Opportunities and challenges of "live report" cloud IDC

Fellow leaders, distinguished guests, friends of the IT community, good morning, I am glad to have the opportunity to share with you the opportunities and challenges brought about by cloud computing to the data center, I am from the Fan Chunying of China million network.

This is the traditional IDC business, always let us very tangled, how to say? We see the pain of all kinds of operators in the operations center, for example, single point of failure, we will see network single point, server single point of failure, storage System single point, upgrade migration difficult, application deployment time is long, at the same time can not realize the migration of the application of smooth excessive, at the same time cost-effective, drink a glass of milk to buy a cow, The threshold is high, and for many entrepreneurs, start-ups, they have no way to afford the cost of data centers. Further down the development, for operators themselves, there will be their own pain, such as tens of thousands of server management problems, the stock can not be set down, IDC storage space, once taken up, the cost of this, it is difficult to drop down. At the same time, not low-carbon, environmental protection, a lot of network and storage, a variety of computing resources are not balanced, and many resources are idle and waste of the state.

For example, in our statistics, basically, we have about 10,000 servers, the average CPU share of less than 30%, storage system may only 20%, 30% space occupied, others are idle, but these idle resources, we lack of effective mechanism for the integration of the whole, And can be shared again, this mechanism does not exist, see no meaning of idle, while electricity consumption has not been significantly reduced, this did not. Another is the delivery cycle can not be very high control, the cost of various management is also very high.

Now the cloud is very hot, we see the domestic last year or two, each summit will talk about cloud computing, while the large and small cloud computing exhibition and forum also many, in fact, the real cloud computing technology, currently in the hands of foreign companies. We see the world's leading provider of cloud computing, each has its own background and advantages, the first is Emmoson, this is the boss of cloud computing, the position is relatively high, he is now from the IaaS to the SaaS have dabbled in, in the field of IaaS, many of our cloud computing vendors and service providers, are to Emmoson learning, From EC2 to Ebi, to storage Isrik, and to the distributed database of RDS, as well as the subsequent CDN technology, has been the trend to lead the IaaS, and Love Mawson also launched its own can provide a number of directional API solutions to their own electrical and other enterprise-level customers to provide applications. Focus is focused on platform services, which is called PAAs, based on its own on LINECR system, At the same time, open a platform called focus.com, a large number of developers and SV into the platform, to help them build a basic platform, so that they develop their own software and applications on the above, currently occupy a large market leadership in the PAAs platform area.

Google Needless to say, is the cloud computing, the main provider of many of its own services to the cloud model, providing maps, translation and other functions, are in the way of cloud services provided to other partners.

There are powerful private cloud companies abroad, originally is the traditional IDC, now they go into the cloud computing industry, at the same time for enterprises to solve the private cloud services, the current P/E ratio of more than Emmoson, about 100 times the P/E ratio, for his growth rate, the capital market is also very optimistic, and down there are other software vendors can mention What Microsoft does is the DDC program and cloud Computing program, and Oracle mainly because in previous years acquired Zen, acquired an open source organization, so launched its own cloud computing business, but also laid in the field of virtualization technology boss, most of the current commercial software is Zen virtualization technology, Including Emmoson, including the company just mentioned.

Today, many of China are using Zen virtualization technology, the next is eucalyptus, in fact, is to do the virtualization management software, while the software management Zen, KPM and Hepalink this technology, so is a solution and technology provider. EMC has an unshakable place in the realm of virtualization.

Today we see the big cloud makers, or rely on their original E-commerce platform, like Emmoson platform, and also has a core virtualization technology, today's virtualization technology, mainly in the three major manufacturers, EMC, Microsoft and VMware, so the future of cloud computing in the basic areas, In the field of IaaS competition is basically established, because virtualization is controlled by a few hardware and software, the next look at the cloud computing market scale.

We see the upper left corner and the lower right corner, is a foreign global cloud computing services Market Size forecast, one is IDC's forecast, one is Gartner's forecast, IDC's forecast may be more optimistic, forecast to 44.2 billion dollar gradual growth, by 2013 scale, the load growth rate is 26%, But Gartner's cloud computing does not include Google's search business, with a low forecast, while load growth is not high, but overall forecasts are upward growth. The other two, is Sadie Consultants and IDC for the Chinese market size of the forecast, also is a better trend upward.

At the same time, we see the cloud computing market scale increase, will be greater than IDC itself market size increase, indicating that many traditional IDC market to some extent by the cloud computing market replaced. Cloud computing Let's take a look at the challenges that the traditional IDC poses.

The first is the scale of IDC, the challenge of interconnection structure, now China's IDC is very much, very fragmented, I read a statistic, 2009 total data center reached 510,000 to 520,000, so many data centers, many are small data centers or miniature, what is small? No more than 100 cabinets can be understood as small data centers, management becomes very difficult, want to put resources together to share, want to do the unified scheduling cost is very high, room single point problem is more prominent, small room is difficult to achieve between optical fiber interconnection, the room itself will form a single point of failure. Second, the challenge of rapid deployment, flexible expansion, now IDC may not have such a capability, so in the deployment of cloud computing, the advent of cloud computing, there is no way to achieve rapid deployment and the necessary capacity for expansion. Third, the cost advantage of the challenge, the current focus on power consumption and operation and maintenance management, which requires a large number of virtualization and distributed storage adoption, this solution to achieve economies of scale, in fact, today's IDC has great difficulties and challenges.

At the same time, these challenges, if we can step over the threshold, we can form IDC to the cloud computing environment under IDC's competitive advantage, for example, to reduce operating costs, improve business and management efficiency, can enhance the reliability of applications and load capacity, can achieve large-scale cluster and flexible expansion. Let's take a look at the technology changes in the IDC that cloud computing brings, which is how to seize the opportunity.

In fact, we look at storage from a single point of disk, from disk to cluster to cloud storage, always follow customer requirements, when a single disk point, we can not solve the problem, we will think of an array to solve, the array can be implemented read, can achieve duplex, or multiple disks between the mutual preparation, But finding an array also appears as a single point, single controller single point, so we have to do dual controller, dual controller, found that the upper Allied switch may appear single point, we have to put the storage system alone to do the upper Allied solution single point, we will always solve a single point, there will be another single point, So this model is not going to solve today's problems. Finally, the cloud storage, through distributed storage, completely solve the data redundancy and sequential backup problems.

Similarly, computing resources are the same, a server to expand to more than one to do the balance, and finally found that the calculation simply using computing power performance, through a parallel calculation and distributed computing solution to all the problems of computing, and no longer rely on a single point or a single cluster, the network is the same reason, if we solve a single network card point, Will form a single point for routers and switches, finally, we found that even IDC room will become the business of a single point of failure point, so we have to put a lot of IDC interconnected to form a network of cloud room architecture, currently this is the standard architecture of cloud computing, we want to implement dynamic computing architecture, The data centers in Beijing and Shanghai can be combined with bare optical fiber, so that two of the computer room in theory to form a LAN environment, so that resources can be shared, Beijing room failure, we still through their own fiber-optic circuits, still let the Beijing room to provide external services, or through the off-site load balance, To achieve mutual disaster preparedness and balance load between multiple nodes.

At present million network has built up the core cloud computing room in three cities, has enabled the cloud room of Beijing and Hangzhou's cloud room, Qingdao is now building, optical fiber we have 10 g, pulled from Qingdao to Hangzhou, is ready, in the future will be in three core nodes, distributed in the telecommunications, Unicom and mixed lines, So we can achieve the best interconnection of the lines.

In this picture, we can see that the value of cloud computing to IDC is still very high, which is mainly embodied in reducing costs, giving customers and universities management, stable and reliable two levels. Through the technical means and operational means, mainly through virtualization technology, according to the use of pay, as well as distributed storage, the overall ability to reduce ICO, is the whole operation of the cost will be reduced. At the same time, we can achieve reliable data through centralized operation and maintenance management, automated production control, data redundancy and mutual backup mechanism. At the same time here we also mention that the initial cost of the enterprise, we will gradually become operational costs, enterprises do not use their own funds to purchase the server and network equipment, including the acquisition of storage equipment, and then start operations, can directly into the business directly related to the application of the system.

Here next, if cloud computing in the IDC business embodiment, the advantage is to be able to provide high-performance full network cloud application access, can build a centralized resource management platform, and can quickly respond to customer and application needs reflect. This diagram is primarily a solution to the cloud computing business in IDC, for example, to the IaaS below this layer mainly provides virtual machines, cloud storage, including the enterprise private cloud construction, the middle is mainly to provide PAAs services, and then the application is a variety of enterprise-class applications and E-commerce applications.

Now million network of cloud computing platform to do is an integrated solution, we have been built through million network of public cloud to help enterprises quickly build enterprise-related private cloud or enterprise standardization of cloud computing products, can reduce IAAS operating costs, and the fastest speed to build enterprise information management platform and E-commerce platform. Here is a brief introduction to the cloud computing network.

We have three years of development, now there are core rooms in three, with about 10,000 servers on the scale, now there are 1 million independent IaaS stereo libraries, and we are running on the cloud, including new recruits and migrating customers, about 100,000 companies are already enjoying the million network of cloud computing services.

The core technology is mainly focused on the following points, including virtualization technology, distributed storage, distributed cloud Computing Management Center and Intelligent Monitoring management platform. In fact, all cloud computing is the core of these four points, if you can do well, basically cloud computing is the real cloud. Evaluate whether a cloud is sufficiently scalable and scale-efficient, mainly to see if any resources can be supplemented, in the cloud can be simply by appending a physical server to solve, whether the lack of network resources, storage resources or computing resources, can simply append a server to solve. Distributed storage, now a threshold for many cloud computing vendors, must leap, and if you are using centralized storage, a shared array, or another it model, it will greatly limit the size of the entire cloud. So that distributed storage has formed the industry standards, many enterprises in China to engage in cloud computing, this has not been a breakthrough, you can refer to Google's GFS and card distributed open source software, on this basis, build their own enterprise powerful distributed storage, as far as possible to discard all the expensive enclosure and sun equipment, Only by doing distributed storage can the PC server be introduced into the storage system, and the storage cost can be really reduced.

And reliability is not by read, not rely on hard disk reliability, its reliability is maintained through the Distributed file system, while saving three of data, storage to different partitions, can do hot monitoring and automatic distribution deployment, every day can do a quick tune, these are the traditional storage system is completely not available, And the quick tune can be done completely without taking up physical space. Let's take a look at some of the features of cloud computing now.

For example, our current distributed storage system, can be stored at the same time three or more, so as to ensure that any server or hard disk damage, will not lose the current data, and we support the fast-reconcile rollback, we provide customers with a fast, and then can roll back to any one want to go to the point of time At the same time, the mechanism of fault migration, guarantee a cloud computing in the physical server appears damage, artificial power unplugged, in about 10 minutes, can be in another server, left intact extraction system, customer data if do not do load balancing, also will not lose data, or in the shortest possible time can be restored. If you are using a Linux system, you may be able to recover within a minute, but Windows starts slowly, so it may be a little bit longer.

At the same time, we support a dynamic upgrade in the current features, we can achieve by a small cloud computing host very smooth upgrade of memory and bandwidth, CPU to a large host, between almost no downtime, in addition to the memory upgrade to reboot, the other can be done smooth upgrade. This is our subsystem for the entire IDC monitoring Cloud resource management platform, cloud host monitoring and management system, as well as through the black core, white core monitoring to do the third eye of the system, and the flow of the monitoring and payment of cloud computing resource billing system, through monitoring analysis, finally optimize the enterprise's IT facilities decision-making. This is the network monitoring, many of the nodes deployed in the country, monitoring cloud host is not to the national nodes, speed is fast, and acceptable. At the same time we do a cloud computing resource management platform, this is just a demon, we have about 10 room in the country, can through a management interface to the 10 computer room completely management, from a certain IDC to the website, to the specific physical server and virtual machine, we can achieve in a number of computer room resources between the preparation and migration.

This is an example, when we see a Windows Cloud host, we can get the cloud host specific configuration information and software information, as well as landing Remote Desktop can be implemented, but also to monitor the use of machine resources.

In conclusion, million network now the advantage of cloud computing is reliable data, stable security, high efficiency low-carbon and unlimited expansion, there are already some enterprises have chosen the million-net cloud computing platform, Haier and Schneider electrical appliances are the million-net private cloud architecture, which is our targeted solutions to large enterprises, Many large enterprises are not too comfortable to put their own data on the public cloud, still accustomed to hosting in their own data center, we in the public cloud environment, help them to divide several cabinets to do private cloud network environment, while using cloud computing technology to help them deploy the environment, in addition to the use of cloud computing resources, You can also host your own most critical servers, enter the virtual cloud environment in physical form, and we also support the ability to connect to the cloud from within the enterprise, thus implementing a hybrid cloud architecture that addresses corporate concerns about the public cloud, While enjoying the benefits and cost savings of virtualization and distributed storage.

In addition, Jinyu shares and Lee Lang Business Men's official station in our cloud host platform. Then there is the listed companies, China CRCC and Donga donkey-hide gelatin, as well as a large number of electronic business sites, they like to choose Cloud Host, there are several advantages, such as coping with peak time, is the cloud host can achieve a lot of flexibility, we will give a buffer, will not be directly restricted to resources and bandwidth, we adopt the method of payment , to give a great buffer, able to deal with such as Singles Day, Valentine's Day typical peak, there are some group buying sites will choose cloud Host, because the cloud environment provides a very good ability to resist denial-of-service attacks, we have achieved fiber optic interconnection, can effectively lead to attack traffic to different nodes, This will avoid some of the attacks caused by vicious competition.

The future of the cloud computing era of IDC, I think will be a logical IDC, is that we have not seen the specific physical computer room, the customer no longer care about the server hosting where, or there is no server, we in different nodes, can achieve very good interconnected environment, Using the cloud computing model to solve the problem of interconnection in China today, at the same time to the best cost, large-scale advantages to let their customers. Long Xiang Yun, a total of building brilliant, and finally through the cloud computing Dongfeng, I hope that the company's enterprises have better development, thank you!
