物联网数据中心建设方案_知道数据中心如何受到大数据和物联网的影响

物联网数据中心建设方案

Big Data and the Internet of Things are two trends that are expected to increase the demand placed on data centre exponentially. They represent two different sectors of industry, with large enterprises relying on Big Data to help them with their business decisions, and consumers relying on the IoT to produce devices that help them to simplify everyday tasks. However, they have one thing common: they are both going to drive up the demand placed on data centre infrastructures and the hardware they host. Here we will take a look at the impact we can expect Big Data and the IoT to have on data centres.

大数据和物联网是两个趋势，有望使对数据中心的需求呈指数增长。 它们代表了两个不同的行业领域，大型企业依靠大数据来帮助他们制定业务决策，而消费者则依靠IoT生产能够帮助他们简化日常任务的设备。 但是，它们有一个共同点：它们都将推动对数据中心基础架构及其托管的硬件的需求。 在这里，我们将看一下大数据和物联网对数据中心的影响。

需要更多硬件 (More hardware will be required)

Devices that can be classed as part of the IoT have a variety of purposes, but many have one thing in common – rather than processing inputs themselves or hosting data locally, they rely on the cloud for this.

可以归类为IoT一部分的设备具有多种用途，但许多用途有一个共同点-而不是自己处理输入或本地托管数据，而是依靠云。

The hardware contained in many youth devices is a relatively low specification and limited by today’s standards and instead the hardware that you use is simply a front end for a service that is otherwise web-based. If we take Siri on Apple’s mobile devices as an example, rather than the processing of Siri commands taking place on the device itself, your recorded commands are sent off to the cloud, which could be hosted in a data centre on the other side of the world, where they are processed and commands that iOS software can understand are sent back so that the intended action can be performed.

许多青年设备中包含的硬件规格相对较低，并且受当今标准的限制，而您使用的硬件只是基于Web的服务的前端。 如果我们以苹果移动设备上的Siri为例，而不是对设备本身上发生的Siri命令进行处理，则您记录的命令将发送到云中，该云可以托管在云的另一侧的数据中心中。在世界范围内，它们会被处理，并且iOS软件可以理解的命令会被发回，以便可以执行预期的操作。

One device is unlikely to produce much traffic – but if you’ve got millions of devices being used all the time, then as a CIO it will be your responsibility to scale up the amount and power of the hardware to cope with demand.

一台设备不太可能产生大量流量-但是如果您一直有数百万台设备在使用，那么作为CIO，您有责任扩大硬件的数量和功能来应对需求。

Similarly, Big Data needs to be processed somehow if it is to be turned into something that can produce meaningful results. Huge amounts of computing power are usually called upon for the processing of data, and of course this computing power has to be hosted somewhere. Large farms of servers provides the power and these operate in a cluster so that Big Data can be processed efficiently. With more than a single server being required for this one purpose, this is another area that we can expect to contribute to the growth in demand for hardware.

同样，如果要将大数据转化为可以产生有意义结果的东西，则需要以某种方式进行处理。 通常需要大量的计算能力来处理数据，当然，这种计算能力必须托管在某个地方。 大型服务器场提供了强大的功能，它们在集群中运行，因此可以有效地处理大数据。 为此，需要不止一台服务器，这是我们可以预期对硬件需求增长做出贡献的另一个领域。

对公用事业的需求增加 (Greater demand for utilities)

More hardware inevitably means that more power will be used and with so many devices contacting the data centre at all hours, huge amounts of bandwidth are going to be necessary to make sure that all of these requests and be served.

更多的硬件不可避免地意味着将使用更多的功率，并且有如此多的设备始终与数据中心联系，因此需要大量带宽来确保所有这些请求都得到满足。

One of the key questions that needs to be put to data centre operators today is about how they’re going to be powering their data centres in the future. Even though we just about have enough electricity to power our data centres in the present moment, the future could represent a challenge as the issues of greater demand for electricity and a lack of new power stations coming online converge. The truth is that the power grid we take for granted right now is questionable at best; even though many data centres rely on multiple power feeds, these are still susceptible to natural events and right now may not even have the capacity to cope with the demand expected in future.

今天，数据中心运营商需要解决的关键问题之一是他们将来如何为数据中心供电。 尽管目前我们几乎有足够的电力来为数据中心供电，但随着电力需求增加和缺乏新的在线发电站的问题汇聚在一起，未来可能仍然是一个挑战。 事实是，我们现在认为理所当然的电网充其量是可疑的。 即使许多数据中心都依赖多个电源，但这些电源仍然容易受到自然事件的影响，并且现在甚至可能没有能力满足未来的预期需求。

A recent survey conducted by InformationWeek suggested that 68% of respondents were expecting demand from WAN (Wide Area Network) traffic to increase over the next 12 months however, only 15% of respondents have actively increased their capacity. If traffic is increasing, but many carriers are failing to increase capacity sufficiently, then there is the potential for a bandwidth deficit that could widen over the next decade.

InformationWeek最近进行的一项调查显示，有68％的受访者预计WAN(广域网)流量的需求将在未来12个月内增加，但是只有15％的受访者积极提高了容量。 如果流量在增加，但是许多运营商未能充分增加容量，那么带宽不足的可能性可能会在未来十年内扩大。
