Lenovo Cloud Storage: Creating an excellent platform for the future of cloud storage

Lenovo Cloud Storage in the resource virtualization, data security, stability and availability of the system for many years of continuous investment, forming a own intellectual property rights of a large-scale distributed storage cluster scheme. It is many years in the cloud storage technology and solutions on the accumulation, so that Lenovo network disk can now win the trust of many enterprise customers, become a corporate cloud storage market leader.

The advantages of Lenovo Cloud

Lenovo Cloud's advantages are first reflected in its underlying architecture design, Lenovo Cloud storage to take resource virtualization and hybrid data management architecture design. This architecture is designed to achieve a range of outstanding performance, such as large scale resource storage, high availability and fault tolerance, better stability, hardware depth integration, support for distributed and centralized data management, to maximize customer demand for cloud storage architectures in different businesses.

On the other hand, in resource aggregation management and scheduling, Lenovo Cloud storage has the ability to use IO QoS technology to open different IO transmissions for different service levels in multiple tenant use, and to increase IO performance by placing thermal data on hot disks based on the use of data layering technology, which can be increased by using the frequency of data technology , the maximum savings of user storage space, improve storage efficiency.

It can be seen that Lenovo Cloud storage has a number of key technologies in traditional storage solutions that increase the utilization of storage resources and the overall IO performance of the system, providing a more viable storage solution for cloud services.

It is noteworthy that Lenovo cloud storage in the security aspects of a lot of optimization design. In addition to preconfigured numerous security resources in the solution, a stateful firewall is built into the virtualization management platform, providing distributed firewall detection for each virtual router port. In addition, in order to simplify the integration of Third-party security products and services, the open cloud security platform is built to enable enterprises to centralize the deployment of third-party firewalls, anti-malware, vulnerability management, data loss protection and intrusion detection and prevention (IPS) platforms.

Cloud security is an important bottleneck problem of cloud storage in enterprise market. Because of the enterprise scruples in the introduction of cloud storage solutions, the system will be a lot of unsafe factors, especially the frequent occurrence of personal cloud attacks occur, but also make cloud storage in the past long time in the enterprise market has been very slow development, Lenovo Cloud storage in the cloud security research and development and practice to ensure that the enterprise system has been in a safe environment, this advantage makes the enterprise removed a lot of worries.

Further, Lenovo in the protection of corporate data, to prevent information leakage on the design includes three aspects. First of all, Lenovo Cloud uses double sign-on authentication to solve the problem of user password leakage; second, Lenovo Cloud storage back-end using File Block encrypted storage mode to save user data, the timely loss of a single server will not lead to the use of data leakage; Finally, Lenovo Cloud Storage has a perfect operation and maintenance audit mechanism to ensure that internal personnel can not see user data. Through the three protection measures, enterprise data security can be fully protected.

The future of Lenovo Cloud storage solutions

There is no doubt that the cloud is the future of the data center, with the rapid development of data center and Internet of things and mobile devices, we have come to an era of information explosion, and IDC reports that the current data is growing at around 50% a year, and the global data scale will reach 44ZB by 2020. As the volume of data exploded to grow, the cloud was bound to achieve rapid growth, and Lenovo Cloud storage server clusters also exploded.

Lenovo Cloud storage As the leader in this area, many aspects of cloud storage solutions have been planning for the long term, first Lenovo Cloud storage services are working on cloud storage technology for energy-saving development to reduce system energy consumption and system costs. Of course, in terms of cost savings, Lenovo has a lot of technology, it is reported that most of Lenovo's cloud storage services are using the 3 backup mechanism to ensure the persistence of data storage, this storage mode to the cloud storage vendors brought great cost pressure. Lenovo, while providing a sound data protection through technical means to reduce the cost of duplication caused by excessive pressure.

Second is the security of the cloud, mentioned above, cloud security is a key issue in the process of cloud storage promotion, the future association will be in the user's identity authentication and access control, data storage and transmission confidentiality, data isolation issues such as in-depth research and development.

In addition to the above mentioned two trends, Lenovo cloud storage in the future will also exert the force of storage resources virtualization and aggregation management and data analysis and processing technology research and development. These technologies, based on the platform of Lenovo Cloud storage, further optimize and excavate the potential of enterprise data, making the enterprise data become a real part of the enterprise's core assets.

Summary：

We see that the Lenovo cloud storage solution, after years of accumulation, not only can help enterprise customers build a perfect cloud storage platform, make full use of the advantages of cloud storage to improve resource utilization, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and after the completion of cloud storage platform, Lenovo will further help enterprise customers mining enterprise data value, Accelerate enterprise innovation.
