloud computing is bound to be based on unified management norms, unified management interface of the cloud. As the world's largest chipmaker, with the strategic height of future development, actively develop strategic cooperative relations, from software, platform, product design, etc., to create a more optimized infrastructure for cloud computing.
