Virtual host benefits from cloud computing wave

Site just completed, and do not have much access, do not need to invest a large number of technical personnel, procurement of virtual host can complete the construction station. Just like real-life rental shop, just start to do, go to wangfujing to rent a storefront, will occupy a large amount of start-up funds, this is not necessary. Similar to the Western Digital such well-known host service providers, products from the virtual host to the VPS host, and then to high-end cloud host products, the entire product line is quite perfect, suitable for the development of various stages of the site, and support the perfect upgrade. This is one of the great advantages of the Internet, when the business is unable to support the development of the time, can not affect the business in the case of shop hardware upgrades.

Along with the continuous development, also produced a variety of problems, one of the most disturbing the vast number of Internet users one of the problems is how to find a reliable web site for their own virtual host provider. In fact, a good virtual host provider has a very clear standard.

IDC industry because of a large number of service providers, so the competition is unprecedentedly fierce, the length of business time is to evaluate a virtual host provider of important standards. Incompetent small companies often in the face of market pressure before the difficult, and eventually be ruthlessly eliminated from the market, and finally in the Internet industry is the strength of the strong, reputable large companies. For users, can not covet a moment of cheap, the majority of users through the site's business license to see the service provider's time as a judge.

Some irresponsible service providers because of the use of the machine does not have server performance services, such as the use of low-end servers or the use of the lower-end of the computer room bandwidth to reduce costs, the gap is huge, of course, the quality will be relatively large. The service provider lacks the sufficient hardware support, the technical strength, then the product performance has how good everybody can imagine, therefore, the user buys the best is must first Test under speed, the stability and so on each aspect. If the strength of the service providers are not the same, they often have a stable room environment, high-speed and reliable network, adequate resources.

Fierce competition in the market, some service providers will often use to reduce human costs, but the IDC industry needs professional technicians and sufficient human resources, it is possible to guarantee the real 24-hour service, after all, the industry is more than a sudden situation, server failure, line failure, attack and so on is not artificial can control, Need a lot of technical staff behind maintenance and support, therefore, users to see whether the service provider 7x24 hours, the technical staff is enough, if it is a mobile phone to complete the 24-hour service, the user should be cautious choice.

Cloud computing "when the concept of the first appeared, many people feel" foggy, "but with the rapid development of cloud computing in the world, this concept has gradually" cloud open fog. " Cloud computing is quickly applied to it, the Internet and IDC and other industries, cloud host, Cloud antivirus, cloud Post office These specific applications also gradually into people's lives, play a positive role, and become a trend of development. The changing role of cloud computing has become increasingly apparent.

With the increasing demand of public Internet infrastructure services and the continuous change of business model, traditional virtual hosts face many challenges in energy consumption, efficiency, resource integration and information security. Cloud computing brings together the trend of communication and internet convergence, through virtualization technology, so that high-performance servers and high-quality network bandwidth and other resources to form a huge resource pool. It improves the efficiency of operation and maintenance, reduces the complexity of management, and improves the efficiency and utilization of resources in the center. Effectively solve the traditional host rental price high, uneven service products and other shortcomings, can fully meet the small and medium-sized enterprises, individual webmaster users of the host rental services Low-cost, high reliability, easy to manage the demand.

The role of cloud computing in the development of next-generation virtual host is embodied in the following aspects. First of all, the unified service platform aggregates many resources, gives the enterprise more independent choice, as well as the convenience which increases the demand at any time, causes the energy consumption efficiency to increase, the operating cost can reduce. A virtual host based on cloud computing architecture can develop new products and launch new products with lower management marginal cost, and resources will not be limited to a single product or service to meet a variety of services and needs. Secondly, the virtual host based on cloud computing dynamic infrastructure can flexibly allocate resources and improve the utilization of idle resources.

A virtual machine is a partition in a server, a logical container that includes the operating system, middleware, and "machine mirroring" of application software. Parallel machine mirroring on the same server is like "ships sailing in the dark", and they are independent of each other as if they were running on their respective servers. But the resources they share still have the risk of interfering with each other. This pattern differs from the operating system facilities of a multiple program, which typically includes a number of communication functions that share data resources between running applications and running applications.

Open source applications and BSS. Most of the tools for virtualization and cloud computing are open source, and network operators have long been not advocates of open source applications. This is especially true in their own BSS or internal IT departments. However, there are indications that the decision to build the x86 and data center, which consists primarily of running virtualized cloud servers, will create more profit on both technologies of service provider BSS functionality. While most of the world's operators have used x86 as their BSS platform, and few of them use the Open-source BSS component, the situation has changed.

Service feature hosting. Virtualization trends also offer the possibility that the cloud computing infrastructure will begin to consolidate service-hosted applications, which were created only on the service delivery platform (SDP). Many operators have reported that they have developed thousands or even hundreds of thousands of of SDP, but it is clear that these SDP are not fully exploited. This is a frightening portrayal of the reality that companies face the proliferation of servers, which is the main reason for consolidation and virtualization in the enterprise.

An increasing number of operators note that SDP restricts applications that would otherwise need to be deployed in the central Office using server technology. They also limit applications that require NEBS compatibility (which is a set of design guidelines for the safety, space, and environment of telecommunications equipment in the United States), or links to IMS-related voice function applications.

Service providers are still not fully committed to a single cloud computing strategy, let alone a strategy for hosting cloud computing services. However, they are committed to providing cloud computing services and deployment components to their BSS systems, and even services in cloud computing. Virtualization technology provides more flexibility in matching customer dynamic cloud computing requirements with a static set of cloud computing servers. This means that virtualization is a good way to avoid excessive and indiscriminate investment in infrastructure and maximize flexibility when the market needs cloud computing services and the network operators have not yet identified the "Sweet Zone" (best zone of application).
