Open Compute Data Center

Editor's note: Data Center 2013: Hardware refactoring and Software definition report has a big impact. We have been paying close attention to the launch of the Data Center 2014 technical Report. In a communication with the author of the report, Zhang Guangbin, a senior expert in the data center, who is currently in business, he says it will take some time to launch. Fortunately, today's big number nets, Zhangguangbin just issued a good fifth chapter, mainly introduces Facebook's data center practice, the establishment of Open Computing Project (OCP) and its main work results. Special share. The following is the text: confidentiality is the data ...

Facebook unveiled its open Compute project in April 2011, a strong earthquake for the information industry. It is noteworthy that Facebook not only exposes technical documents, but even the design of CAD drawings for servers and data centers is completely open. Facebook's move was also thought to have been likened to a paper published in 2004 by Google MapReduce. Google's openness in the years actually started the cloud-computing campaign that is now raging. and face ...

Blink of an eye, the first half of 2011 has gradually faded out of people's vision. In this six months, major manufacturers have unveiled a new generation of "cloud Center"-Data center. There are both open data centers, container data centers, new data center cooling systems, and data center "things". In particular, since last year, major manufacturers have demonstrated the wonderful nature of the various data centers, but also to the industry's attention. Next, let's briefly review the content. "Type" data center 1, the safest data center in the safest data center is famous ...

This April, Facebook released Open Compute Project, designed to accelerate data center and server innovation. But implementing an Open-source project is more than just releasing data. Facebook also needs support from other community members. 　　Beyond that, Facebook's open source hardware team has a tougher challenge. The beginning of Open compute Michael had previously played for Google, he told VentureBeat, when he first came to Faceboo ...

The storage system is the core infrastructure of the IT environment in the data center, and it is the final carrier of data access. Storage in cloud computing, virtualization, large data and other related technologies have undergone a huge change, block storage, file storage, object storage support for a variety of data types of reading; Centralized storage is no longer the mainstream storage architecture of data center, storage access of massive data, need extensibility, 　　Highly scalable distributed storage architecture. In the new IT development process, data center construction has entered the era of cloud computing, enterprise IT storage environment can not be simple ...

IBM pureapplication System (W1500 and W1700 v1.0 and v1.1) is a boxed cloud computing system with hardware and software to deploy and execute workloads in the cloud, with all the functionality required to add a private cloud environment to an enterprise data center. This article outlines the hardware contained in Pureapplication system and uses the system console to view individual components. This article is part 1th of a series of three articles that will introduce ...

Innovation and change in the past, all roads through the data center. The Enterprise data Center, as a configuration point for network, storage, and computing services, should be at the center of the mission-critical functional area because it is simple: the cost of delivering large-scale, centralized services to tens of thousands of users is so high that it can only be managed through the physical configuration of the required resources. Now all this has changed. With the growing demand for operational efficiency, sustainable business operations, dynamic business diversification, and cost competitiveness, the role of the data center is the same as it used to be ...

Open source concept is a great success in software development, so independent Industry Alliance: Open Compute Project is trying to apply the same idea to data center hardware development field. The organization is developing a set of hardware specifications and mechanical designs for motherboards, power supplies, server chassis and cabinets, and battery enclosures. This effort is expected to reduce server costs and simplify deployment for new large data centers. An industry giant is supporting this open computing project. Facebook built one of the largest data centers in the world ...

The cloud computing concept originated in super large-scale internet companies such as Google and Amazon, and with the success of these companies, cloud computing, as its supporting technology, has been highly recognized and widely disseminated by the industry. Today, cloud computing has been widely regarded as the new phase of IT industry development, which has been endowed with a lot of industry and product level significance. Because of the multiplicity of meanings, various concepts are complex, many companies and practitioners have their own cloud, as Xu Zhimo in the "accidental" a poem said: "I am a cloud in the sky, and occasionally projected in your wave heart." Traditional ...

"Tenkine Server channel May 19 News" In the cloud computing trend, the Internet industry has become a powerful driving force in the server market. According to 2013 sales year-on-year growth of 48%, accounting for the market total of 32% of the trend of development, the Internet industry in the high-speed growth, but also leading the change in the data center, server deployment mode changes. 　　And the server market is also adapting to this change, server manufacturers have launched a custom-oriented server products for the Internet industry. Speaking of customization, OCP project (Open Compute project ...)
