Power Tyrant Men Wear Private Cloud Platform To Reduce Management Costs

"Strong fighter"

The application environment is complex, and different applications require different hardware resources, operating system version and database version.

When a new application is launched, it takes a lot of time to understand the system requirements of the application and support the corresponding IT resources.

The response time of the IT system architecture deployment to the application is at least one month, more than two or three months.

After building a virtual data center, the architecture is more flexible. IT resources can be allocated on demand, and allocate CPU, memory, storage resources and deployment to a new application. It only takes 1 to 3 days.

IT response time is shortened from 30 days to 1 days, which can provide better support for business development.

Demand: Informationization needs to go up to a new stage

Jin Ba men's clothing (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (referred to as "power tyrant men's clothing") is a famous clothing enterprise in China.

In the world's brand laboratory (WorldBrandLab) released in 2011, "China's 500 most valuable brand list", the strong tyrant men's clothing ranked 17 billion 565 million in the fiftieth place, ranking the first in the apparel industry.

The strong male clothing attaches great importance to information construction. Through the implementation of ERP enterprise resource management, DRP distribution management, BI business intelligence and other systems, lean management and precision marketing are realized.

The information system has become one of the core competitiveness of the men's clothing. The information infrastructure based on high efficiency, high availability and high reliability is put on the agenda.

In 2011, Shanghai decided to build a new data center in Shanghai to allow the information system to go to a higher level.

Effectiveness: the IT system architecture deployment time has been shortened from 1 months to 1 days

Since 2011, EMC and RC have been working together to build virtualized data centers through virtualization technology through professional information infrastructure consulting and planning services, and gradually pition to private cloud platforms.

In January 2012, the first phase of the new data center was formally launched.

In addition to the production system database, the deployment of more than 40 virtual servers, including SAP/ERP, DRP, BI, CRM, OA, WMS, PLM, eHR, ETS and more than ten business systems, pioneered the application of comprehensive virtualization in the apparel industry.

The biggest benefit that virtual data center brings to force is shortening the response time of IT architecture deployment to business platform.

Because there are many application systems and environment.

Each application has different requirements for hardware resources, operating system version, and database version; the applied manufacturers are different in familiarity with the operating system and database; application developers also have different specifications for system resource requirements, and often do not match them when they are implemented.

Therefore, when a new application is launched, it often takes a lot of time to understand the needs of the IT resources and repeated tests to start deploying.

Such a situation results in slow response of IT to business applications. A new application is online, and the time required for purchasing and deploying IT infrastructure is at least 1 months, and more than two or three months.

After building the virtual data center, it will take only 1 to 3 days to allocate CPU, memory and storage resources to a new application.

The flexible IT architecture reduces the response time of IT system architecture from 30 days to 1 days.

System availability is greatly improved.

The new virtualization platform has the vMotion function of VMware. When a physical server fails, the virtual machine on the server can be automatically pferred to other physical servers, and it can switch in 10 seconds, which has little impact on the application.

When a physical server fails, it will take at least 10 minutes to restart and restore to another physical server.

Management cost reduced by 2 times.

If we adopt the traditional data center method, we need to manage the independent server of a single station. We need to divide the computer room into PC area, minicomputer area, network area, and classify management.

After implementing the virtual data center, you can manage all the systems in one area.

The pformation from equipment management to resource management, from decentralized management to overall management is realized.

Driving power will divide data center resources into development test group and production group, so long as these two groups can be managed.

It is estimated that the cost of management has been reduced by about 2 times.

Procurement cost has been reduced by more than 30%.

At present, more than 10 applications need more than 40 servers in traditional way.

In the virtualization way, the total cost saved by the company was 30% more than that of a knife box, 13 blades and related software.

Through virtualization, all hardware resources have been fully utilized.

In the past, people considered how many servers were allocated to a certain application. Now they can fine to how much CPUcore and memory they need, so that they can make the best use of everything.
