Today's mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, have not only become very popular, but also have greatly improved their application capabilities, from a personal digital assistant responsible for daily affairs to an almost omnipotent intelligent terminal. However, as a result of this change, in addition to the significant improvement of hardware performance, various services based on "cloud" have also emerged, especially cloud servers, which have expanded to various fields of television, radio, and even vehicle entertainment information systems. What is the role of ECS? What are the advantages of ECS over traditional data centers? Today, Micron Network will give you a detailed analysis.
Applications based on cloud computing can easily realize interconnection between different terminal devices. Even smart appliances such as mobile phones, computers and televisions without strong processing power can enjoy strong support from the cloud background's super storage and operation capabilities. Normally, Google plans to launch the cloud game service Stadia in November, which is a typical example. In the near future, we may not need a powerful mobile phone or computer, nor a large amount of local storage space. As long as we have a fast enough network, we can enjoy ourselves anywhere and anytime. This is the convenience provided by the cloud backend, which is called "ECS".
Don't think that "cloud server" is a clich é. There is no unified definition and understanding of cloud server in the industry. You can think of all kinds of servers and even computers that provide cloud services as cloud servers. What we pursue is cloud services with high density, low power consumption, low cost and flexible deployment.
Cloud computing can be divided into three levels: "software as a service", "platform as a service" and "infrastructure as a service". The first two are the cloud services most commonly used by users. Focusing on cloud software and cloud software platforms, cloud software or platforms based on the Internet are provided through cloud servers to avoid users installing servers or software locally, or relying only on extremely light clients to use Internet services or products.
For commercial markets and professional users, infrastructure as a service is a hardware resource service. The flexibility of ECS allows users to flexibly lease the performance, space, bandwidth, etc. of ECS without having to purchase, manage, and control any cloud computing infrastructure, and can also deploy and run any software on remote ECS, This includes operating systems and applications.
Compared with traditional data centers, ECS has improved in flexibility, controllability, scalability and resource reusability. For example, the computing or data requests we send from terminals such as mobile phones can be processed in the ECS in Beijing, or sent to the servers in Shenzhen due to load problems, or divided into several parts, which are processed by servers in multiple places at the same time, but we don't feel that, nor do we need to know that, This is obviously different from the centralized large computing/data center we emphasized earlier.
Perhaps many people know that the hyper threading technology in Intel CPUs can improve the CPU's multitasking capability by "virtualizing" additional threads. The virtualization feature of ECS is like the hyper threading technology of CPU, but it is much more complex and more flexible. This requires the creation of additional threads on the server to facilitate the allocation of resources for different computing requests, so as to effectively centralize, dominate, and use the physical resources of hardware.
What is the difference between cloud servers and traditional servers? In my opinion, cloud computing center is a new concept, which is developed on the basis of traditional servers and traditional data centers. It itself is based on traditional servers and traditional data centers. Here we can quote a very vivid analogy of Nicholas Carr in his famous book IT is no longer important: cloud computing is more like "nuclear power plant in the information age", which provides thousands of households with electricity needed for daily life at a lower cost, and users can get electricity as needed. Compared with traditional servers and traditional data centers, it is like a diesel generator installed at home in the early days. A little power can be used for a little power, and it is difficult to ensure endless use. So many people call "cloud computing" the "fourth IT industry revolution".
For cloud service providers, the biggest feature of ECS is that it may not exist. For example, Internet companies that provide services do not need to set up machine rooms or purchase server hardware at all. They just need to rent virtual machines on large cloud servers and apply for certain computing capacity, storage space, bandwidth, etc. At any time, we can put forward a change request when necessary, and can be improved within a few minutes, instead of the traditional "application - purchase or upgrade hardware - install new hardware in the computer room - debug and provide services", which lasts for hours or even days.
That is to say, if we take water, the most common service in our life, as an analogy, cloud services can recycle huge computing resources into an overall resource "pool". Manufacturers can "turn on the tap" according to the needs of consumers, and adjust the water release rate according to the amount. When the pool is short of resources, they can even transfer water from other pools, There is no need to buy a bucket of sub packaged water (server), which is difficult to replenish when it is used up, and will be idle until it expires when the demand is small. For end users who enjoy the service, they can enjoy uninterrupted and sufficient water supply.
Micronet believes that with the popularization of applications, cloud servers are no longer as tall as before. High performance computing has become an important part of people's life, business and scientific research. Building cloud computing infrastructure through virtualization platforms can not only accelerate the response to users' business needs, but also further accelerate the transformation of existing data centers to cloud computing centers. In the future, there will be more powerful computing power, greater memory and bandwidth, and more economical and reliable cloud servers. The only thing that ordinary users can feel is that our Internet applications are becoming more and more powerful, making our life and work more intelligent and efficient.
On this basis, in fact, Huawei Cloud is doing very well. Its cloud server business has now surpassed most of its competitors and ranked second in the domestic market. After more than 30 years of technological precipitation, the core architecture that has been constantly updated through independent research and development has made users' data more secure. Micronet is the preferred dealer under Huawei Cloud, Their growth is obvious to all of us. "Micronet" focuses on providing one-stop core network cloud deployment services for individual developers, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large enterprise users, so as to simplify the cloud deployment of users to zero, and easily and quickly apply cloud computing.
Micronet is one of the few professional cloud computing service providers in China with MIIT cloud service license and trusted cloud certification, and has obtained high-tech enterprise certificate, CNNIC IP address assignment alliance member certificate, system software copyright certificate, and the authoritative certification of ISO27001 information security management system international certification, ISO9001 quality assurance system international certification and other professional institutions at home and abroad, At present, it has provided perfect cloud server related services for tens of thousands of users. Its technical support comes from Huawei Cloud, so it is more reliable if it has strength.
