Accelerating the modernization of education and providing education that satisfies the people are important missions assigned to education in the new era, and have become the direction of education reform and development. Relying on complete storage software and hardware integrated solutions and high-quality comprehensive service capabilities, Inspur Information has always been committed to serving China's education informatization construction, building a multi-in-one smart education from the two levels of industry-teaching-research integration and smart campus. The "Industry-Education Integration Ecosystem" promotes new technologies, new thinking, and new paradigms in the field of education informatization.
The informatization construction of the university industry puts forward new requirements for the construction of storage systems
First, high performance and high bandwidth .
University scientific research projects are high-IO applications for cluster users, which place high demands on the access volume and performance of the storage system. Therefore, the storage needs to meet the simultaneous access of multiple platforms and services and the concurrent execution of computing jobs. The extremely high concurrent data access rate makes the storage system face the challenge of high concurrency, high bandwidth, and low latency performance requirements.
Second, large capacity and elastic expansion.
Due to the large scale of storage clusters, higher precision and larger scale business requirements have caused the amount of computing data to increase exponentially. The sampling data of various services has rapidly increased from the GB level to the TB level, and a large number of intermediate results and checkpoint data continuously generated during the calculation process have reached the PB level. This makes it difficult for traditional computing and storage integrated deployment platform solutions to effectively support multiple types of applications. Storage systems with high density, large capacity, and scalability have become the preferred choice for information construction in universities.
Third, multi-protocol intelligent converged storage.
University scientific research platform data has the characteristics of large scale, wide sources, diversity, high complexity and unstructured features. As a data base, the storage system needs to flexibly configure blocks, files, objects, and big data services according to user needs, without being subject to application restrictions, and eliminating storage islands.
Finally, humanized management, operation and maintenance deployment
A good human-computer interaction interface can bring an efficient and convenient maintenance experience. For global storage systems, it is necessary to have the capabilities of unified management and intelligent sensing of storage, switches, servers, etc. within the platform to help large-scale storage clusters break through in management, resource integration, etc. bottlenecks, greatly reducing operation and maintenance pressure; in addition, it is also necessary to have the ability to intelligently predict and analyze the capacity, performance, faults, and lifespan of the storage system.
Inspur information storage solutions help universities informatize
For university application systems, Inspur Information has launched a storage construction solution that decouples storage and computing, decouples cloud storage, hierarchical storage, and unified management.
University smart campus platform storage solution
Storage and computing decoupling: In big data applications, storage resources and computing resources are deployed separately, so that computing and storage can be expanded independently according to actual business needs, making data migration more convenient; computing resources are placed close to hot data to achieve Better overall system performance.
Cloud storage decoupling: In cloud computing applications, professional storage equipment is deployed to build a storage base for the cloud platform, reducing the risks of later maintenance, business adjustment, capacity expansion and disaster recovery construction; while giving full play to the high performance, high reliability, high security, and High compatibility, providing professional solutions.
Hierarchical storage: In artificial intelligence and high-performance applications, the parallel file storage AS13000-H all-flash high-performance pool + hybrid flash large-capacity pool hierarchical storage solution is used to store data in different types of storage devices (solid-state disks, mechanical disks) , data migration between different storage devices is realized through hierarchical storage management software.
Unified management: InView intelligent unified operation and maintenance management platform is used to realize intelligent operations such as automated deployment of storage platforms, status monitoring, capacity prediction, performance optimization, remote inspection, fault diagnosis, hard disk failure prediction, asset management, etc., and solve large-scale problems. IT system operation and maintenance problems, improve operation and maintenance efficiency, ensure data reliability and availability; reduce operation and maintenance costs, optimize user experience, ensure business continuity, and provide customers with integrated intelligent operation and maintenance solutions.
