How should heating enterprises choose between self built machine rooms or cloud hosting?

Heating enterprises belong to traditional industries. Many enterprises belong to traditional industries. I know little about IT in this field. After all, this line is like a mountain. For heating enterprises, to realize their own information solutions, the first thing to consider is the construction of network and hardware platform. Do you want to build your own hardware platform or rent a third-party cloud platform? Faced with such a choice, enterprises often feel puzzled.

Advantages of ECS hosting

1. The server hosting cost is low. Compared with the dedicated line, the server hosting cost is low. The overall operating cost is greatly reduced. It can save the high cost of special lines and network equipment. Exempt self built machine room, save daily maintenance costs such as site, power, air conditioning and machine room management, and save leased lines;

2. Strong stability. The computer room provides 365 day full day operation services. Professional technicians are responsible for maintaining the network, effectively ensuring network stability, high-speed, wireless congestion, and good flexibility. Users can start business quickly to host network equipment for easy expansion;

3. Firewall has high security and structural reliability. 7 × 24 hours × 365 day surveillance and detection of network attacks. Monitor the operation of backbone network and equipment;

4. The computer room has superior environment, large scale and large capacity. It has multiple high-speed optical fiber networks or double line networks, such as China Education Network, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Railcom, to realize north-south interconnection. High stability, fast speed, large bandwidth, and network smoothness of 99.9. The continuous supply of power ensures the 24-hour operation of two lines of mains power, UPS generators, standard facilities, and the special air-conditioning system in the machine room. The network bandwidth is stable, constant temperature, dust-proof, fireproof, moisture-proof, and good working environment, such as anti-static.

Advantages of own computer room

The advantages of self built computer rooms of enterprises are that the computer rooms are easy to manage, free to use, free to call their own server resources, unlimited, and convenient for emergency calls, such as server failure in ordinary times. The configuration can be restarted and maintained quickly, and servers or network devices can enter the computer rooms at any time for maintenance. By observing various indicators on the hardware device, you can intuitively know whether the device has faults or other alarms.

Enterprise self built machine rooms can also flexibly change the network topology, creating tens of thousands of levels of concurrency; In addition, the self built computer room ensures data security to a greater extent. In addition, professional maintenance and regular inspection of equipment in the machine room make the equipment in the machine room more reliable.

conclusion

Through the introduction and comparison of the above two schemes, we believe that you have a clearer understanding of self built machine rooms and cloud hosting. I also summarized several conclusions for reference:

1. It is recommended that start-up small and medium-sized heating enterprises choose cloud hosting;

According to my experience, the initial heating enterprises have many things, such as production, pipe network construction, area measurement, government documents, and the construction of commercial networks. At this time, it may be more difficult to build a decent computer room, so the worrisome way is to directly choose the cloud hosting plan and wait for the future energy to plan the construction of the computer room.

2. For enterprises without professional network administrators, cloud hosting is recommended;

I mentioned the advantages of self built computer rooms above, but only if there is a professional network administrator. If the enterprise does not have a special manager in this area, the management and maintenance of the self built machine room will become a disaster, and as time goes by, the old equipment accidents will occur frequently, and the safety of the data cannot be talked about.

3. More application platforms. If there are many servers, it is recommended to build a machine room by yourself;

The development of modern enterprises is inseparable from network informatization. Many enterprises have a high degree of internal platformization, including not only the heating charging platform, but also the production scheduling platform, customer service and maintenance platform, heat exchange station monitoring, remote data transmission, heat network monitoring, financial system, OA office system, etc. Some platforms need to be operated in the LAN or dedicated line network, so it is reasonable to establish their own computer rooms at this time.

4. Self built machine rooms are available for those with high requirements for data security;

The internal data of each enterprise is very important, as is the data of heating enterprises, because it involves a large number of heating users. Although domestic professional cloud service providers have an impact on data security and do a good job of confidentiality, enterprises with high requirements for data security still feel inappropriate, because this is not heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know, but the other one knows (cloud service providers). However, it should be noted that if the enterprise does not do enough in the security of the computer room, the data will be placed on the ECS.

5. If there are budget requirements, cloud hosting is recommended;

The internal construction of enterprises cannot be separated from financial support, and information construction is no exception. If the enterprise's budget for information construction is not high, it is recommended to choose cloud hosting, because the cost of the computer room is much higher than that of cloud hosting, including the site and hardware. As far as I know, the enterprise needs 1000-2000 yuan to pull a special line every month, and the enterprise level firewall needs at least 10000 yuan, so cloud server hosting has advantages in budget.
