The power of disaster-tolerant to borrow clouds

In China, there are still a significant number of corporate users using tape for backup. From tape backup to backup to disk and now the hot talk of cloud backup, Yunjong disaster, how many twists and turns in this midst? First of all, from tape backup to cloud Backup, Yunjong disaster, this is certainly a step-by-step process. Secondly, from the mainstream enterprise user needs, enterprises are facing the pressure of large data, not only to protect the data security of hundreds of servers, but also to maximize the speed of data backup and recovery. Finally, cloud Backup, Yunjong disaster also has a variety of operating modes, including private cloud, public cloud and mixed cloud, and the private cloud of the model will be first recognized by enterprise users.

"We can analyze the challenges posed by large data to data protection and disaster recovery from three dimensions of data volume, real time and diversity," said He Hongfu, president of Love Software Limited. From the point of view of data quantity, the data storage capacity larger than 100TB can be called large data. From a real-time perspective, companies want to complete the processing and analysis of data within a short period of time, such as the completion of 10TB data in an hour of backup, and previously processed 10TB data may take at least 5-6 hours; From the perspective of diversity, large data includes structured, unstructured and other types of data, which is a difficult problem in the management and use of data, especially the sharing and management of tens of millions of files is a big challenge for enterprises. ”

First, the cloud cabinet to achieve "two"

Is there a simple solution that allows users to quickly enjoy the convenience of cloud disaster? Love number is about to launch the Txcloud cloud cabinet is one of the options.

Txcloud Cloud Cabinet is a standard 42U rack equipment, weighing about 850kg. If only from the look of the Txcloud cloud cabinet seems to be a big number of love backup storage cabinets, because both are based on the integration of the design concept, on the one hand, the software and hardware highly integrated, on the other hand, storage, backup, disaster tolerance and other functions are integrated together. However, the difference between the Txcloud and the love number backup storage cabinets is very obvious. First of all, Txcloud is the high-end product of love number, and love number backup storage cabinet is the product for the midrange user. Second, although the integration of the design concept, but the Txcloud cloud cabinets in the software and hardware integration, or in the rich degree of the function of a lot more than the love of the backup storage cabinets higher. The last and most important difference is that Txcloud cloud cabinets employ many technologies that adapt to cloud computing requirements, such as scale-out (Scale-out) technology and built-in VMware vsphere software.

"Txcloud Cloud Cabinet using integrated cabinet-type server, set hardware platform, software platform in one, and the infrastructure cloud architecture and cloud computing application platform integration, can provide enterprises with backup, disaster-tolerant, application storage, such as a variety of cloud-based platform applications. "He Hongfu added," The Txcloud cloud cabinets in the design of the "Two", that is, integration and cloud. ”

The physical capacity of the Txcloud cloud cabinet can reach 432TB, because of the use of duplicate data deletion technology, its logical capacity is up to 3.5PB. Txcloud Cloud cabinets with integrated architecture and energy-saving design, its overall cost of ownership than other similar products can save 50%. Txcloud cloud cabinet includes backup nodes, disaster-tolerant nodes, and CDP (continuous data protection) technology, can support 50 server application level disaster, its backup maximum performance can reach 18tb/h. It is reported that Txcloud cabinet will be officially supplied in the second quarter of 2012.

Second, the overall turn to the cloud

To txcloud the appearance of the cloud cabinet as an opportunity, love after a full turn to the field of cloud computing. "We're going to turn ' clouds ' into genes for love," says He Hongfu. From the perspective of application, the number of love will still focus on data backup and disaster recovery. ”

Txcloud Cloud cabinet unveiled the love Count Cloud Strategy landing prologue. He Hongfu said: "Love number cloud landing strategy, including platform landing, the solution landing and operating three parts landing." Txcloud Cloud Cabinet is only the beginning of landing on the platform. The heart of the cloud platform is Tx3 cloud computing architecture. TX3 Cloud computing Architecture is a cloud computing platform architecture with resource sharing, architecture unification and open interface. Based on this, love number constructs several business application cloud, including Txcloud cloud cabinet, infrastructure cloud platform, backup disaster cloud Platform, desktop protection cloud platform, data sharing cloud platform. Currently, the cloud platform of love number is mainly aimed at the private cloud environment. He Hongfu that the main challenges that enterprises face in building private cloud are: first, building private cloud for heterogeneous IT environment; second, building private cloud based on data lifecycle management; third, building private clouds in an integrated way. Love number Private cloud solutions have the characteristics of integration, simplification, integration and security, which can meet the needs of private cloud construction.

In the area of cloud disaster, Love has also worked in depth with NetApp. Currently, two have jointly launched the Gateway + primary storage backup solution and based on the TX3 series of integrated cloud disaster solutions.
