Like cloud-redefining enterprise-class IaaS

Absrtact: Let it like water, electricity like no self-built, on-demand, that is, the use of the public cloud services, has been widely recognized. Especially those who do not take it as the core competitiveness, but in the day-to-day operations and business development needs strong IT support enterprises, the cloud let it like water, electricity, such as the need to build, pay on demand, that is to buy the public cloud services, has been widely recognized. In particular, those who do not take it as the core competitiveness, but in day-to-day operations and business development needs strong IT support of enterprises, the temptation of the cloud is huge. The public cloud service from the IaaS service provider allows your business to quickly acquire the IT resources it needs for your business, greatly improving your business competitiveness, and more energy and money in the core business itself, which is a near-perfect model. But for large and medium-sized enterprises, especially some industry users, the same is the "water, electricity" demand, but the standard is not the same, such as "electricity", need to be two-way power supply and backup power system; "Water", when required to meet the national level of drinking water standards.  This is only an example of the image, such as the financial, telecommunications industry users, there are 99.99 of the stringent requirements of SLA, which also has a higher demand for cloud service providers, namely, enterprise-class cloud service capabilities.


 


So what exactly is an enterprise-class cloud service?


 


high-performance Computing: The core business systems of large and medium-sized enterprises, whether in the data volume level, business complexity and transaction processing number, are far more than some ordinary users. Although with the development of cloud computing technology, x86 virtualization technology is already available to build high-performance computing environments for clusters, but many traditional enterprise core business systems are built on supercomputers that represent high-performance computing, so enterprise-class cloud services must have enterprise-class platform support and computing power. On the other hand, today, it's transportation and peacekeeping costs have increased significantly, even exceeding the cost of hardware procurement, so lower TCA is also an enterprise-class user must consider.


 


High reliability: Different industries for reliability requirements are not the same, the financial industry requires the highest, a little mistake will bring huge losses. Overall, enterprise-class customers in the choice of cloud platform, the most important is often security and reliability, although the x86 public cloud can greatly improve the reliability of the system through clustering, HA and load balancing capabilities, but for enterprise users, especially some special industry users, it is often necessary to 99.99% levels, Therefore, enterprise-level IaaS must be able to meet high RAS and SLA requirements.


 


High Security: Enterprise-level users are sensitive to core business data, and cloud computing tends to magnify enterprise users ' concerns about system security. Therefore, regardless of the physical security from the data center, as well as the application security of the cloud platform and the security of virtualization are all the concerns of enterprise users, how to be credible, physical traceability, logical isolation and physical isolation is the problem that enterprise IaaS service providers must face.


 

The
cloud, based on OpenPOWER and x86 dual architectures, provides support for enterprise-class power architectures, and power is widely recognized in the industry for its high performance, reliability, and security.  At the same time, as the cloud leverages the advantages of the Self-built data center and the experience of years of data center operation, much has been done in terms of credibility, physical traceability, logical isolation, and physical isolation, and the cloud is working with the Trusted Computing Alliance in the field of trusted computing and trusted security to create a public cloud that is truly credible and secure.
