On the development trend of data center driven by cloud computing

In the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13422.html "> Cloud computing Technology Trend, the development of data centers, one of the small size of IT equipment, all devices will enter the rack, The rack becomes the subject of the IT equipment in the engine room. Data center Construction has more reasonable usability design, higher practicality, advanced, flexibility and scalability, and more standardized equipment. In addition, the data center has strengthened the attention to the data preservation environment, has carried on the stricter monitoring and the supervision to the computer room construction. With the development of IT equipment, computer room integration concept becomes the future development trend of the computer room.

The Modular Data center MDC brings new manageability and efficiencies to meet the needs of traditional data centers through capacity expansion, so modular data centers are becoming one of the solutions to meet growing business needs. Most data centers are used between 10 and 15, and the core equipment needs to be upgraded over a 5-8-year period. can be expanded and replaced more freely after modularization. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises, the relatively small amount of money, if the future of modular data center prices dropped significantly, is one of their important choices.

The so-called data center of the green, the industry standards do not agree, nor the formation of a reference to the norms. The green standard can be embodied in two aspects: first, the overall design of scientific and reasonable and equipment energy saving and environmental protection. Green should be embodied in the design or improvement of the configuration of the computer room, to form the optimal configuration of the dynamic environment and minimize the initial input. In the protection of computer room equipment stable operation at the same time, to achieve energy-saving loss. The server, network storage and other 涉笔 to achieve the maximum efficiency ratio. Second, meet the basic operations of the IT environment while ensuring scalability. To reasonably plan the service life of the data center, strive to achieve total TCO minimization.

In addition, a major feature of data center development is automation, which should first be traceable, that is, any device in the data center can be repaired and tracked to ensure the ease of operation of the data center. Second, dynamic and automated management of data centers for workload mobility and automated management, and high availability. Compatibility requires the perfect switching, connection and communication between devices, data groups, and data center groups. The last point of continuity is that the data center is required to meet the needs of the enterprise in the short term (5-10 years), with the requirement of scalability to meet the medium-term (10-20-year), long-term (20-30-year) needs of the enterprise.
