— Another powerful tool for enterprise users, Ali Cloud releases a proprietary host to easily build a proprietary resource pool on the public cloud
Recently, Ali Cloud released an online public test on a private host. Users can monopolize physical server resources to meet demands such as security compliance and performance isolation, and help enterprise users easily build a private resource pool on a public cloud. There will be more options for enterprise users to migrate to the cloud. By creating an ECS cloud server on a dedicated host, users can not only be physically isolated from other tenants to ensure the performance stability of the single-tenant environment, but also have all the functions and advantages of Ali Cloud virtualization management and control.
In recent years, cloud computing has become a trend. Not only individual users and start-up companies choose to build their own infrastructure on the cloud, but also more and more enterprise users start to choose the cloud platform to build their own systems. From the migration of the test system to the construction of the production system, from carrying only marginal business at the beginning to continuously applied to the core business, cloud computing began to bear more and more business volume. Cloud computing is characterized by flexibility, flexibility and scalability. However, with the increase of service complexity and the diversification of scenarios, automatic scheduling, the most characteristic and advantage of public cloud, is not fully applicable to some scenarios.
Meet higher security compliance requirements: financial industry, government and enterprise business
For financial industry, government and enterprise business, as the industry is highly sensitive to business security, regulators have stricter requirements on the security and compliance of cloud business.
“Can’t my virtual machine be deployed on the same host? On the other hand, my virtual machine can’t ensure deployment to different hosts?” A financial customer asked when discussing cloud solutions.
Conventional ECS cloud servers are based on automatic scheduling, shielding users from the complexity of the physical environment. In contrast, the proprietary host provides a product form that is more similar to the traditional IDC room. Users have complete visibility and control over the properties of physical servers and the corresponding relationship between physical servers and virtual machines. In addition, the single-tenant environment built in the cloud cloud’s dedicated resource pool allows users to have exclusive CPU, memory, and network resources, meeting higher-level security compliance requirements.
Lower cloud cost: bring your own commercial software to the cloud
Because of the way commercial software licenses are based on physical hardware licenses, compliance does not support flexible scheduling cloud scenarios. Re-use of software licenses after moving to the cloud is associated with business cloud costs.
Enterprise users who build their own computer rooms or host services in traditional computer rooms more or less have some commercial software, such as Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle and so on. Many licensing methods for on-premise software are based on the number of physical cores, slots, or other physical attributes. For a normal cloud environment, reusing licenses purchased by these enterprises would have compliance issues due to the uncertainty and invisibility of the physical properties, but since the physical properties of proprietary hosts are visible, enterprises can determine whether their current license authorization covers the cloud environment. It can help enterprises effectively save cloud costs.
Providing stronger single-machine performance: Optimized solutions for high-performance scenarios
For some services with high performance requirements, such as big data computing and massively multiplayer online games, cloud servers often have higher requirements on storage performance or network performance.
The proprietary host provides the possibility to customize host attributes for different scenarios. Users can obtain the ultimate performance indicators different from those of multi-tenant hosts. The storage performance can be customized to support one million IOPS. For network customization, the performance of the current cloud server can be improved exponentially.
Flexible scheduling capability: Solve the problem of adjusting and deploying physical exclusive products
For some physical exclusive products currently on the market, its means of creating more like the virtual machine lock on a single physical server, and the cloud is a core advantage of deployment flexibility and elasticity, if created a cloud server on the host can’t adjust again after deployment, the overall business relocation costs become very high.
To provide flexibility to adjust deployment, Ali Cloud provides the option to migrate ECS instances from multi-tenant environments to private hosts, as well as to migrate ECS instances from one private host to another. The flexibility of deployment allows users to have more deployment choices and optimize the current deployment scheme as services change.
The above features of proprietary host products are to solve the pain points encountered by enterprise customers in cloud deployment, and provide a new choice for enterprise customers to design cloud solutions. At present, Ali Cloud not only provides a number of enterprise-class ECS instance specifications, but also successively launched ECS elastic bare metal instance (Dragon server) and proprietary host machine and other physical exclusive product forms for users to choose. Whether you want to deploy nested virtualization or choose virtual hosting, users can choose a suitable cloud solution according to their own business scenarios.
