Nowadays, many new technologies such as 5G, cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence are applied in more and more scenarios. These new technologies organically connect people, things and data in series, making data become important means of production and flowing in the whole society. As an important part of society, enterprises are also the smallest unit to practice digitalization. Enterprise digital transformation can help enterprises have more efficient production efficiency and output greater value.

Data and business digitization is an important step for enterprises. Large enterprises often have clear plans for their own digital transformation path, but for small and medium-sized enterprises, how to realize digital transformation quickly and economically and how to ensure the security of key data are the problems they have to face.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, if they want to digitize, they must first have their own digital basic platform. In the past, the realization of this platform was based on the mode of building private data center or renting data center. Such a mode has problems such as high cost, difficult operation and maintenance, high network security requirements, etc. For small and medium-sized enterprises, it is difficult to quickly complete these elements. Now, through digitalization in the cloud, these problems are solved.

Digital transformation through cloud service providers is undoubtedly the fastest, but how many cloud service operators choose, this is also an important thing, after all, once the business and data choose cloud, this is a long-term process. What are the services provided by cloud service providers? Is it forward-looking? Can you guarantee long-term stability and data security? These are the problems that SMEs have to face on the cloud. Fortunately, Huawei Cloud has provided a series of cloud service solutions to meet various needs, so that various demand scenarios of SMEs can find corresponding solutions on Huawei Cloud.

Elastic Cloud Virtual Machine: Flexible dynamic expansion, low cost and high cost performance As the basic suite on cloud, Cloud Virtual Machine is naturally the preferred service for many enterprise businesses. For common computing business models, Huawei Cloud provides elastic Cloud Virtual Machine ECS, Cloud Cloud Virtual Machine HECS, bare metal server BMS, dedicated host DEH and other solutions to meet different business needs of enterprises and applications.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, their business scale is often not too large, and their business mainly focuses on low-scale computing scenarios open to the outside world such as display-type websites, internal OA data, Mini programs, etc. ECS here often matches the needs of these businesses more closely, but the selection of elastic Cloud Virtual Machine should also match the actual business scale. ECS has the characteristics of flexibility and on-demand billing, which can also greatly save expenses for enterprises.

Huawei Cloud's Elastic Cloud Virtual Machine is relatively new in construction. Take Huawei Cloud ECS C7 instance as an example. This Cloud Virtual Machine benefits from Huawei Cloud Skylift architecture capability and is equipped with the brand-new third generation Intel Xeon scalable processor (code: Ice Lake). The overall computing performance is 50% higher than the previous generation.

In the purchase of examples, Huawei Cloud provides a process-based, autonomous purchase experience. Only need to choose according to the actual needs and business scale of the enterprise, you can quickly complete the purchase and configuration of ECS. In addition to the purchase of the server itself for cloud computing, it also supports the purchase and use of other storage methods and IP.

Here we select an 8-core C7 instance with 16GB of memory, and Windows OS configuration takes less than 1 minute. We quickly completed the configuration of the instance. We accessed the instance through Microsoft Remote Desktop and saw that the task manager provided 8 cores, single thread and 16GB of memory.

To quickly change the configuration, you only need to adjust the configuration in Huawei Cloud ECS management background. The adjustment process is basically the same as the purchase process. Here CTOnews.com changed the ECS configuration to 16 cores with 32GB of memory.

After experiencing an instance restart, we see that the instance purchased before this time has been upgraded to 16 cores and 32GB of memory. The entire upgrade process is zero perception, and there are no errors encountered. For small and medium-sized enterprises, such rapid adjustment configuration can be a good response to business emergencies.

Here we also look at some basic situations of Huawei Cloud C7 instance through CPU-Z and Master Lu. The processor adopts Intel Xeon 3rd Generation Scalable Processor. It is a relatively new configuration in the elastic Cloud Virtual Machine products at this stage. Compared with the previous Huawei Cloud C6 / C3 products, the maximum number of processor cores and memory supported by Huawei Cloud C7 have been greatly improved. Previously, the maximum number of cores and memory of Huawei Cloud C6 based on the second generation Intel Xeon scalable processor was 64 cores and 256GB.

Under the 16-core 32GB memory configuration, Master Lu's processor runs 58.3 million points and memory scores 45.4 million points. If you choose according to more core configurations, Huawei Cloud C7 instances can even compete with physical hosts of other cloud service providers in terms of performance.

We also upgraded the configuration of Huawei Cloud C7 instance to 32 threads and 64GB memory, and tested the processor, memory and network performance of this product under CentOS.

This test was conducted under CentOS 8.2 system environment, and we ran Geekbench 3 to see its processor performance. The test data are as follows:

Huawei Cloud C7 (32U64G) scored 5011 points for single-core integer, 4397 points for single-core floating point, 91386 points for multi-core integer and 91063 points for multi-core floating point.

In memory testing, we used stream testing tools to test Huawei Cloud C7's Copy, Scale, Add, and Triad operations. After 10 rounds of testing, Huawei Cloud C7's memory Copy performance averaged about 136GB / s, Scale performance averaged about 95GB /s, Add performance averaged about 108GB / s, and Triad performance averaged about 110GB / s.

Such memory performance is basically not much different from the exclusive physical host, especially important for fast processing of large amounts of data. Of course, after the general service scale is slightly larger, the computing capacity of one server may not be able to meet the needs of the service scenario. At this time, it is necessary to deploy the service through multiple Cloud Virtual Machine, in which the throughput and bandwidth performance of the intranet determine the upper limit of data exchange between multiple servers. Taking Huawei Cloud C7 (32 U64G) as an example, through netperf intranet bandwidth test, we can see that under this configuration, Huawei Cloud C7 example intranet bandwidth reaches 30Gbps, and the powerful intranet bandwidth can carry out larger data exchange in unit time, so as to achieve greater data processing capacity.

Huawei Cloud C7's intranet transceiver capability is also very high. Under 32 U64G configuration, Huawei Cloud C7's iperf test reaches 5.5 million PPS per second.

Huawei cloud ECS products are updated in configuration compared with other service providers, and the update also means better performance, which is even higher than the physical host configuration of other manufacturers. According to the business scenario of CTOnews.com, a fully equipped Huawei Cloud C7 host can basically cope with all the business pressure of the website. Of course, if the demand is greater, you can consider renting Huawei Cloud's dedicated host directly, so as to bring long-term stable computing demand.

Cloud database: safe and reliable, dynamic expansion according to business scale In the context of digitalization, data is important production materials, where these data are stored, and how to ensure security is something that all enterprises should consider.

For large enterprises, they often set up their own data centers, but such costs are too high for small and medium-sized enterprises, cloud database services will avoid such problems, first of all do not have to spend high costs to buy database management software, and secondly do not have to prepare a large number of storage devices for data storage, and finally data security is also guaranteed, which is a good solution to the data storage needs of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Huawei Cloud provides cloud database RDS service, which provides MySQL, PostgreSQL and SQL Server relational databases, as well as active/standby and stand-alone architectures. The selection process is consistent with that of Elastic Cloud Virtual Machine, which can be selected according to actual needs.

After the purchase is completed, Huawei Cloud's cloud database products can be directly used after a few minutes of configuration. Huawei Cloud also provides database management DAS service, which makes it convenient for data administrators to manage data without client.

DAS enables data administrators to easily add, delete, and modify databases and data tables, as well as perform routine operations. SQL scripts are also supported to manage data. In addition to common relational database products, Huawei Cloud also provides GaussDB database and document database to meet the needs of different business scenarios and facilitate the data storage needs of different types of businesses.

In terms of data application, Huawei Cloud Database can meet the mainstream business scenarios such as e-commerce, games, data migration, audio and video at the current stage, ensuring high stability while also bringing better response speed.

Of course, the core data of some small and medium-sized enterprises will also be isolated by other cloud service providers or self-built physical hosts to ensure data security. The cloud process of these offline data is complex and it is often difficult to give full play to the value of data.

Huawei Cloud provides CDM data migration services. Enterprises can organically combine these offline data and online services through data migration. At the same time, offline data and cloud data can backup each other to ensure data security. Online migrated data can also be further mined to realize more big data scenario applications or use data for behavior prediction and situational awareness. Huawei provides specialized data governance centers to help enterprises better utilize the value of data.

As the most important wealth in the 21st century, data is very important to the survival of every enterprise. The circulation and application of data need a reliable and stable environment to guarantee it. For small and medium-sized enterprises, data goes to the cloud once and for all, saving a lot of operation and maintenance costs and hardware costs, so that these enterprises can focus on business development and bring more valuable social practices.

With the increasing importance of data, there are more and more hacker attacks and extortion cases, and the cloud security requirements for data and services are higher and higher. The business level often faces DDoS attacks, resulting in full bandwidth network paralysis; the data level has to face problems such as database collision and SQL injection. Huawei Cloud provides different security protection for business and data security problems to ensure smooth business operation and data security.

Huawei Cloud provides Anti-DDoS protection against business-level DDoS attacks, 5Gb protection capacity for acoustic protection, and traffic cleansing protection to counter large-scale DDoS attacks against businesses.

Through real-time monitoring of public network IP traffic, Huawei Cloud can automatically detect abnormal attack traffic and clean DDoS attacks without affecting business. It can effectively prevent SYN Flood attacks, HTTP Flood attacks, CC attacks, slow connection attacks, UDP Flood attacks, TCP attacks, SSL DDoS, DDoS attacks and other types of attacks.

In addition, Huawei also provides security protection measures such as Web Application Firewall WAF service, Cloud Firewall CFW, situational awareness SA, threat detection service MTD, etc. for common enterprise services to ensure the security of services and data.

Security is the focus of enterprise business, which cannot be ignored. Of course, if the business wants to become bigger and stronger, it should not only focus on China, but also have global vision, especially those businesses with heavy download requirements. These business types often have large data volume or extremely high response demand, and the data update is fast and the data volume is large.

Such enterprises, sometimes not only to serve the national users, but also to serve the global users, which requires a larger distribution network, CTOnews.com for example, users all over the world, there is a very large daily content refresh demand, which has higher requirements for CDN.

Huawei Cloud provides CDN acceleration node services for these enterprises. Through node servers deployed around the world, it can distribute the content of the source site to all CDN nodes, so that users can obtain the content nearby, bringing faster access speed, solving the problems of small network bandwidth, large user access volume and uneven distribution of nodes.

Huawei Cloud CDN service has more than 2000 CDNs in the mainland of China and more than 800 CDNs outside the mainland, covering more than 130 countries and regions. The total bandwidth output capacity of the whole network is more than 150Tbps.

Here, we compare the connection speed of Huawei Cloud CDN server through the connection time of Huawei Cloud official website and CTOnews.com official website. Through the test data of 46 monitoring points in China, we can see that the average connection speed of Huawei cloud official website is 17 milliseconds, and the average connection speed of CTOnews.com is 26 milliseconds.

At the global monitoring point, we can see that the average connection speed of Huawei cloud official website is 19 milliseconds, and the average connection speed of IT machine official website is 23 milliseconds.

Summarize that the biggest problem faced by small and medium-sized enterprises in the process of digitalization is cost, especially in the initial stage of small and micro enterprises, they often do not have enough cost to support the hardware base of digital development, for relatively small and medium-sized enterprises, these digital hardware bases are a very large burden, and cloud can solve the biggest problem of cost very well.

How to choose a cloud service provider is a knowledge, rich business scenarios, flexible configuration mode, safe use environment, these are the key points to be considered by small and medium-sized enterprises on the cloud.

Service providers such as Huawei Cloud provide rich service tools to match various needs of SMEs. The one-stop service experience greatly reduces the difficulties in operation.
