VMware vSphere虚拟基础架构在IDC的应用

Application of VMware vSphere Based Virtualization Platform for Internet Data Center (IDC)

IDC(信息数据中心)已经成为高校信息化发展和信息网络可持续发展的重要基石,IDC的发展也是高校网络信息化发展程度的重要参数.信息、数据量以及各种应用系统层出不穷,硬件设备不断增多,导致了IDC资源在需求与供给之间矛盾的产生和问题的加剧恶化,扩建、新建IDC成了解决问题的必然出路,但IDC建设的巨额投资也让人们在很多时候感到束手无策,该文以浙江树人大学IDC新的技术应用探索为例,分析新技术的发展,如虚拟化平台的提出,VMware vSphere与实际生产的紧密结合,使我们看到了新技术为IDC建设带来的重大效益.

Internet Data Center (IDC) has become the foundation of continuous and sustainable development of information technology and information network in higher education institutions. IDC also gives a good indication of the development state in network information technology. The increase of information, data, different application systems, and hardware designs results in serious shortage of IDC resources. Therefore, expanding the existing or building new IDC becomes the only solution. However, the required large capital investment can be a serious barrier. Based on a case study of IDC application in Zhejiang Shuren University, this paper analyzes the significant benefit brought by the emerging new technology, e.g., the VMware vSphere based virtualization platform, in the development of IDC.
