Yunke Tongming Lake: This piece of the puzzle is indispensable for building sustainable financial business capabilities!

As the digital transformation of the banking industry continues to deepen, the need for data centers to support business sustainability has become increasingly prominent. In order to achieve industry leadership in business development and innovation, financial services need to have strong adaptability to ensure that end customers have a continuously improved user experience. Therefore, the construction of active-active data centers for financial enterprises is becoming increasingly important.

Difficulties in Building Active-Active Data Centers

However, the construction of an active-active data center is a complex system project. The construction of an active-active data center for financial enterprises needs to solve the following problems:

l Data center assets under multiple centers are redundant, ROI is low, and it cannot meet the construction goals of the next generation of data centers;

l Solve the problem of data center failure degradation while ensuring overall ROI;

l Under the premise of providing the best experience for clients, seamless switching and efficient management of traffic between multiple centers can be achieved, and intelligent traffic guidance under sudden traffic can be effectively handled;

l Capture, correlate, and integrate customer performance data to achieve observability of end-user performance data.

Moreover, the most important point of active-active data center is how to ensure that both data centers are "alive" and can provide business production services to the outside world at the same time, ensuring that the centers are equal, regardless of master-slave, and can deploy business at the same time. While greatly improving resource utilization and system work efficiency and performance, it ensures business sustainability and allows customers to obtain the greatest value from the disaster recovery system.

As a key technology to solve the problem of coordination between computing and communication technology lines, application delivery technology plays a vital role in this link. It realizes the effective coordination between applications and networks, shoulders the important mission of ensuring the safe, continuous and stable operation of business, and has important strategic value in the entire IT architecture.

Yunke Tongming Lake Active-Active Data Center Construction Plan

Yunke Tongming Lake active-active data center architecture solution is deployed based on the characteristics of Yunke Tongming Lake application delivery equipment and has the following advantages:

1. Multi-center intelligent traffic management

l Perfectly solve the problem of traffic service quality detection and release through technologies such as DNS/RHI;

The unified scheduling platform can realize intelligent traffic orchestration based on the end-user's geographical location, data center computing power, user experience, etc.

l Through 2-7 layer fine-grained event control, it helps to defend against abnormal burst traffic and guide data services for normal traffic;

l Data center session persistence technology achieves seamless forwarding of sessions between multiple centers by pasting context;

2. Business performance data is observable

l Through built-in high-performance log processing and data capture capabilities, end-user performance data can be observable.

Realize dual/multi-active data centers, increase the return on investment (ROI) by 30%; improve application sustainability, reduce RTO by 70%, and improve the ability to detect faults in data centers, links, and applications, and achieve intelligent switching in minutes; improve observability, flexibly allocate user requests based on the different processing capabilities of the dual data centers and the different geographical distribution of users, increase client interaction efficiency by 35.7%, and improve the ability to detect abnormal business to seconds.

Best Practices for Building Active-Active Data Center in Tongming Lake, Yunke

In a bank's active-active data center construction project, as a large bank, once the computing and storage resources used by the business system fail or crash, it will lead to the complete paralysis of the company's business, resulting in huge economic losses and impact on credibility. Therefore, in the selection and architecture design of storage, it is necessary to fully consider the stability of storage to ensure business continuity. Therefore, the bank put forward the following requirements in the process of active-active data center construction:

l Establish application-level multi-active data center;

l Guide users to the best data center and line based on their region and operator;

l Load balancing of servers and links;

l Programmable control can flexibly meet changing application requirements without changing the application;

Yunke Tongming Lake series application delivery equipment is favored by the bank due to its five major advantages: domestic production, high performance, security and controllability, high-efficiency design, and scalability design.

During the deployment of the dual-active data center, the Yunke Tongminghu R&D team designed a dual-active data center architecture based on the business characteristics of the bank. It used Yunke Tongminghu's 4 YK-ADC GSLB and 12 YK-ADC SLB application delivery devices to provide a dual-track ultra-high availability architecture (DTMAA) to ensure the processing capacity of the business. It realizes the linkage between GSLB and SLB, assigns different users to the corresponding data center according to the preset algorithm, and ensures that customers of different operators can access through the corresponding operator lines. It integrates customizable programmable capabilities, provides powerful control for processing application transactions or application traffic in processes, and solves the consistency problem of mobile users' access across data centers through programmable capabilities, and solves the technical difficulties when the application server accesses the Tencent WeChat interface through the SLB proxy.

With the help of Yunke Tongminghu series of application delivery products, the bank has achieved efficient, safe and reliable load balancing functions, fully utilized hardware resources, ensured the stable operation of online banking, mobile banking, WeChat banking and other systems, achieved business-level active-active, activated about 80 million data center assets, and the data center switching speed jumped from hours to minutes, strengthened the disaster recovery plan (DRP), and increased the recovery time objective (RTO) by more than 90%. An efficient and flexible dual-track ultra-high availability architecture (DTMAA) was built, on which all online banking-related businesses can be deployed in the future, ensuring the rapid development of online banking business and greatly improving the return on investment (ROI).

Yunke Tongminghu series of application delivery products have been trusted by customers in many industries such as finance, government affairs, medical care, and energy, and have significantly improved their information and digital transformation. In the future, the team will continue to increase R&D investment, continuously improve product service capabilities, and safeguard enterprise data centers and cloud computing.
