New Xeon Jin Pa men's Private cloud data center burden

From the law of IT development, each phase has a new concept to launch, SaaS, SOA and today's cloud computing, the forefront of the IT vendors are always keen to pursue the most avantgarde it concept. Cloud computing Since this concept has been in the domestic speculation for many years, how to fall into a topic of great concern to everyone.

2011 was considered by some IT industry as "the Year of cloud computing application". Now, we generally divide the cloud into public cloud, private cloud and mixed cloud, many people think that private cloud will become the first cloud application, the reason is advanced things, will be the most demand for the first use of the enterprise, and will not be the scope of application at the beginning. The editor agrees with this view. But Jin Pa menswear information director Zhou and his team, with a successful case to tell us that the private cloud can take root in the enterprise.

Hard to bear the weight of men's distribution system

General Enterprise IT systems are divided into two parts, Jin PA men's clothing is no exception. Among them, the internal system includes: ERP, BI, OA, mail and so on, while the outside is mainly the distribution system. Jin PA men's clothing company will produce and marketing in two cities, Shanghai Putuo District is mainly responsible for the company's marketing, Fujian Jinjiang Company is responsible for the company's production chain.

Said gung-PA men's distribution system, Zhou full face happy smile, he said it is he led a gang of "brothers" in 2006, through more than half a year of efforts to research and development of the results, and spent half a year in the national promotion. Today, this distribution system is not only responsible for downstream stores distribution management, but also the upstream of the enterprise hundreds of suppliers of management work, including supply, production, logistics, distribution and other links, its importance is conceivable.

In distribution systems, the only bar recognition code is the most important. The unification of the upper and lower bar codes makes the products of men's clothing in the market almost invisible, the phenomenon of the sale of counterfeit goods and Internet. Why? Because Jin PA men's clothes all adopted a unique barcode logo, any one of the clothes status, can be queried online. Many enterprises for product monitoring can only reach the logistics of this link, and Jin PA men can reach the last distributor of the link.

Now, even, Jin PA men can start from the production chain unified control, assigned to the production department how many barcodes, they can only produce so many pieces of clothing. Zhou proudly said: "On Taobao, you can't buy our clothes." Of course, there are also defy the, we check a quasi. "

Jin Pa menswear after years of development, has grown into an international and domestic leading men's jacket company, and Jin PA Men's stores are gradually expanding from 500, 1000, 20,001 straight to now more than 3,000.

The normal sales of these stores within the period of time, each terminal must be in real time with the headquarters system interconnection, resulting in a sale or issued a batch of new goods, companies and distributors can timely grasp of information.

This is the original design of the company distribution system, when the number of terminals and users online at the same time, the headquarters IT system can operate normally. However, the problem arises when this number gradually increases to the highest value the IT system can withstand. In the process of 500 to 3000 of the number of men's stores in Jin PA, each time the number of the enterprise IT system is a new test, the company's IT system performance deterioration, while the headquarters and stores and partners have complained: Slow system, sales data can not be updated in time and other issues.

Zhou for the reporter roughly estimate, more than 3,000 stores is more than 3,000 distribution system terminals, each terminal on average three people in use, peak will have nearly million terminals at the same time with Shanghai headquarters to maintain data interoperability, headquarters IT system to withstand the pressure can imagine how heavy.

What to do? In accordance with conventional thinking, the preferred solution to this problem is to continue to increase the performance of the data center, add upgrades to hardware and software, and so on. However, with years of experience in this industry, Zhou that to completely solve the problem, can not blindly increase the headquarters of IT equipment, cost the company a small amount of money is on the one hand, but also become the company's development bottlenecks, so he believes that it must have a structural rethinking of the system.
