Since the emergence of the concept of private clouds because it can better solve the traditional IT architecture, IT processes, such as lack of flexibility, IT architecture difficult to support changing business environment, low efficiency of the delivery process difficult to respond to business needs and so many other issues in a timely manner, to obtain flourish, through private cloud and built on its business systems, companies can form an effective solution to the problem of flexibility and responsiveness, helping it break through the bottleneck of business development and enhance competitiveness.
The rapid development of the private cloud market
However, although the concept of private cloud appeared very early, but it has been more vague definition of the border, in 2017, the United States third party analysts Wikibon pioneered the concept of a true private cloud (Ture Privte Cloud, TPC), which redefined the private cloud . The so-called "real private cloud", and the difference between "traditional private cloud" is to integrate all aspects of the integrity of the product, including the cost, agility and breadth of services and so on. Equally important, the nature of the relationship between cloud providers a single point of purchase, support, or maintenance and upgrades. The real key benefit is a private cloud, at the request of business, security and latency, providing a cost and agility closer to deploy public cloud solutions within the environment. According to this definition, Wikibon forecast private cloud (True Private Cloud) in the future will achieve more rapid growth in 2026 will reach $ 230 billion size of the market.
When, however, although Wikibon according to forecasts, the development of private clouds (True Private Cloud) far more than expected, but in fact, in Wikibon that "real private cloud" concept, can truly be successful "true private cloud" project is not many, one of the reasons, the most important thing is not a perfect match and be able to prop up the "true private cloud" concept of private cloud platform. The use of these solutions are hard to piece together the so-called private cloud platform nature can not satisfy the "true private cloud" demand, it is inevitable failure of the project. The failure of these projects are a direct result of the industry to the private cloud market prospects look bad, "private cloud die" argument hustle and bustle of dust. And with EasyStack represented by start-ups launched private cloud solutions well supported the concept of "true private cloud", so as to promote the rapid development of the private cloud market. But with the further development of the private cloud market, it has begun to private cloud behind the development of the market in the past seemingly advanced traditional private cloud solutions.
Shortcomings of traditional private cloud platform
Easy Clouds EasyStack CEO Chen Xilun that the traditional private cloud solutions in the order of time can actually be divided into the second generation.
The first generation of private cloud solutions produced in 2008-2014 years, this generation of proprietary solutions to virtualization and cloud computing IaaS tube acts as a plane as the main feature, to provide users with basic private cloud services. However, just because the first generation of private cloud to cloud IaaS tube acts as a platform, not an IaaS its essence, therefore, no software-defined storage, no software-defined network, but there is no way such as Amazon Elastic application development. Plus it does not complete the PaaS layer, the so-called PaaS just Oracle applications on top of a virtual machine, so the service can provide extremely limited.
The second generation of private cloud solutions produced in 2015-2018 years private cloud generation characteristics solution is a complete IaaS control plane, comprising computing virtualization, storage virtualization, network virtualization. Also it has a responsibility for the resource management and scheduling unified cloud management platform that can effectively manage resources. But it's PaaS layer is still fragmented, whether it is big data, database and other services, are put together in the above, can not be developed. But the biggest drawbacks of the second generation of private cloud solutions is not seamless system upgrade, which makes Whenever there is a new system upgrade, users must be forced to migrate or upgrade downtime, which actually means a lot of the cost of consumption. In addition, private cloud various versions of the software user maintenance caused by the fragmented management of private cloud vendors to actually presented a huge challenge.
Therefore, in such cases, private cloud market in order to achieve faster development, it is a great need for a new solution to support private cloud, a private cloud platform, which makes the new generation ready to come out.
Came into being a new generation of private cloud
With traditional private cloud customization, different fragmentation, a new generation of private cloud mainstream forms to complex environments and data needs of enterprise customers within the industry as a firewall designed to build customer-centric data, with the ability of private management cloudy cloud. It has a wider range of ecological compatibility of hardware and software, taking into account a new generation of enterprise applications and legacy applications, while the most important thing is, it must have to deal with in the business complex environment can evolve characteristics , but also to provide public cloud like consumer experience, which is a new generation of private cloud core features .
Chen Xilun put this new generation of private cloud is defined as "private cloud deployment." Chenxi Lun believes that the relative expression of private and public cloud to cloud-centric, private cloud deployment and deployment to better reflect the public to "move to the cloud data on" customer demand as the core of the dominant model, that data needs to be inside the firewall private cloud deployment, data outside the firewall need public cloud deployments. On the other hand, split the relative expression of private and public cloud, private cloud deployment and public cloud deployment to better reflect the consistency of experience.
Chenxi Lun also describes a new generation of private cloud should have features:
First, on the application service layer, a new generation of private cloud should be capable of carrying Cloud, Mobile, IoT, BigData, AI and other next-generation enterprise applications.
Second, the PaaS experience, based on open source PaaS-based eco-by Kubernetes building across public cloud / private cloud PaaS can be shared, so that a new generation of private cloud support richer applications; on the other hand, business customers We can develop new PaaS in the cloud according to their needs, and applies to a specific scene for the industry;
Third, in the implementation of IaaS, through micro-services and integrated design platform cloud, private cloud can bring a new generation of public cloud-like consumer experience for business users, not only from the delivery, operation and maintenance, upgrades can be achieved "turnkey", but also makes the new generation of private cloud cloud services model pay-realized, to enter the era of cloud service software from the cloud era.
Fourth, on the path of evolution, ecological products based on open source technology is a new generation of private cloud evolution of best practices. A new generation of private cloud while maintaining a high degree of product and eco-compatible and open source under the premise of synchronization, fully synchronized with one hand to keep the community, on the other hand to meet customer needs through scenes of ecological cooperation, which is a complex environment with scenes alternative inevitable move of customization, but also rich ecological PaaS only way.
Fifth, in the way of evolution, evolution is a new generation core can be the driving force of the evolution of the private cloud, a private cloud is a new generation of core features. By decoupling hardware and software, implement software evolution, hardware replacement can truly release the long-term value of cloud platforms, game-changing industry.
New ECS, a new generation of private cloud model
It is based on the concept of such a "new generation of private cloud platform", the line goes EasyStack Express recently launched a new version of the ECS, the "product form can evolve, cloud service capabilities can evolve, evolution can support the scene," the three dimensions, for business users to create a private cloud model called next-generation solutions.
Easy Clouds EasyStack new generation private clouds ECS uses micro enterprise cloud services cloud platform design. Based ROMS, corporate customers do not need to log in the background, without entering the command line, graphical interface of the application is fully operational, it is possible to achieve a private cloud deployment, operation and maintenance and minimalist experience guarantee high availability. By micro-services orchestration engine, a rolling upgrade engine, real-time diversion engine load, engine service monitoring and self-healing technology module implements IaaS SaaS technology, making no sense of a new generation of smooth continuous evolution of the private cloud and public cloud like consumer experiences possible.
In addition, Express line goes EasyStack a new generation of enterprise cloud private cloud ECS also features an integrated design cloud platform. Through the integration and synergy between the different components and the overall architecture of the cloud platform, on the one hand the large-scale distributed architecture, user mode, kernel architecture and protocol stacks and hardware complete deconstruction, so that it has a height in the whole life cycle division of labor and coordination, and can be fully automated delivery in the state of human intervention. On the other hand, integrated design platform can also be implemented throughout the event, with a high degree of unity and collaboration between API, services, components, so that a new generation of private cloud capabilities scene a matter of course, through the integration of third-party commercial products or open source ecosystem rich PaaS capabilities also get to share with the public cloud in the cloudy world of PaaS applications.
In the new generation of enterprise cloud ECS, we have seen Chen Xilun can always stressed the evolution of this new generation of core characteristics reflect proprietary platform in which: no sense of smooth upgrade. No sense of smooth upgrade consists of three elements: business no perception, no data migration service is not interrupted. This means that it contains not only upgrade cloud platform for business process has no effect, but also affected its operations on the cloud platform in the cloud platform upgrade process, it is like a new energy vehicles can still be normal driving at the same time upgrade the system , iPhone still can call and operate the same as in the APP iOS upgrade process.
Overall, we ECS a new generation of enterprise cloud to help companies achieve sustained evolution of the cloud, enabling continuous business innovation, but also to protect the private cloud user TCO, allowing users to continue to acquire new cloud capabilities, but also allows companies from the heavy transport maintenance work to get out, more focused business innovation. More importantly, the line goes EasyStack Express released a new generation of enterprise cloud private cloud ECS, maybe will set off a new wave of private cloud evolution in the cloud computing market! To lead the private cloud market sustained, rapid and healthy development forward, also will bring a more stable, reliable and flexible private cloud environment for business users.
