February 18, Ali cloud in the official website announced officially Heyuan data center to provide services. It is the largest in southern China scale green data center, which can accommodate more than 300,000 servers, can be used as a new area of the District of Shenzhen leading provider of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, networking and other services for millions of business customers in southern China.
It is reported that, Heyuan data center uses the industry's most advanced hardware equipment, and large-scale application Flying operating system, third-generation architecture Dragon, storage and other research since the dawn of cloud computing technology, can only delay the region's 40 other data centers % or so, can easily cope with the massive expansion of the financial needs of the enterprise level.
Among them, the Dragon architecture is aliyun a major breakthrough in the underlying hardware level, through virtualization technology from the research, the dragon cloud combines the advantages of both physical and virtual machines, users can get physical machine 100% of the computing power in the cloud, at present ECS has full support for the virtual machine, bare metal, container and other native cloud, than the previous generation and five times the performance in terms of IOPS, PPS and so on.
During the epidemic, for winning the key battles fighting the epidemic, millions of businesses open nearly 200 million people work from home mode. Faced with the sudden massive demand, Heyuan data center to support the continuous expansion of 100,000 nails cloud server within a few days, to help nail successfully withstood the huge traffic impact. Ali cloud-based elastic expansion capability, nails in just two hours added deployed more than 10,000 cloud servers, this figure also set a new record Ali cloud rapid expansion.
In addition, the data center also uses Evergreen Lake Heyuan deep lake water cooling, equipped with Ali cloud since the inquiry of the intelligence operation and maintenance system, IntelliSense environmental change, adjust the equipment power, let it run at the optimum level of energy consumption. These technologies allow Heyuan average annual PUE data center (Energy Efficiency Index) of less than 1.3, is one of the most energy efficient data centers in South China.
