"Violet Cloud Computer" can store 20G HD movies in 17 seconds

As a new term, the vocabulary associated with "cloud computing" attracts a lot of attention in people's lives. But many people do not particularly understand this technology, especially when it comes to cloud computing, is a face of doubt, because people have neither seen nor described what the chief of Cloud computing is. A few days ago, the world's first cloud computer, the "Violet Cloud computer," unveiled its mystery: a body of black chassis, flashing or blue or green lights ...

This is the world's first cloud computer: "Violet 1000." As the first cloud computer in the world, its performance naturally attracts people's attention.

The number of CPU processors in a single violet cloud computer (Ziyun 1000) can be expanded to 65,535 and the storage space can be expanded to 85PB. Its throughput is 1.2gb/seconds. Violet Cloud computer related technicians told reporters, can do such an analogy, the ordinary computer only a CPU processor and a hard disk, its computational capacity and storage capacity is extremely limited. The world's fastest supercomputer is the Tianhe second supercomputer developed by the National defense Hkust, with 32,000 CPU processors and 48,000 coprocessor, a 12.4PB-capacity hard disk array (equivalent to 12400 1TB hard disk capacity). The violet Cloud computer's CPU can be expanded to 65,535, storage space can be expanded to 85PB, that is, the equivalent of 85000 pieces of 1TB hard disk capacity.

Throughput is the amount of data that is successfully transferred in a unit of time. How fast is 1.2gb/seconds? A 2-hour 1080P (1920x1080 resolution) Full HD movie requires 20GB storage space, and the Violet Cloud computer can store the entire movie in just 17 seconds.

Like a shared water

Same as electricity.

With such exceptional performance, what is the use of cloud computing? In fact, people in the life has used a lot of cloud computing to bring convenience services, such as network search, E-commerce, network albums, network disk.

Relevant technical personnel told reporters, Violet Cloud computer is mainly used in government, enterprises and other industry users of IT systems, as well as intelligent cities, things networking, intelligent transportation, intelligent medical, food safety, smart grid and other large data application fields. At present, these areas mainly adopt X86 server, there are some problems, such as running only one program per server, resulting in low resource utilization of the server. At the same time, its operating costs are rising. "With the increasing of IT system scale, the computing environment is becoming more and more complex, the operation and maintenance cost of IT system is increasing steadily." ”

Cloud computers came into being, by using virtualization software, the X86 servers with relatively low cost are fused into a computer with powerful computing power, so that the discrete hardware resources can be unified to form a dynamic platform of resource sharing, and its computing ability (computational ability, storage capacity) is dynamically scalable and expands on demand.

The effect of cloud computing is obvious, as virtualization technology provides resource sharing, increasing the utilization of X86 servers by several times and reducing construction costs. And the cloud computing machine uses the automation management software, carries on the automation management to each application software, the computational Unit and the memory unit, thus reduces the manpower management, impels the Operation Maintenance management simplification, has reduced the operation maintenance cost greatly. The traditional way to build such a system requires a skilled IT technical team of more than 10 people, consuming 1 months or even months to deploy. If you use a cloud computer, you need only 1 skilled technicians for a few hours.

Relevant experts told reporters that cloud computers can make e-government and cloud computing technology perfect combination, in the future, the public will be able to use utilities like public resources, sharing the use of government services provided.
