Data center storage management solution using cloud storage

Now, for large data centers, there is another application method, which is the management of user-level data for individual users and within the enterprise.

We know that in the telecommunications data center, our storage devices and servers are dedicated devices, and there are very few systems that provide services for individual users.

As the number of individual users and PCs continues to increase, as the amount of data on personal PCs or work machines continues to increase, how to back up and protect data on personal computers has become a very important issue.

According to statistics, about 65% of users have no way to back up or recover data on their computers, and only 20% use simple backup methods such as burning CDs or using mobile hard drives. The remaining part is a small number of users who use professional backup software to back up data like servers.

So this kind of backup is: first, it takes a lot of effort and initial investment. Second, the effect is not good. It can only achieve backup, but cannot achieve disaster recovery of remote data. At the same time, this is also the situation of our existing backup, but in our actual use process, there is a great chance that personal data will be lost, such as human error, hardware failure, software virus, etc.

"Cloud storage" can solve some of the problems that individual users are currently facing with computer data loss. It is based on a networked method of centralized data management and backup. With the continuous updating of web2.0 technology and the increase in network, especially our personal Internet available bandwidth, we can use "cloud storage" to manage and monitor some important data in personal computers in a networked manner.

In this system, network access is achieved through "cloud storage". Whether in our company or on a business trip, we can access data in real time through the Internet or the company's internal private network. In addition, if data exists in our personal computers, it is all an isolated island of information. Through information storage, the important data of all personnel in the company can be managed in a unified manner.

I often hear leaders of R&D teams complain that a senior developer has left my unit, but he has a lot of unfinished work, or has already done work with a lot of important data that he is unwilling to hand over. Because his data is in a separate PC, he has to back it up personally or delete important data. This is a huge loss for both the company and the developer.

If we store all these important data in large-capacity equipment in the data center in the early stage and implement unified management, we can completely avoid such a situation.

There are also some applications. We have a case in which a large number of personnel in a research institute often travel on business. They are a design institute with a lot of important data. There have been many cases where designers lost their notebooks on business trips, and the important data in them were lost. If we have "cloud storage", all the data will be stored in the centralized storage, and only ordinary data will be stored in the personal notebooks. In this way, even if the mobile PC or computer is lost, the impact will be very small.

These are some of the functions of "cloud storage". In fact, it has more functions including massive capacity space management, arbitrary reading, we can access the stored data anywhere through the Internet, dynamic capacity expansion, unified management and automatic backup. We can perform full backup and incremental backup through backup methods. For some R&D personnel and some early design personnel, such as people who write plans, we often use different versions. "Cloud storage" can realize this version-based backup.

The core value of UIT storage is to use Wbbdisk software to create "cloud storage" services. This system is very simple, based on a storage platform, through data, through the wbe server for storage, the server and storage end automatically and flexibly expand the number and performance according to needs, can support multi-platform compatibility, the server end realizes cluster expansion and management. In terms of technology, it supports P2P transmission, especially when it comes to audio and video files, P2P can save bandwidth and facilitate the use of the system.

For some large enterprises with many internal work PCs, their configurations are basically the same. We can use data deduplication technology to completely back up hundreds or even thousands of servers with a very small capacity.

The security of data can also be ensured by data encryption. No one can access it through the server. Even if the data is obtained through some illegal means, it cannot be opened directly.

"Cloud storage" has three application modes for our data center. One application mode is that for large enterprise data centers, webDisk can be used to achieve centralized management and backup of all PCs or all personal data within the enterprise.

In addition, for some large telecom data centers or banking systems, cloud storage can provide different services for different types through WebDisk's large capacity, and realize centralized data storage and backup or remote management and sharing by purchasing space. Another way is for Internet applications. In some large website data centers, we can use WebDisk and "cloud storage" to establish online storage similar to network hard disk or online backup.

These three application methods are very simple to use for the client. They can be used through a browser, a Web virtual folder, or a software client to meet the needs of data upload, download, and online on-demand viewing. Centralized backup of core and important data can be achieved through the software client.
