April 16, 2014, the leading domestic cloud service provider Qingyun Qingcloud officially announced a full upgrade to the 2.0 phase, the upgrade contains a series of performance enhancements and new features of the launch, and the Guangdong flagship zone (GD1) deployment and on-line more will be the system scale of Qingyun expansion to three times times the original scale. The 2.0 phase of the Qingcloud in the hardware configuration, platform performance, function and scale to achieve a significant increase, and maintain the industry's leading position in technology.
As the world's only implementation of resource second-level response and SEC-billing of the basic cloud service provider, Qingcloud in the 1.0 era is the ultimate technical pursuit is known. The main technical highlights include the use of distributed block storage systems to ensure high-performance IO, deployment of real-time offsite replicas to secure data security, through the cloud SDN to achieve flexible and easy-to-use private cloud services (VPC), design real-time Peer-to-peer robot community collaboration to ensure that the fault is harmless, and unrestricted access to all functional APIs.
And the overall upgrade is mainly reflected in the performance of a significant increase in the function of further improvement, node increase and so on. At the same time, with the GD1 on the line, Qingyun lowered the memory, storage and backup and other core functions of the price.
I. Overall performance improvement
Qingcloud hardware upgrades, CPU frequency from 2.0GHz and 2.1GHz to 2.6GHz, memory frequency from 1,333mhz to 1,600mhz, Access layer network still maintain 10Gbps speed, convergence layer to 40Gbps, The core equipment is upgraded to 80Gbps to ensure a better convergence ratio to guarantee the network performance and quality of the users ' resources in the cloud.
Qingcloud through continuous technical optimization, in the premise of ensuring data security, to achieve a significant increase in HDD iops. Upgraded performance hard disk 4K random read, 64K sequential read IOPS soared to 85,000 and 71,000, up to 30 times times the original index; random write ioPS can reach 6,900, up to 1 time times the original indicator. With this upgrade, Qingcloud has further expanded its industry-leading edge in terms of hard disk performance.
For the ever-increasing application of large data storage and processing, Qingcloud drives a single hard drive from 500GB to 1TB to better meet the needs of high-performance large data storage.
As customers deploy more devices in the cloud and handle more data, qingcloud the standard speed limit between the devices of cloud users (including hosts, routers, switches, etc.) from 320Mbps to 1Gbps. In order to meet the demand of users for large data processing and high throughput concurrent service.
Second, the introduction of new features
Qingcloud recently launched a capacity-type hard disk and backup and restore functions, and added three different processing capacity of the load balancer.
For customers to store a large amount of data needs, qingcloud after the performance of the hard drive to launch a larger capacity, lower price capacity of the hard disk. Its single hard disk capacity up to 5TB, suitable for document storage, such as high capacity requirements of the application scenario. Customers can choose to load both performance-and capacity-hard drives under the same instance, making them more flexible, efficient, and economical to meet their business needs.
In order to protect customer data and system security comprehensively, avoid the loss of business data caused by misoperation or application of logic bugs, qingcloud the backup and restore function of block device level. Customers can back up multiple hard disks at the same time (including system disks and data disks), or you can make online backups of running hosts without affecting or disrupting business operations, and you can choose to do a full or incremental backup. After a backup, customers can recover data from any backup point at any time. After this function is launched, Qingcloud becomes the only cloud service provider that can realize the host online backup.
According to the user's actual use and feedback of the load balancer on line for several months, Qingcloud has added three different configurations to meet the requirements of different load levels. By the maximum number of concurrent connections (concurrent 50x15), there are currently four stalls:
5,000
20,000
40,000
100,000
Tsing Qingcloud in March 2013 launched the public test, the same year in July officially launched the commercial IaaS platform service. After a year of development and production operations, has attracted more than million enterprise customers to stay, Beijing 1 District (PK1) is close to saturation. To further enhance the platform processing capacity, and better cover the South China market demand, qingcloud at the beginning of the year to determine Guangdong as its public cloud platform of the second node (GD1), and completed early this month deployed in debugging, GD1 has been officially online recently.
Compared with PK1, the scale of GD1 is enlarged twice times, the overall hardware configuration is higher, and the cost of unit resources is reduced slightly. So qingcloud the price of some resources of GD1:
• Memory price cut by 10%;
• Block storage (including performance and capacity) price reduction by 20%;
• Backup price cut by 20%.
Qingcloud that, with the expansion of business scale and the gradual improvement of hardware performance, the unit price of cloud computing services will also maintain a steady downward trend. Qingyun co-founder &ceo Huang Yunsong that with the virtual high price, the form of a monthly or package year to achieve oversold and then supplemented by dazzling discount promotional means, the implementation of health, sustainable development pricing policy, with IT resources unit cost decline gradually downward tariff, is the biggest positive for customers, To maximize the overall decline in the TCO of the enterprise IT system brought about by the IaaS model.
Qingcloud has always been committed to providing enterprise customers with safe, reliable, performance, on-demand, real-time it resource delivery platform. Huang Yunsong said that through this comprehensive upgrade, the Qingcloud service enterprise customer's scene further expands, the ability further enhancement, already has has the ability to support to more than 90% enterprise IT application. About the future, Huang Yunsong firmly believes that Qingcloud's goal is to continuously upgrade the performance of the cloud to the level of hardware equipment, the maintenance investment will be reduced to infinity close to 0, will eventually create a strong, supporting the global application system on demand, real-time computing resource scheduling and management platform.
