Love number straight hit cloud with big data: Who says cloud computing is hard to fall

The increasing amount of data brings many business opportunities to enterprises, therefore, the industry believes that in the future, data information will become the most important assets of enterprises. But the explosive growth of data has also brought difficulties to the storage management of enterprise data information, and most people think cloud computing is an important means and tool to reduce enterprise IT cost and improve enterprise response speed. So how does an enterprise migrate to the cloud? A few days ago, "who said cloud computing difficult to land" as the theme of Love Number cloud computing conference for the Enterprise to the cloud of the transition to provide advice, and at the meeting showed the industry's first weighing 850 kg Tx3 cloud cabinet.

Love is a backup disaster for the core business of the domestic backup solution provider, but also the industry's first proposed "Backup storage integration" of domestic manufacturers. It introduced the backup storage integration slogan in 08, and in 09 released the first love number Tx3 V1 cloud cabinet, in 2010, on the basis of backup storage integration, love number of "upgrade" put forward "backup disaster storage Integration" slogan, hope to reduce the enterprise's IT investment and operation and maintenance management become; And in 2011 released the Anyshare 3.0 management software and backup disaster storage integration V3, and in today's Love number cloud computing conference unveiled the industry's first weighing 850 kg, single cabinet capacity up to 432TB and support the horizontal expansion of Tx3 V3 backup disaster storage integrated cloud cabinet products.

Love the number of large data, including unstructured data, has brought great difficulties to the enterprise, its main focus on three aspects: how to solve the PB-level data storage, backup and disaster tolerance, and the second is how to solve the document management, sharing problems; The final challenge is how to improve the data processing performance of large scale datacenter services. Love number President He Hongfu believes that enterprises to solve the above problems, its IT infrastructure must have on demand services and delivery capabilities, high scalability and resource sharing characteristics, and this is the characteristics of cloud computing, so the enterprise to the cloud migration is imperative.

IDC has predicted that from 2010 to 2015, the volume of data will grow at a rate of 650%, what are the problems of such a growth rate? He Hongfu that massive data would first put a huge strain on storage, but that the challenges of backup disaster would be much more than storage. For example, Love is a total of 308 employees, love a number of companies in the amount of data about 200TB, not long ago, love and a one-time purchase of 20TB capacity, the cost of storage costs about 50,000 yuan, while the cost of backup and disaster recovery in more than 1.5 million, equivalent to storage costs more than 30 times times. And, as the volume of enterprise data increases, the cost of backup disaster is not increasing linearly, but increasing exponentially.

With the increasing amount of data and the pressure of enterprise backup disaster cost, it's not hard to understand why there are a lot of companies using tape for backup and archiving, and the current situation is not encouraging in terms of backup disaster management, according to the Acronis report on the global Disaster Recovery confidence index Shows that SMEs in the Asia-Pacific region (including China) typically use 5 or more data backup disaster recovery solutions, and according to the general introduction, the situation of Chinese enterprises is more serious, incredibly many enterprises have adopted 10 of the backup disaster-tolerant solution, which the management complexity and difficulty is self-evident.

Although Chinese enterprises are becoming more and more urgent for backup disaster recovery, there is still no suitable integrated solution for backup disaster storage. He always thinks that despite the current hot cloud computing, Hadoop, MapReduce, Scale-out storage, and open stack are all about distributed computing or data analysis and processing, not specifically designed for backup disaster, Although everyone is talking about the importance of backup disaster, but the degree of attention of enterprises is still far from enough, more importantly, enterprises do not know how to solve this problem.

While many storage vendors are currently addressing the need for backup and disaster management, has launched a backup disaster recovery solution, but he insists that this is not their main business, with a storage giant as an example, and its latest earnings show that 70% of its revenue comes from the primary storage business, not too much to do with backup disaster, To achieve business growth, it is almost impossible to spend a lot of energy on backup disaster and other non main business. And the current backup software market share of the largest manufacturer, for example, it has long announced that only the independent software, do not care about integration concept. Therefore, it is for this reason, love number to backup disaster storage integration as a strategic slogan, practice has proved that this strategy is in line with China's market demand, so love companies from the original 30 people to the current 308 people.

Love number will unswervingly carry out the backup disaster storage integration strategy to the end, said He Hongfu, the president of the company. At the same time, to help users migrate to the cloud, Love will work with NetApp and Dell to solve real-world problems with the migration process. At the same time, in this conference, Love also unveiled the Tx3 cloud cabinet-a 42U standard, weighing up to 850 kg, a single cloud cabinet capacity up to 432TB and support the horizontal expansion, the internal use of energy-saving design of backup disaster storage integration products. According to Love, it will be listed in the second quarter of 2012.
