Shulou(Shulou.com)06/01 Report--

In the past few days, we have come across some evil moths from soon-to-be-settled customers, and suddenly asked us to provide a version of Azure and IDC computer room comparison, and then did some arrangement, as follows:

Basic comparison between Azure and IDC

IDC deployment Microsoft Azure deployment

Users are required to purchase or lease physical machines for a long time.

-fixed IT resource input, unable to flexibly change IT resource size as needed

-unable to pay on demand according to usage, it is a fixed fee

At the same time, it provides IaaS services based on virtual machine hosting and PaaS platform supporting new cloud computing application development and deployment.

-users can dynamically resize actual IT resources

-users pay based on actual IT resource usage

Enterprise service platform with very limited service guarantee

SLA without financial guarantee, SLA without computing, storage and other services that users really care about.

Enterprise cloud platform

Enterprise-ready cloud service platform, service level assurance agreement (SLA) that provides financial assurance and corresponding enterprise service support

Various computer rooms of different standards, software and hardware require user investment.

All hardware and software investment requires users, no LoadBalance, firewall, anti-DDOS*** system

High standard computer room and hardware and software configuration

T4 computer room, 10 Gigabit interconnection in data center, Load Balance, firewall, anti-DDOS***

No remote data center provides remote disaster preparedness

Synchronization and disaster preparedness of remote data centers

Provide better high-reliability, high-availability service level 2 and 3 Internet access through two data centers in Shanghai and Beijing, away from the backbone network

Best Internet access and data Center location

Shanghai and Beijing, high bandwidth, low latency, 1 jump into the backbone network single operator Internet access

Multi-operator Internet access

China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom

No CDN service

Users are required to find third-party CDN suppliers directly.

The best CDN service

More than 700s higher cost, lower ROI, worse service, lower cost, higher ROI, better service

Operation and maintenance comparison

How to respond

IDC: except for the basic hardware facilities (air conditioning, power, external network exit, etc.), all other IT personnel are required to operate and maintain on their own. When you need to enter the IDC for operation and maintenance, you need to submit the identity ID of the operation and maintenance personnel one day in advance, which greatly affects the emergency.

Microsoft Azure:7 * 24-hour online after-sale operation and maintenance, service level guarantee agreement (SLA) for infrastructure to provide financial guarantee

Hardware upgrade

IDC: enterprise IT needs to plan a complete upgrade plan, any risk may lead to system downtime and business standstill, complex upgrade process leads to long upgrade cycle

Azure: enterprise IT does not need to care about hardware upgrade. We will notify users of the upgrade time point 2 weeks in advance for each upgrade.

Comparison of disaster preparedness plans

IDC and IDC disaster recovery Microsoft Azure and IDC disaster recovery data replication through storage or third-party replication software through Azure site replication or third-party replication software virtualize users themselves or find other vendors to deploy, operation and maintenance virtualization environment Microsoft provides and operation and maintenance of the entire virtualized environment network design complex network design, need to meet the needs of production, replication and monitoring network. Different network devices have different management interfaces and methods, high management costs define the system network through SDN, one interface manages all networks and information deployment cycle from 2 months to 6 months deployment cycle 2 weeks to 1 month deployment cycle data retains only one data per site, additional copies require additional hardware and software costs Azure automatically retains at least 3 copies of data, up to 6 copies of data Achieve data backup at a third site outside 2 sites (across 1200 km) At the same time, the flexibility of the increased business connection between two Azure sites through two 10G dedicated lines requires the re-purchase of IDC rental cabinets and software and hardware, which can not meet the fast business requirements. For example, temporary promotions directly add Azure services without going through any process, and the flexibility of deployment business reduction is completed internally in the shortest time (promotion ends) idle all new hardware Waiting for the next promotion to shut down all the services needed for the promotion, ending the extra cost of network-level failover requires the purchase of internet network transfer equipment, complex configuration and operation and maintenance, high cost to achieve rapid network-level failover cost analysis through Azure traffic manage

Here are just some comparisons for the customer, which may be useful, but they may not be available everywhere. Share gives it to everyone.
