Shenzhou Cloud Technology releases dual-track ultra-high availability architecture to strengthen the foundation of the IT infrastructure

On December 21, 2022, "Architecture Disruption, Standard Leadership, Continuous Delivery" - Shenzhou Cloud Technology Winter Conference was grandly held online!

In order to adapt to the trend of digital transformation and achieve breakthroughs in the IT infrastructure of trusted innovation, help customers better cope with the high requirements of application delivery and network security in the digital economy era, and meet customers' needs in a dual-track (trusted innovation & non-trusted innovation) environment to achieve application sustainability based on dual-active or multi-cloud multi-active, Shenzhou Cloud Technology, standing at the strategic height of application sustainability, puts forward the strategic approach of "1521", hoping to help enterprises overtake others in the digitalization process through a dual-track maximum availability architecture (DTMAA for short), five engines, two major product series of Yunke Rongyi + Yunke Tongming Lake, and a set of "Financial Trusted Innovation Application Sustainability Testing Guidelines".

"White Paper on Application Sustainability Architecture and Verification in the Digital Age" was released

iResearch Consulting, together with China Cloud Technology, Tongminghu Cloud and Innovative Research Institute, and Tongming Smart Cloud, will release the "White Paper on Application Sustainability Architecture and Verification in the Digital Age" for the first time in the industry on December 23.

The white paper points out that the application sustainability architecture should start from the architecture itself: only when the overall architecture and key nodes are stable can each module be assembled agilely and flexibly. And only when each module is agile, the active-active and disaster recovery between different data centers, the docking and migration between traditional architecture and cloud native architecture, and the docking and migration between non-trusted and trusted devices can be easily completed without the business side's perception. The specific features of the application sustainability architecture include: active-active dual-track, multi-protocol docking, seamless docking with modern technology stacks, full life cycle observability, dynamically scalable loads, active resilience, and docking and integration in multiple ways.

Architecture subversion: dual-track ultra-high availability architecture is a key technology in the digital age

The acceleration of independent innovation has brought great sustainability challenges to customers' application localization process. Application sustainability is a key technology in the digital age. For enterprises, business sustainability is largely related to application sustainability. Especially in extreme cases, customers' applications need to maintain continuous service, including sudden pressure, safety hazards, iteration process, disasters, etc., and can continue to provide high-quality services.

According to the survey, 52% of Chinese customers choose sustainability first. Being able to unify traditional architecture and cloud-native architecture to achieve compatibility and collaboration will be the best sustainability service.

Wu Jingtao, Vice President of Shenzhou Cloud Technology and Deputy Director of Tongminghu Cloud and Info-Innovation Research Institute, said, "On the one hand, how to ensure the stability of Info-Innovation products and bridge the gap between performance and enterprise application requirements; on the other hand, facing the challenges of compliance, risk and innovation, how can cloud native achieve trusted open source and cross-domain collaboration. Dual-Track Ultra-High Availability Architecture (DTMAA) came into being in this context."

Dual Track Ultra-High Availability Architecture (DTMAA)

Through architectural innovation, Shenzhou Cloud Technology proposed the Dual Track Ultra High Availability Architecture (DTMAA) for the first time in the industry. The so-called DTMAA is a new architecture launched by Shenzhou Cloud Technology to meet the needs of enterprises facing independent innovation IT infrastructure reconstruction. The architecture is based on the partition scheduling of dual-active data centers, and adds the partition scheduling of the trusted innovation domain and the non-trusted innovation domain in each data center to achieve multi-active dual-track ultra-high availability with partition and domain collaboration. It helps customers improve application sustainability, solve performance bottlenecks, and improve stability under the new architecture. In the event of service abnormalities, it can switch traffic through real-time grayscale scheduling to retain the application failure site environment, which is convenient for subsequent troubleshooting and root cause location.

The core value of the "five engines" of the dual-track ultra-high availability architecture

In the process of independent innovation, the data center architecture is decomposed into two business areas of the existing architecture, the non-trusted innovation area and the trusted innovation area. After each data center is divided into the trusted innovation area and the non-trusted innovation area, the cross-regional and cross-domain collaboration method between the two areas is adopted. Shenzhou Cloud Technology realizes multi-level application sustainability best practices through five major engines.

Five engines of dual-track ultra-high availability architecture

1. High-availability scheduling engine: assists in verifying trusted innovation services and eliminating hidden dangers; dynamically adjusts the proportion of trusted innovation services to control risks; assists trusted innovation services in emergency escape; and assists in the agile linkage of modern applications.

2. Security service orchestration engine: helps realize innovation in the trusted security architecture and improves attack and defense capabilities.

3. Trusted innovation high-availability engine: network collaboration and intelligent scheduling.

4. High-availability engine for modern applications: trusted, open source, secure and controllable.

5. Big data engine: helps business observability.

Li Xiaodong, solution architect of Shenzhou Cloud Technology, pointed out that "the five engines are the core soul of dual-track construction. The technical advantage of the dual-track ultra-high availability architecture is that it realizes the intelligent protocol-level interconnection and interoperability of the trusted high-availability engine and the high-availability scheduling engine. The high-availability engine can quickly perceive the status of the trusted business through the trusted high-availability engine, and it will extract the information that must be judged from the trusted high-availability engine as a comprehensive judgment of the business quality."
