Editor's note:
Currently, more and more industry enterprises are beginning to build private clouds to achieve resource integration and efficiency improvement. However, with the continuous development of customer business and more and more application systems, the scale of IT management is expanding, and the difficulty and cost of operation and maintenance are increasing. Unlike traditional private clouds that rely on the construction of complex monitoring management, inspection, log and other systems, supplemented by professional operation and maintenance personnel on-site operation and maintenance, the new generation of ejet cloud private cloud is based on kubernetes' microservice architecture and integration Design concept, with full platform upgrade capabilities, product evolution capabilities, product-based delivery of private cloud platforms, automated light operation and maintenance through a unified log, monitoring, and alarm platform, greatly reducing the complexity of operation and maintenance and IT Risks improve the efficiency of operation and maintenance.
Almost every year, many companies will optimize and build new programs for newly added businesses and the natural growth of existing businesses. As system investment increases, resource utilization is low. Both construction costs and operation and maintenance costs bring companies It is under tremendous pressure, and it is difficult to improve the flexibility of the cloud platform to provide resources for the upper layer dynamically on demand.
How to achieve on-demand expansion of cloud resources, smooth evolution, and avoid waste of IT resources, has become an issue that enterprises must consider.
Let the enterprise one-click expansion, easy to use the cloud
EasyStack ECS, a new generation private cloud of EasyStack, adopts the integrated and micro-service design of the cloud platform. Based on remote operation and maintenance, enterprise customers do not need to log in to the backend or enter the command line, and fully apply graphical and interface operations. It can realize the light operation and maintenance mode of "on-demand expansion and flexible expansion", and one-click automatic resource expansion, which can not only provide a light operation and maintenance experience similar to public cloud, but also meet the business needs of enterprise private cloud.
Different from the traditional private cloud, in order to meet the needs of customers in various aspects of capacity expansion, the new generation of ECS private cloud ECS has three core light operation and maintenance functions:
1. Node self-discovery, progress visualization, non-stop business
In the traditional private cloud expansion process, there are many work items with complex operation steps. Manually writing scripts and executing commands and other operations are inefficient, risky, and lack an audit mechanism.
Unlike other private clouds that require manual configuration of nodes and manual installation of the operating system during expansion, the ECS of Yijiexing Cloud's new generation of private cloud has the function of automatic node discovery, no manual installation and configuration are required during expansion, and automatic expansion pre-check is supported, and the expansion progress is real-time It is shown that the graphical display of expansion operations not only avoids platform failures caused by manual configuration errors, but also does not affect the normal operation of the business during the expansion process, supports high business stability and high performance requirements, and quickly completes the addition of cluster nodes.
In addition, traditional private cloud docking with third-party commercial storage usually requires logging in to the background to manually configure through complex command lines and scripts, which is inefficient, lacks standardization, and is error-prone; the new generation of ECS private cloud ECS adopts product delivery and docking With the ability of third-party storage, users can realize the docking with the help of the wizard-style operation of the entire software interface.

2. From single node to batch resources, intelligent resource scheduling
The new generation private cloud ECS of Yijiexing Cloud adopts an integrated product design concept. Through the overall architecture of the cloud platform and the collaboration between different components, data and applications are automatically deployed in accordance with established rules. The granularity of expansion can be achieved. Achieve single node expansion, and also realize batch one-time expansion of resources such as computing and storage. The cluster configuration can be completed automatically with one-click without any command operations throughout the process.
When the cluster is expanded, the system can automatically detect newly added nodes or hard disks, and start an intelligent resource scheduling mechanism. The built-in intelligent algorithms ensure that data and applications are evenly distributed among the nodes of the cluster, and ensure that the business system's data is not affected. Normal access ensures the stability of the system when the cluster expands horizontally.
One-click expansion of batch resources
3. Cloud-ready hyper-convergence out of the box, one-click expansion of cloud infrastructure
The new generation of hyper-converged products are beginning to be regarded as cloud infrastructure by the industry, and its flexible acquisition, on-demand expansion, and flexible application are also the main demands for IT resources at the business level. The ECS Stack is a cloud-ready hyper-converged ECS Stack which is the same as the ECS of ECS's new generation private cloud . Based on the industry's first fully symmetrical distributed microservice architecture, it provides an expansion API interface, which can automatically expand computing, storage, network, etc. on demand Cloud infrastructure , simple operation, graphical interface installation, full visualization of the expansion progress, greatly simplifies the complexity of configuration work, and users can use it out of the box and expand freely.

Resource application on demand, expansion on demand
Seamlessly connect with existing cloud platforms
An economic information agency is one of the domestic economic information service organizations with the largest scale, the widest service areas, and the most complete product categories. In order to fully serve the needs of rapid business development, achieve flexible and flexible management and independent operation of basic IT facilities resources, and improve the efficiency of hardware equipment use and application system deployment efficiency, the Economic Information Agency relies on the new generation of private cloud ECS of Yijiexing Cloud to build The financial and financial data cloud service management platform has successfully supported the stable operation of business systems such as financial information services and the construction of a social credit system.
Since 2016, the Economic Information Agency has initiated the construction of an international energy information service system project, striving to establish China's independent energy information collection and release platform. With the successive launch of sub-projects such as the energy industry data application platform subproject of the first phase of the system and the iterative development subproject of the international LNG shipping data platform, the existing system has been unable to support the rapid development of business needs, and it is urgent to expand the cloud platform. Provide a unified infrastructure resource pool for business systems, and provide one-stop application, customization, deployment, and open computing resources for each application system included in the project to meet the computing requirements of different processing types.
After receiving the customer's demand, Yijiexingyun quickly started the project expansion. Relying on the one-click expansion function provided by the platform, it successfully expanded dozens of computing nodes at an hourly level, meeting the needs of business expansion. At the same time, it realizes seamless connection with the existing private cloud platform, expands the existing private cloud nodes, and the server nodes smoothly join the economic information agency cloud platform without affecting the business, and realizes a unified architecture and unified management.
The biggest feature of cloud computing is that it has strong scalability, which can be expanded at any time to cope with changes in resources, allowing enterprises to focus more on the improvement of their core competitiveness and get rid of the trouble of maintaining IT underlying information technology. Different from traditional private clouds that are solidified, stable and isolated, ECS's new generation of private cloud ECS realizes the light operation and maintenance method of "on-demand expansion and elastic expansion". One-click automatic resource expansion can provide similar public ownership. The cloud-like light operation and maintenance experience can also meet the business needs of enterprise private clouds and provide customers with simple, easy-to-use, and elastically scalable operation and maintenance services.
