Cloud computing is coming in force, but its impact on the country is not too great. After all, the development of the Internet in China is still far behind that of developed countries. Many people in the industry are skeptical about the security and privacy of private clouds and public clouds. manner. So for now, the server placement problem of domestic enterprises still comes down to IDC service providers. As far as the current domestic Internet development is concerned, server hosting is still the first choice for enterprises or successful individual webmasters. So in the face of so many IDC service providers in China, how to choose a server hosting provider that is truly suitable for them has given many corporate network administrators or personal webmasters a headache. In fact, choosing an IDC service provider is nothing more than qualifications, price, computer room, services, etc.
IDC business qualifications that can survive in the IDC industry for 7-8 years or even longer are not a problem. IDC, which has gone through ups and downs and accumulated a lot of experience, is the guarantee of quality. Veteran IDC vendors can only go further and further in the IDC industry if they can withstand the polish of time...
As for the price issue, to be honest, I am also very troubled by this issue. Many people shrink back when they hear that the price is much higher than other places, thinking that they are overcharged. But I wonder if you have ever thought about why there is a price difference? There is China Telecom in the south and China Netcom in the north. Many of the computer rooms in the south belong to China Telecom. Many IDC service providers choose to act as agents for the computer rooms of China Telecom. Why do you need an agent? Because the quality and stability of Telecom’s computer rooms cannot be compared to self-built computer rooms. As an agent for telecommunications equipment rooms, the price offered by Telecom to IDC will never be uniform across the country. The prices of telecommunications branches in various provinces and cities in China are different. From the perspective of hosting costs, this determines the price difference of server hosting. The price difference in various regions is not small. Shanghai is much more expensive than Suzhou, Wuxi and other places. The price difference is also related to the local Internet management system and depends on the market share of the access provider. So it is not that cheaper is better. There are always reasons for the price difference. Everyone knows that small profits but quick turnover, but sometimes it is not a question of small profits or not, but a matter of losing money or not. The difference in cost is caused by In the end, the custody price is different, and no one will make a loss-making transaction.
According to relevant reports, China Telecom currently attaches great importance to the construction and operation of IDC, and the number of IDC computer rooms in the entire network is close to 350. Among them, there are nearly 300 IDC computer rooms that provide external services, and more than 50 are used to support China Telecom's internal business bearings. The number of racks exceeds 30,000, and the computer room area exceeds 200,000 square meters. There are so many computer rooms, and each one is different. The bandwidth environment, air conditioning facilities, and earthquake resistance levels are more or less different.
The export bandwidth of many computer rooms in Shanghai is only about 20G, and some can reach 40G. Because there are many IDC computer rooms in Shanghai, Shanghai's Internet bandwidth resources are divided among the major computer rooms, facing a situation where there are more wolves than meat. As for the surrounding city of Shanghai, Suzhou, as far as I know, Suzhou is currently operating the Suzhou Telecom Nanshi Street computer room. It is the only four-star computer room in Suzhou. Its export bandwidth reaches 60G (still being increased as appropriate). The author was fortunate enough to witness the operation of this computer room. The traffic diagram shows that each of the two Cisco 7609 core routers can reach around 30G. And it is understood that many well-known companies such as pplive, Taobao and Baidu have considerable resources in this computer room. Among the bandwidth resources in the entire Jiangsu Province, Suzhou has the most abundant remaining bandwidth. This is also the reason why many companies are optimistic about Suzhou Telecom and Suzhou Nanshi Arcade Computer Room.
Price and computer room are not key issues. In my opinion, the essence of IDC service providers is to provide services, so the quality of services is related to the vital interests of users. A formal IDC has at least three customer service staff on duty 24 hours a day. Customers can call at any time if they have any questions, and someone will definitely answer the phone. If you call customer service and no one answers, then the customer service specialist is just a decoration and useless. Good after-sales service is an important factor in whether an IDC can survive for a long time. IDC service providers rely on customer groups, and a good reputation determines whether an IDC provider can become bigger and stronger. Service is the top priority. I believe that excellent IDC vendors do an excellent job in this area. Only IDCs that are recognized by customers are real IDCs.
