The booming and landing applications of cloud computing have spawned a cloud service market, and more and more companies are beginning to lease cloud hosts to carry business loads. Throughout the market, enterprises that can provide cloud hosting services wipe their shoulders, but they are independent in function, deployment, and operation and maintenance management. This also made the cloud host market uneven, and even some "pseudo-dog" pseudo-cloud server services. Industry experts said that true cloud hosts should be able to meet the characteristics of customization, intelligent networking, automatic deployment, flexible expansion, flexible billing, and so on. In a word, cloud hosts must enter the “second generation†era and truly realize the definition of virtualization by software. After the calculation, storage and network resources.
The CIOs responsible for enterprise IT infrastructure planning are very clear. Before the advent of cloud computing, virtualization, etc., the traditional IT architecture is a typical top-level design pattern. It plans from the perspective of core systems, sub-applications, and other business requirements, and then purchases servers once. Physical hardware devices such as storage, storage, and network bandwidth are then deployed, implemented, configured, and optimized through private cloud and data center hosting. This has also brought three major malaise: One is the problem of late-stage IT operation and maintenance, management, requires a strong operation and maintenance team, high cost, low resource usage rate; Second, the ability to respond to the business is weak, creation and deployment cycle Long, it is difficult to meet the needs of the current rapid business applications; Third, intelligent, low degree of automation, flexibility, scalability and flexibility are not enough.
Cloud hosting is increasingly favored by enterprise IT, precisely breaking through these three major bottlenecks. However, with the upgrading of technologies such as virtualization, intelligence, and software definition, cloud hosts need to set things in order and carry out a more “high-dimensional†development stage. The general cloud host service, although it also implements certain automatic deployment, customizes the CPU, system, memory, and hard disk resources of the host according to business requirements. However, there are still options for manual configuration and optimization. Once the business needs increase, Upgrading is also quite cumbersome, and it is also easy to bring about the possibility of human error. In the future, cloud hosts will inevitably enter the “second-creation†era of “one-touch self-serviceâ€. It is almost zero-configured intelligent discovery, resource scheduling and distribution, and it is truly flexible and free to expand without affecting service interruption.
In October last year, Zhiyun Technology's cloud host rental service was officially commercialized. It relied on data center nodes throughout the country such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chengdu to truly achieve “one-click generation and second-level deployment†for computing and storage. And the high-speed, intelligent integration and deployment of network resources is also the first cloud hosting provider to have "secondary" capabilities. According to industry experts, the cloud host not only has a simple creation mode, it can be used in 1 second, and the platform can uniformly create, schedule, and allocate computing, storage, and network resources. It can also allow users to add or modify components arbitrarily. Requirements, adjust the resource configuration at any time, and personalize. This greatly enhances the ability of the cloud architecture to respond quickly to the business and meets the needs of dynamic, real-time, and fast-online deployment of business applications in the Internet era.
At present, the traditional IT architecture is being gradually replaced. Cloud hosts that are more resilient, more flexible, and customized on demand have been embraced by more and more companies. According to data released by Internet service providers in conjunction with the world, 80% of SMEs currently use cloud hosting. In 2014, 30% of enterprise application costs were spent on cloud computing services. As a certain fast-delivering service, the cloud host simplifies the operation, maintenance, and management of IT architectures with the features of rapid deployment, zero configuration, intelligent definition, and expansion, reducing IT costs and complexity, real-time updating, and dynamic scheduling. Self-management will become the development trend of the cloud host in the future. It will also allow enterprises to focus resources and manpower on the business level. IT will no longer be a passive support role, and it will truly become the engine driving the growth of enterprise business.
