High cost-effectiveness and high performance at your will! Huawei Cloud's best-selling server evolves again

[Original article from 51CTO.com] The global economic situation in 2019 is confusing. Many companies have turned to public cloud services in a big way, hoping to gain more opportunities while improving overall business innovation capabilities and operational efficiency, and embrace new opportunities brought by emerging technologies such as AI, IoT and 5G at a lower cost.

On April 3, HUAWEI CLOUD announced that the new generation of cloud servers in China, the general computing basic instance S6 and the general computing enhanced instance C6, which are equipped with the new generation of Intel Xeon Cascade Lake processors and Huawei's self-developed high-performance smart network cards, have been officially put into commercial use. This marks that HUAWEI CLOUD has taken the lead in launching a new round of updates and iterations of general computing cloud servers.

It is understood that in February this year, S6 and C6 entered the public beta stage, and user feedback was very good, which also gave Huawei Cloud great market confidence. Now that S6 and C6 have officially entered the commercial stage, they are expected to continue the popularity of S3 and C3 and create another "best-selling" public cloud. In the eyes of reporters, Huawei Cloud has accurately grasped the main pulse of enterprises' cloud needs in the intelligent era. S6 and C6 focus on "high cost performance" and "high performance" respectively, which are very attractive to enterprises with the same cloud needs but different focuses.

S6: Technology dividends bring super high cost-effectiveness, small and medium-sized enterprises go to the cloud***

As SMEs are choosing to migrate to the cloud, the S6, which targets SMEs, is highly favored for its high cost-performance ratio. The S6 general-purpose computing cloud server is based on the new generation of Intel Xeon Cascade Lake processors and Huawei's self-developed high-performance smart network card, locking in a high cost-performance route, and is more suitable for various scenarios with balanced requirements for computing and network performance. In terms of websites and web applications, lightweight databases and cache service levels, and medium and light-load enterprise applications, the S6 can handle them with greater ease.

From the perspective of application performance, the overall computing performance of the S6 instance has been greatly improved by integrating Huawei Cloud's many years of experience in software and hardware. Compared with the previous generation S3 instance, the CPU frequency has been upgraded from 2.2GHz to 2.6GHz, and the maximum computing performance has been improved by more than 15%. In terms of network, thanks to Huawei Cloud's self-developed intelligent network card black technology, the network performance of the S6 instance has been greatly improved. Compared with the previous generation S3 instance of the same specification, the network packet forwarding performance has been greatly improved by 150%, and the intranet bandwidth has been greatly improved by more than 80%. While the overall performance of the S6 instance has been greatly improved, the price has not increased. It can not only meet the higher computing needs of enterprises, but also further help customers reduce cloud costs. It is a veritable cloud best choice for all kinds of medium and light-weight businesses.

The reporter learned that for website deployment and APP development users, after upgrading to S6 instances, the cluster scale cost can be greatly reduced compared to S3 instances, and it can carry more users to access simultaneously, with stable network and low latency, and excellent user experience. For scenarios such as games and social networking sites with high concurrency, S6 instances with greatly improved network packet forwarding capabilities can also easily cope with them.

C6: Hard-core technology achieves superior performance, high-load scenario applications on the cloud***

Among Huawei Cloud's many cloud server products, the C series is known as the flagship series, representing excellent performance and ultra-high stability. Huawei Cloud's new generation C6 general computing enhanced instance, equipped with Intel's new generation customized Xeon Scalable Processor, combined with Huawei's self-developed high-performance smart network card, combines ultra-high computing performance and ultra-high network performance, pushing the performance of Huawei Cloud's general computing cloud servers to a new height.

In terms of computing, the computing power of C6 instances is continuously updated and iterated. Combined with 15 technical optimizations, the highest specification is 64 cores, and the computing performance continues to lead. In terms of network, it is equipped with Huawei's self-developed dual 25GE high-performance smart network cards and the first integrated flow table solution for virtual network data plane forwarding, which pushes the network performance of general-purpose computing cloud servers to a new technical height of 10 million forwarding capabilities. In terms of memory, the memory frequency is fully upgraded to 2933MHz, which greatly improves the efficiency of program access to memory. At the same time, the performance SLA guarantee upgrade is used, combined with Huawei Cloud Enterprise full-stack disaster recovery, multi-level physical perception isolation, second-level fault self-healing, intelligent scheduling, intelligent operation and maintenance and other software-level enhancements, it can exert the security and stability performance of physical machines in various ultra-high load scenarios.

The cloud computing market in 2019 continued the rapid growth of 2018. As a mainstream cloud service provider in the top echelon of China, Huawei Cloud has been investing heavily and making every effort in technology iteration and service upgrades. With more than 30 years of technology accumulation and enterprise-level service experience in the field of ICT infrastructure, Huawei also has accumulation in virtualization, hardware, software, algorithms, and tuning, making it one of the few cloud computing vendors that truly combines software and hardware. The new generation of Huawei Cloud servers released for commercial use is only a starting point. In the future, Huawei Cloud will continue to break through the bottleneck of computing performance, bring customers the most valuable cloud service products, and share the best technology dividends with customers at the earliest time.

It only takes 1 second to click the event link on Huawei Cloud official website, purchase and test S6 instances, experience the best network performance and ultra-high cost-effectiveness of S6 instances, significantly reduce your operating costs, and share the benefits of technology!
