Liu Quan: What Issues Should Be Considered in Enterprise Storage in the Era of Big Data

Disk backup devices have become mainstream data protection storage methods. Deduplication that can reduce redundant data in backup sets has become standard. However, a single form of disk backup storage product tends to be an "island," single point of failure cannot be avoided, and there are obvious limitations on performance and capacity expansion. In response to a common topic in this industry, on the afternoon of August 9th, Bit CIO Club hosted the theme salon series “Controlling Data Life Simple and Open Storage”.

Director Liu Quan from the Information Technology Research Center of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gave a speech on the topic of "Enterprise Storage Model in the Era of Big Data." He first introduced the definition and background of big data, and then explained the best international companies that currently make big data and data analysis. With the continuous production of data, it can be said that this increase is geometrically graded. This storage of these big data becomes a very important issue. Most CIOs of companies and companies will understand that companies' investment in IT is far lower than the demand for increased storage data. Therefore, cloud storage will become the most important way to solve the increase in data volume.

In the end, Dr. Liu provided us with a good method, that is, how companies can better adopt cloud storage services and what issues they should fully consider before adopting cloud storage services.

The concept of the first cloud First of all, we must pay attention to it. Regardless of whether or not our concept is a private cloud or a public cloud, we should say that for the cloud, the concept of the cloud itself should be a private cloud, because the cloud is not your own. It should be said that each type of cloud service in the cloud platform resides on a private platform. This means that as long as you purchase any cloud service, you will be bound by the vendor's restrictions on cloud storage. The same is true for the backup service area.

That is, when we use cloud storage, then we need to fully investigate this time, that is, to fully investigate some of the existing integration systems between the enterprise and the cloud platform, as well as his service model, etc. It is not very highly integrated with your own company. This is why you need to think clearly when choosing a cloud service.

Then the second is the data, that is, we must first back up the data in the backup copy of the third copy of the past, that is, we in the backup is nothing more than several ways, the first is directly under this system in their own The database and this platform directly have one such online, then this approach may not be too good. If the network is interrupted or some problems occur on the cloud platform, then the enterprise will be very passive in the future. With backup software, the backup software backs up something, which is to back up such data to this cloud platform, which will avoid some troubles.

Then the third must first understand clearly, see this enterprise's network bandwidth is not enough, then this bandwidth does not refer to the cloud service, because after all, this data volume and the platform and the enterprise system between the data volume exchange is very large, then the enterprise When choosing a cloud service or cloud storage, be sure to understand clearly whether the network bandwidth can support this cloud backup, or some of these updates from time to time, the requirements for this bandwidth should be very high.
