Beijing, March 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The traditional IT architecture model has seriously hindered the pace of Jiannan University's smart campus construction, low resource utilization, long failure recovery time, and high operation and maintenance costs. To this end, Inspur proposed a virtualization solution based on Inspur blade server system I9000, which helped Central South University to increase hardware utilization by 70% and reduce the recovery time from 4 hours to a few minutes, greatly simplifying operation and maintenance costs.

The informatization process of Chinese universities has gone through more than 20 years. It has gone through two major stages of construction of campus network and digital campus, and has now entered the stage of building a smart campus. Along with the advancement of the national "Internet +" action plan, the concept and model of university information construction are also undergoing profound changes. The informationization construction will realize the all-round business support and management reform of the university, and help the university to build and maintain its core competitiveness.

To achieve this goal, the informatization construction of colleges and universities must be driven by demand, connect internal and external resources and services, and carry out system reconstruction instead of partial upgrading. At present, most colleges and universities have already prepared for transformation, and the transformation of university informationization construction mode in the era of "Internet +" is imminent.

Central South University is located in Changsha City, Hunan Province. It is a deputy ministerial university directly under the Central Government and the Ministry of Education. It is a national key university. It is the first batch of “Double-Class”, “211 Project” and “985 Project” to build a university, “111 Plan”. The “2011 Plan” was selected into the university, and it was the first batch of “Excellent Engineer Education Training Plan”, “Excellent Doctor Education Training Plan” and “Excellent Legal Talent Education Training Plan”. On the road of information construction, Central South University has taken the lead.

Traditional IT architecture hinders smart campus construction

The software and hardware resources in the computerized data center of Central South University are very rich, but the data center based on the traditional IT architecture mode also exposes some problems during use. For example, the traditional IT model uses a minimum split unit per server, or each application is a split unit, or each user is a split unit. A considerable number of servers only run small-scale B/S or C/S-based applications, such as OA office systems, websites, and other basic service types. In this application allocation mode, resources cannot be effectively integrated, and resources are wasted. Serious, management is inefficient.

In the event of a failure, it takes several hours for the operation and maintenance personnel to locate the server, including backing up data, replacing hardware, reinstalling the operating system, reinstalling the application software, re-importing the previously backed up data, and doing various security. Reinforcement. The failure recovery under the traditional IT architecture, which affects the emergency processing time, is not the operation level of the operation and maintenance technicians, but is determined by the inherent characteristics of the IT infrastructure under the traditional application mode. A complete replacement of the hardware to re-launch, the recovery process is generally about 4 hours.

In addition, under the traditional IT architecture, the high operating cost is usually not the labor cost of the operation and maintenance personnel, but the large amount of power consumed by the server, air conditioning and refrigeration, etc. The larger the number of servers, the more idle, the operation and maintenance. The higher the cost.

Choosing virtualization to break the limitations of traditional architecture

Faced with the limitations and disadvantages of traditional IT architecture, how to change the traditional chimney IT architecture without changing the existing application architecture, how to deploy higher density computing nodes in a limited computer room environment, How to reduce the overall power consumption and operation and maintenance cost of the equipment room... It has become an urgent problem to be solved in the information center of Central South University.

In response to these questions raised by the Information Center of Central South University, Inspur proposed a virtualization solution based on the Inspur I9000 blade system. The Inspur Fusion Architecture blade system I9000 is used as the physical server for virtualized applications. Each blade virtualizes multiple virtualized environments. , make full use of idle resources to achieve on-demand deployment.

Inspur I9000 blade server system is the second generation of converged architecture products launched by Inspur to meet the needs of enterprise-level customers for key business, storage applications and new applications. It supports 2-way blade stacking to 4/8-way, and 4-way blade node supports up to 12TB. Memory, can build Scale-up architecture and have the ultimate in memory computing capacity, memory capacity and performance is 2-3 times that of similar products, fully support NVME storage acceleration solution to meet the ultimate demand for key business IO throughput, while four-way blade can Smoothly upgrade to an eight-way blade node to maximize customer protection and ensure smooth upgrade of key services. In terms of scalability, I9000 has the industry's only post-IO expansion module, which can support up to 16 standard PCIE devices for different applications. The expansion needs.

Simplify operation and maintenance, and flexibly expand data centers more efficiently

Inspur's solution helps Central South University achieve end-to-end management. The operation and maintenance personnel can understand the hardware layout through the web interface, view the status of the system and its components, and gain insight into the hardware information at any time. At the same time, the management module integrates BMC and KVM over IP, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can know the status of the whole system as long as they can log in to the Internet, and can configure the system, allocate storage pools and virtual disks, and faulty devices. Switching, power switch and server restart, system and data backup, and so on, almost all operations except hardware, greatly simplify operation and maintenance management.

Based on the combination of I9000 blade server system and virtualization, the IT system of Central South University can easily switch the application hosted by the faulty server to another server in a few minutes. At the same time, the system snapshot function and centralized backup can easily achieve fast file preparation, further ensuring the reliability of key data. I9000's 3+3 power redundancy, hard disk advanced RAID, server redundancy, virtualization and other multiple security measures can ensure stable operation of the system.

With a hardware and software platform that supports 64-bit memory expansion technology, each blade can provide multiple virtualized environments (compatible with 32-bit applications), and can be switched between X32 and X64-bit operating systems as needed, without hardware replacement. In addition, the I9000 blade provides a high-performance eight-way blade server extension that provides high-performance computing for Central South University.

The successful deployment of the I9000 blade server virtualization solution provided by Inspur helped the Central South University Information Center's hardware system utilization increase by 70%, and achieved higher computing power with fewer blade servers, which not only saved equipment and reduced The need for power consumption and increased thermal efficiency also greatly reduces server support and maintenance costs. With virtualization solutions, O&M personnel can easily implement real-time server configuration, reduce downtime, dynamically provision resources, and migrate applications to different hardware platforms without reinstalling.
