What is a cloud data center? How is it different from the traditional data center?

Cloud computing data center www.clwidc.net and China Wang Longyun data center are new data centers based on cloud computing architecture, with loosely coupled computing, storage and network resources, complete virtualization of all kinds of IT equipment, high degree of modularization, high degree of automation and high degree of green energy saving.

The cloud data center is characterized by high virtualization, including virtualization of servers, storage, networks and applications, and users can call various resources as needed; Secondly, the degree of automatic management, including the management of physical servers and virtual servers, the automatic process management of related businesses, and the automatic management of customer service charges; Finally, green energy saving, all aspects of cloud computing data center meet the green energy saving standards, and the general PUE value does not exceed 1.5.

The difference between cloud data center and traditional data center lies in:

First, the infrastructure of cloud data center is more large and standardized, which brings the complexity of management.

Secondly, in order to save costs and achieve business growth, cloud data centers must adopt various virtualization technologies.

The third major management difference is in automation.

In the cloud data center, when the business needs to be migrated, the equipment needs to be uniformly configured, the faults need to be checked and eliminated in time, and the process needs to be tracked, how to efficiently manage such a large number of equipment and applications? Of course, it needs to be realized by automated means.

The emergence of cloud data center is undoubtedly a new progress. In addition to the characteristics of high virtualization, it also includes new technologies and products, such as low-power CPU and solid-state hard disk. It can be said that the cloud data center is the savior of the traditional data center.
