Class 1: Introduction to ECS of Alibaba Cloud Server
1. The dilemma of using traditional servers
1. Spend large prices on hardware servers
2. Long purchase cycle
3. Idle resources with extremely high waste rate
4. Constantly increasing human investment in basic system maintenance
2. 6 reasons to use Alibaba Cloud server to replace traditional servers
(1) Solve the problems faced by traditional servers
There is no need to purchase expensive hardware facilities in advance, but to purchase corresponding ECS cloud services on demand according to the enterprise application environment.
(2) A powerful basic platform
Relying on the artificial intelligence acceleration platform, super performance, and super cost-effectiveness have become an indispensable service for almost all users to go to the cloud. Today, countless large enterprises, including Alibaba.
(3) Flexible configuration
ECS covers more than 50 operating systems on the market. Whether it is the open source LAMP portfolio or the Windows platform, there is always one that can provide stable technical services for your applications.
(4) Provide diverse scene-based services
Taking into account the needs of the scene, the instance specifications of ECS are also becoming more and more perfect. Performance optimization is performed for 21 business scenarios, from traditional X86 computing to the hottest GPU and FPGA-based heterogeneous computing, from general-purpose, computing, and memory , Local SSD type, network-enhanced type, or even enterprise-level Oracle database requires a large-scale exclusive physical machine. You can choose from hundreds of specifications. It is simple to purchase and easy to operate. It only takes a few minutes to complete the deployment of the cloud server. Flexible configuration and lifting on demand, when not needed, resources can be released to save money
(5) Stable and reliable
At the physical level—have a super-A-level data center through the introduction of dual-channel independent mains power, three-channel network introduction, N+1 diesel generator backup power supply, historical operating availability 99.9999%
application level—Alibaba Cloud ECS, especially enterprise-level ECS, The stability and reliability are beyond your imagination. First of all, ECS will back up each piece of data multiple times at the bottom layer. If a single piece of data is damaged, it can be restored by itself in the shortest time to ensure data security. ECS black technology automated operation and maintenance can also automatically migrate data to other physical machines and restore the data to the last state before the failure. This function has been tested on the "Double Eleven" online many times.
Network security level-you can enjoy the world's top cloud shield security protection, which effectively prevents network attacks that traditional IDC cannot defend, and allows your business to run safely in the cloud. More than that, Alibaba Cloud will continue to improve in accordance with the industry's highest information security standards and best practices, and continue to improve information security management and technical systems.
(6) Unified Linking Platform for Enterprise Resources
ECS is not limited to basic cloud services. With the blessing of cloud computing, it connects enterprise database, storage, computing and other resources at the bottom layer, helping companies connect to resource islands, application islands, data islands, and the overall situation formed under the traditional IT chimney architecture. Quickly obtain market insights to provide a strong guarantee for the decision-making and development of enterprises.
Three, summary
Compared with traditional servers, Alibaba Cloud ECS has not only server resources, but also a high-quality service.
Currently, Alibaba Cloud ECS provides services to more than one million customers around the world, transforming enterprises into agile and intelligent-driven organizations.
