UCloud parsing billion hands behind the tour

Following the May 29 Shanghai Station, Unity technology tour today held in Hangzhou Bofida Venture Park. As the co-organizer of this event, UCloud, the top gaming cloud service provider in China, also attended the event.

Recently, UCloud has just announced the largest single financing in China's IaaS (Basic Cloud Computing) with a total financing of 50 million U.S. dollars. This also gave a great deal of interest to UCloud's cloud services to the live audience at the event. Take this opportunity, UCloud senior architect Fang Kun share with you the billion behind the IT infrastructure behind the tour.

Here is Fang Kun speech summary:

UCloud is a leading cloud computing IAAS service provider in China. Like most of the teams on the platform, UCloud has grown with the growth of the mobile Internet. Therefore, we not only understand the mobile Internet, but also know more about the needs of the game startup team. Therefore, we are very willing to share the resources and experience for everyone. For example, in the field of games UCloud's ability is more recognized by everyone, so today also to share with you some of this case, I hope useful for everyone.

At present, the domestic hand-game competition has reached a white-hot stage, with the popularity of 4G this competition will be further exacerbated. With the surge in the number of mobile games, players are becoming more and more critical. Products require innovative play, great art and lively plots; fluency and data security are also becoming more and more important, as determined by the underlying IT architecture. In our experience, the most important aspect of an excellent mobile-IT architecture is its high degree of scalability and availability. Because the product is difficult to predict before its launch, its popularity is hard to predict: on the one hand, a large number of servers may be prepared, but the lack of users leads to cost waste; on the other hand, the influx of players causes the server resources to be stretched and the opportunity is lost in vain. So how to meet the needs of low-cost, but also in the influx of a large number of users quickly adjust the structure to ensure a good experience of mass concurrency, IT architecture needs to be considered the primary issue. In addition, factors such as security and rapid disaster recovery are just as important.

One of our cases is very valuable. The recent unusually hot product "Legend of the Turret", their R & D team initially only less than 20 people. After the product is online, players are very welcome. The number of new users and online users soared. The peak time even reached the million at the same time. This is a very alarming figure. Being able to support such a large user base is inseparable from using UCloud Cloud Services. On the one hand, cloud services not only eliminate the initial server costs, improve the deployment efficiency, so that development teams do not need to spend energy to deploy and maintain; the other hand, UCloud BGP multi-line data center covers a variety of access lines, so that different lines Of the players can smooth the game.

As the "Legend of the Turret" users up very fast, in the course of the operation will inevitably encounter many problems. So at that time UCloud's 7 * 24 technical support also played a huge role, even in the middle of the night, we also do in 90 to respond to problems and failures, to minimize any negative impact.

In addition, sound security measures everyone can not see, but it is also one of the most important UCloud security work. UCloud deploys software firewalls and hardware anti-DDOS and WAF systems in the equipment room. Security measures such as ARP spoofing cloud, anti-intrusion detection and brute-force protection are provided on the network, and multiple account resources are securely isolated on the entire platform. This also ensures the safety of the entire system.

It can be said that UCloud professional technology and services, to enable the majority of entrepreneurs focus their efforts on the development and operation of the product itself. Spend less time and money getting the best server capabilities that's exactly what we UCloud hopes to bring to everyone's help!
