Why Are Server Hard Drives So Expensive

Moderator: Good afternoon everyone, welcome to the Third China Cloud Computing Conference Cloud Base Division venue, this afternoon by the super cloud to share with you in the cloud computing and the Big Data era, the cloud as a focus on infrastructure manufacturers in what we are doing, we can help people achieve what, today I would like to ask everyone here, There are many new friends, old friends, which are the first time to visit the cloud base, are there? I simply put the current general situation of cloud base to tell you, cloud base two years ago formally established, but also by Dr. Tian founded China Netcom after the third venture, so ...

Because of the lack of enterprise-class product contact to understand, many users, a contact server, Web page production, such as office information preparation, can not help but some confused. 　　Not only that, the current chaotic medium and low-end server market also allows buyers to sigh, especially true and false server discrimination often let these laymen overwhelmed. With the continuous deepening of the server differentiation and information process, the development of small and medium-sized enterprises can not be separated from the construction of local area network, server and other basic information needs. But at the same time, most of the small and medium-sized server requirements are general, performance requirements are also very general, so manufacturers needle ...

Server performance is becoming more robust as CPUs, memory, and storage technology evolve. For example, CPU manufacturer Tilera Corp. recently released the TILE64 family multi-core processor. The processor contains 64 separate processor cores, and each core is a fully functional processor. Each core contains L1 and L2 caching, which means that these cores can support a full operating system (OS) independently. The physical server technology has elevated memory management to a new level. For example, HP Proliant DL580 G7 server, with 64 ...

In the business and enterprise network, generally are mining C mode, that is, "client-server" mode, according to the authority of the investigation and prediction, the future of the network development also shows the trend of centralized computing. 　　And the rise of data center to the server configuration density put forward more and more high requirements, it is in this situation, in order to break the limit of individual performance of the server, a new generation of clustered server-blade server. With the further development of large-scale computing and network server requirements for parallel processing capabilities, "collective power" to cast a powerful processing power blade server has been ...

The fastest way to store a computer system is the ram traditionally used primarily as memory. As the access performance of the hard drive has deteriorated over the years, and the cost of RAM has been decreasing, many researchers have been exploring how to replace the hard disk with memory in recent years. As early as the 1980, David DeWitt and Garcia-molina and so on published a main memory database paper. Steven Robbins's article points out that the Turing Prize winner, Jim Gray, is more explicit about the idea that "memory will be a hard drive and the hard drive will become a tape."

The hybrid flash array is superior in performance to an array based on traditional hard drives, with lower latency and cheaper prices than most pure flash arrays. However, their prices are still higher than those based on traditional hard disks, and their structures are much more complex. 　　Given the price and complexity, what kind of applications and environments can derive the most benefit from a hybrid flash array? First, let's look at the purpose of developing a Flash array: High data growth rates have had a huge impact on the data center. Analysis of this problem can start from "3V", namely: Volume (volume) 、...

Not long ago, Beijing World Super Cloud Technology Co., Ltd., a full range of 25 Super Cloud server in Beijing also Zhuang Yun base. At this point, Beijing has completed the country's most complete cloud computing industry chain layout, Beijing's cloud computing has entered a new stage of industrial development.　　According to the introduction, in the future, Beijing will build Asia's largest super cloud server production base, in the "Twelve-Five" end, Beijing's cloud-related industry revenue will reach 200 billion yuan.　　Beijing to implement the "Xiangyun plan" to 2015, the formation of 200 billion yuan industrial scale, to build Asia's largest cloud server production base. Shanghai...

Peak Showdown: hypertable (c + +) throughput Test victory HBase (Java) as is well known, in 2006 Google unveiled its BigTable paper as another innovation after Google's two innovations in GFs and MapReduce, It has a great technical advantage in the design of the management structure data in the case of mass data processing. and Hypertable and HBase are the most well-known two based on the bigtable design of the database, their differences ...

Dong Xin: Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, welcome to the Hello Cloud architecture of the sub-forum, I am sure that many of you have participated in the morning meeting this afternoon in the Cloud Architecture forum, where they sat together to discuss how to put the cloud's vision, how to put the big data to the final landing, how to make our calculation , our storage, our network, can be better integrated and played in the era of cloud application architecture change. So we are also very happy today to invite experts in the industry, corporate executives, including our customers and our partners, so here I also represent super ...

Beijing time this morning, Intel (Intel) officially released the Xeon Phi (Xeon) coprocessor based on an integrated Salt Lake City (MIC) architecture at the supercomputer (SC12) Conference held in the city. One of the Xeon Phi coprocessor 5110P with the date of shipment, January 28, 2013 GA, recommended customer price of 2649 dollars; Xeon Phi Coprocessor 3,110 families will be available in the first half of 2013, advising customers price less than 2000 U.S. dollars. Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor Home ...
