The increasing popularity of cloud computing, the rise of big data, the advent of 5G era, and the application of artificial intelligence in various fields are all driving the transformation of the data center industry. Today, the importance of data centers in the network is constantly on the rise, and the scale of the data center industry is increasing. Expanding. With the trend of fully clouded networks, data centers are moving towards software definition, openness, modularization, and green energy conservation. There is a view that, driven by market demand, the development of data centers in the next ten years will enter into 'gold'. Period', the data center's technological changes will be fully accelerated.
Compared to the 4G era that has made the mobile Internet more prosperous than ever before, the coming 5G era will expand the connection between people and people to the connection between things and things, thus opening the intelligent age of the Internet of Things. This change in connectivity will inevitably affect future data. The center's changes, the future data center must be 5G Ready. Correspondingly, facing the 5G evolution of the cloud data center, it becomes an inevitable direction of development. Just as Huawei Cloud BU president Zheng Yelai accepted the “People” during the 2018 Mobile World Congress. According to an interview with the Posts and Telecommunications reporter, 'The changes brought about by the application and application environment brought by '5G will inevitably bring about a change from the back-end data center to the entire cloud model'. Then, in the 5G era, where will the cloud data center go? What has Huawei entered the 'no-man's area' in the data center field? The answer given is through architecture, platform, and hardware innovations to help operators accelerate cloud computing and realize commercial success.
For the 5G era
Carrier multi-path achieves full cloudization
Currently, the cloud computing process of telecom operators is accelerating. Its driving force lies not only in the imminent arrival of the 5G era, but also in the deepening of the digital transformation of the telecom industry and the commercial drive from the cloud services, video, IoT and other fields.
In the process of becoming fully-clouded, due to the internal complex organization and processes, it is difficult for large-scale operators to achieve full cloudization. Then, how does the path to full cloudization go? Huawei believes that it is usually based on organizations. The status quo, according to IT (CIO), CT (CTO), B2B (CMO) three paths, the implementation of multi-path evolution, from the 'cloudy' eventually to 'a cloud'.
Huawei Cloud Data Center will play an important role in boosting the full cloud of operators. It can enable the internal IT cloud of operators, cloudize application platforms (for 2B2C application platforms), cloud the telecommunications network, and eventually move toward full cloud computing. Cloudize, and achieve commercial innovation.
Huawei Cloud Data Center
Boost operators' full cloud process
'In the future era of 5G IoE, the network's 'bottleneck' will be the background, and the entire data center architecture will change. The data center must be fully clouded and resilient, modularized, service oriented, and isomerized. He Chihua. “ Zheng Yelai told the reporter of the “People's Posts and Telecommunications” newspaper. In fact, building a future-oriented cloud data center is the overall concept of Huawei leading the data center and guiding Huawei’s data center products and solutions. Innovative practice.
Huawei Cloud Data Center provides comprehensive support to promote cloud computing and help customers expand the broad market space. Huawei's vice president of IT product line Huang Wei introduced Huawei Cloud Data Center to the “People's Posts and Telecommunications” reporter. The three major features are 'Leading Hardware Enablement Ultimate Experience, Intelligent Platform Enabled Enterprise Intelligence and Fusion Architecture Enabling a Cloud'.
In the 5G era of IoE, experience is related to the success or failure of business. Huawei Cloud Data Center is committed to using leading hardware to enable the ultimate experience. Huawei's MWC2018 is represented by Dorodo18000 V3, a high-end intelligent all-flash storage for key heavy-duty services. Leading hardware provides hardware guarantee for the realization of the ultimate experience in the 5G era. Operators want to provide a better service experience under new challenges, and data storage management is intuitively important. To this end, Huawei has pioneered the introduction of native high-end all-flash memory in the industry. The product not only provides ultra-high performance (7 million IOPS, 0.5 ms delay), but also uses a unique lossless network technology innovation and self-developed dedicated chip to help realize the 'fast and steady' front-end business. Publish on MWC2018 The high-end smart all-flash storage system Dorado18000, said: 'Dorado18000 V3 can perfectly host the key services of operators and provide a fast and stable data experience. Huawei's storage continues to break through boundaries, and is committed to building a comprehensive flash memory and full clouding. Complete and intelligent data storage era. '
'Intelligent platform, it is very important to enable enterprise intelligence.' Huang Hao pointed out. Artificial intelligence will gradually realize customer relationship management in the telecommunications industry and intelligent network operation and maintenance. To this end, Huawei has built a self-developed high-performance algorithm and a dedicated self-developed chip. The intelligent big data platform FusionInsight and the heterogeneous computing platform Atlas drive the value-added of the operator's new business. The intelligent platform not only has the edge computing capability but also has the intelligent analysis capability, and can achieve the second-level analysis capability of one hundred billion pictures.
For carriers, from 'cloudy' to 'one cloud', it is inseparable from the converged architecture. As Huang Xi said, the converged architecture enables 'a cloud', allowing operators to implement a unified architecture supporting multiple Business, including internal IT services, traditional telecommunication services, and innovative applications.
It is worth noting that in the face of new service features in the 5G era, Huawei provides a differentiated FusionCloud solution to support the commercial success of operators. New applications for new services in the 5G era will emerge in a diversified manner. Huawei Edge Cloud Solution Realize the rapid response of scenarios such as mass-vehicle networking and mass terminal access. In response to the surging characteristics of the original cloud business in the 5G era, Huawei's hybrid cloud solution enables flexible deployment and unified management of cross-cloud services, accelerates the convergence of cloud architectures, and is highly efficient and consistent. The cloud operation experience. Among them, Huawei believes that NFVI must have the ability to be open and decoupled in order to cloudize NFVIs in telecom networks. However, it needs to consider the balance between decoupling cost and deployment efficiency and operation and maintenance costs to avoid excessive decoupling. The integration costs and technical risks brought and the resulting business losses.
In summary, the operator's future data center will inevitably be geared to the cloud data center in the 5G era. Huawei will act as a 'same traveler' on the road to full cloud of operators to accelerate this process. Zheng Yelai stated that Huawei is 'Technology, future and trustworthy' partners, this is Huawei's confidence in customers. It is particularly worth noting that the basis of 'trustworthy' is exactly the principle of 'Three Noes' adhered to by Huawei Cloud, ie The data will not touch the application, and no equity investment will be made in the middle. Because of this, the future of Huawei Cloud is worth the industry's expectation.
