Technical explanation: How cloud computing improves IDC's operational capability

Hosting, large customers, and traditional user services as three typical IDC businesses, in the process of implementing cloud computing to enhance operational capabilities, it is also necessary to select the appropriate cloud computing model for different customer groups.

Because the commercial operation mode is unitary, the service mode is simple, the informationization degree is low, the domestic IDC industry's profit level has not obviously improved, this not only reduces the IDC service provider's profit level, but also restricts the IDC industry development.

At present, the national IDC market income is still based on the basic resources business, IDC relies on seat rental, host hosting, bandwidth rental and other basic business market share as high as 88.4%; network management, network security, data storage, such as value-added services with high value-added and targeted professional services, the development speed is relatively slow; In the remaining 11.6% of the IDC value-added business share, network security services, services and data storage three share a total of 80%.

However, with the increasing development of information application outsourcing such as 3G, new media, video and so on, the IDC basic business is bound to be difficult to meet customer demand, value-added service will gradually become the focus of IDC business development. and the continuous development of cloud computing technology-through the Internet for individuals and enterprises to provide heterogeneous, autonomous, on-demand access to the new operating service model, will also enhance the operating capacity of IDC to play a huge role.

Reduce operating costs with shared utilization

By improving the sharing rate and utilization ratio of IDC resources, cloud computing will be able to reduce the operating cost of IDC, help IDC to provide more cost-effective service, and attract more enterprises to adopt IDC service, thus bring more benefits to IDC.

Through cloud computing, IDC can consolidate multiple physical servers to the same physical server, reduce 40% software and hardware costs, increase the average utilization per server, and effectively reduce data center space, cabinet, network cable, power consumption, Air-conditioning and human costs and other aspects of operating costs IDC business deployment time will be greatly reduced, server rebuilding and application loading time is also greatly reduced, hardware maintenance, upgrades will be strengthened, equipment downtime will greatly reduce the probability of helping IDC center to establish business and resources relationship, So that existing IDC resources and business priorities correspond, all servers can be used as resource pools for unified scheduling and management, and dynamically allocated on demand.

Three business models "cloud" processing of different

IDC's cloud computing needs to be differentiated and integrated into different business and user groups. Host hosting, large customers and traditional users as three typical IDC business, in the cloud to enhance the operational capabilities of the need to be targeted, for different customer base to choose the appropriate cloud computing model.

Host hosting Business: This business is generally SP hosting, the infrastructure is small, server platform is often PC server, blade server, running Windows/linux operating system, and Internet applications, application model needs to conform to development norms, the cost of hosting costs sensitive.

The business model can apply the PAAs (Platform-service) model in cloud computing. In the PAAs platform, a unified platform architecture, open platform capabilities and other means, based on the Internet to provide platform operating environment, focusing on the development of internal test platform, open API interface, the formation of a large number of data processing centers.

Large customer business: The business generally refers to large web sites, online games, such as Sina, NetEase, Shanda and other emerging Web2.0 enterprises, a large infrastructure, hybrid infrastructure, from the terminal Server to the PC server have a complex system, a wide range of applications, the service level, bandwidth, application deployment speed sensitive.

This kind of business is suitable for cloud computing IaaS (infrastructure as a service) model. IDC service providers integrate internal systems and infrastructure resources, reduce costs, improve the IT infrastructure on a large scale and efficiently, and provide computing and storage resources capabilities in the form of web-based services. Traditional business: The business generally refers to the traditional industries, finance, securities, Government, group customers, and its infrastructure, application types are complex, generally using their own development of industry applications, security, resource exclusive sensitivity. This kind of business is suitable for private cloud or exclusive mode construction.

In-order deployment of IDC cloud Computing

In short, the IDC Cloud computing deployment is a gradual process that protects investment and also needs to minimize implementation risk. In the sequence of starting cloud computing, first of all, we should consider the IaaS platform, first pilot construction and then scale development, and then gradually implement PAAs and SaaS, and then form a complete service system; In the implementation of cloud computing, we should first consider the adoption of standardized, automated and mature technologies to improve utilization and reduce technical barriers To save costs and improve usability.

Cloud computing IDC can be done as follows: first, virtualization integration of servers, storage, networks, etc., and secondly, build a cloud computing infrastructure, deploy its own business and introduce other businesses, provide a simple SaaS service on the basis of providing IAAS services, and, again, build SaaS software development, The platform for managing and hosting operations, the PAAs platform, and, finally, the integration of PAAs, SaaS and IaaS services to make IDC fully cloud-serviced. In the interior, cloud computing IDC can timely and accurately statistical analysis of business operations, to business decision-making and innovation to create a good foundation, in the external, can also enhance the development of traditional service mode, to provide customers with advanced value-added services, expand market share, enhance brand image.
