Suzhou Industrial Park adopts Dell EqualLogic cloud storage Solution

Established in 1994, Suzhou Industrial Park is a national development zone established by China and Singapore in cooperation with the approval of the State Council. 2011, Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center began to build Suzhou Industrial Park E-government private cloud platform in the "e-government private cloud Platform" project, the Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center decided that the cloud storage system platform as the "e-government private cloud Platform" project construction of the most important.

Business challenges: Application Non-stop, safe, reliable, cost-controlled, use, intelligent and efficient, facing the future

First, the application system should always be online, all kinds of information services must not be suspended or stalled because of system maintenance, data migration, accidental failure;

Second, the business data to be absolutely secure, to achieve the storage layer and the system layer of the two-tier backup, local and off-site real-time disaster recovery;

Third, system costs to be tightly controlled, especially in storage management software costs, not to be trapped in the vendor unlimited upgrade-pay--and then upgrade--and then pay--escalating--the cost of non-stop pay cycle;

Four, IT equipment must make the best use of the new equipment to be able to integrate the old equipment computing or storage capacity, the old equipment must be able to the new equipment in the framework of a continuous and efficient effective to achieve intensive development;

The data service must be intelligent and efficient, taking intelligence as an example, the cloud storage system should have the ability to automatically identify hot data, secondary hotspot data, general data, long-term idle data, and store it in the most suitable storage area to ensure the intelligence of storage resource configuration, and then take high efficiency as an example. The cloud storage system must have the ability to quickly complete the automatic layering process to ensure the high efficiency of data reading.

Solution: Complete introduction of Dell EqualLogic IP San cloud storage solution, built a set of deployment of continuous, layered automation, storage integration, soft and hard integration of cloud storage platform

After a long period of investigation and demonstration, the final Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center decided to cooperate with Dell, the full introduction of the Dell EqualLogic IP San Cloud storage solution, in three batches (A, B, c three batches) purchased a number of sets of equallogic cloud storage nodes, the construction of a set of sustainable deployment, Layered automation, storage integration, soft and hard integration and many other characteristics of the park government cloud storage platform. During the implementation of the cloud storage, Dell assisted the Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center, and successfully completed the deployment and data migration of the "e-government private cloud platform" storage system in all information system Normal service, as follows:

First, the new and old system of rapid integration (B1, B2, C1, C2 integration into a resource group)

With Dell's assistance, with Dell's free storage software, the Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center integrates the newly purchased 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6000XV IP san cloud storage nodes (B1, B2) into the original 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6000XV IP In the resource group composed of San cloud storage nodes (C1, C2), the virtual host files and business data are stored in the expanded resource group composed of B1, B2, C1 and C2, which realizes the rapid expansion of the cloud storage platform in the case of Non-stop machine.

Second, seamless migration of virtual machines and business data (B1, B2, C1, C2 storage pool in a storage resource group all migrated to A1, A2, A3 storage pools)

The Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center will be the newly purchased 1 sets of EqualLogic ps6100xs IP san cloud storage nodes (A1), 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6100XV IP san cloud storage nodes (A2, A3) to form a new storage resource pool, and add to B1, B2, C1, C2 storage group. After that, in the same storage group, the data in the B1, B2, C1, C2 storage pools are all migrated to the A1, A2, A3 storage pools. Where A1, A2, A3 storage pools as production storage pools, B1, B2, C1, C2 storage pools as disaster-recovery backup storage pools.

Third, the rapid construction of production system and disaster tolerance system (realizing the two-tier disaster-tolerant system of VMware virtual layer and IP San storage layer)

The Suzhou Industrial Park Computer Information Center migrates the newly introduced 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6000XV IP san cloud storage nodes (B1, B2) and the original 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6000XV IP san cloud storage nodes (C1, C2) to another computer room. Disaster-tolerant storage as a cloud platform; At the same time, in the production room to retain the newly purchased 1 sets of EqualLogic ps6100xs IP san cloud storage nodes (A1), 2 sets of EqualLogic PS6100XV IP san cloud storage nodes (A2, A3), both A1, A2, The production storage group for the A3 Cloud platform.

Implementation effect: In the virtualization to the cloud platform upgrade process, Dairyun storage solution for the Suzhou Industrial Park provides a good way to implement the scientific concept of development

袁飚, director of Computer Information Center, Suzhou Industrial Park, said, "in the virtualization to the cloud platform upgrade process, the Dairyun storage solution provides us with the implementation of the scientific concept of development is an excellent way." First people have innovation, choose the Dell IP SAN storage solution, we complete the IT system without downtime, the information service is not stagnant, completed all IT business system about 23TB Data Migration task, greatly reduced the IT technical staff's work pressure, let the traditional human-oriented migration work into modern automation tasks Secondly, the comprehensive coordination of the level, using the Dell Scale-out (scale-out) architecture of the EqualLogic cloud storage platform, we not only fully realize the single equipment load balancing and equallogic full range of automatic layering of the efficient coordination, and comprehensive data management, backup, The one-stop-shop for disaster-free software consumption is organically combined with the rational control of total cost of ownership (TCO), this makes our Suzhou Industrial Park cloud platform construction in the intelligent, intensification of the road more and more quickly; Finally, overall development is sustainable, Dell EqualLogic storage platforms have the scientific mechanism of intergenerational integration, Can achieve efficient generation of product integration, equipment stripping, data migration and other seamless operation, but also in each generation of products to quickly complete the local CDP, remote CDP, VMware Single virtual machine single file instantaneous recovery, multiple virtual machine multiple files instantaneous recovery operations, It can be said that Dell EqualLogic storage platform is the best storage engine for the sustainable development of cloud computing platform. ”
