Zhejiang University
Country: China
Industry: Education
Zhejiang University, in collaboration with Information2, has successfully established the “Zhejiang University Cloud Backup Sharing Center” with an innovative cloud backup solution as its core. This center not only enables cross-campus real-time access and efficient management of data but also sets a new benchmark for data security and business continuity assurance.
Customer Challenges
As Zhejiang University’s informatization construction progresses, the volume of data has grown rapidly, highlighting the increasing demand for data security and cross-campus real-time access. Considering issues such as dispersed campuses, massive data volumes, diverse terminal types, and weak security, Zhejiang University decided to build the “Zhejiang University Cloud Backup Sharing Center” to achieve centralized management, efficient backup, and cross-campus real-time access of data. This center is expected to provide data backup services for 10,000 users, covering a large number of Windows 7/8 and Windows Server terminals within the school. Each terminal has a vast number of files, with concurrent user numbers expected to reach around one thousand.
I2 Solution
In response to the actual needs of Zhejiang University, Information2 provided a cloud backup solution for efficient data backup, real-time monitoring, and remote access through the following key steps:
- Real-time Backup Protection: Utilizing info2soft’s solution, Zhejiang University can realize real-time backup protection for various types of data. User terminals automatically back up data to the cloud backup sharing center in real-time through existing lines or dedicated lines, ensuring data security and integrity.
- Dynamic Resource Allocation: The cloud backup sharing center adopts an elastic resource allocation model, dynamically expanding and allocating server numbers based on business needs. Generally, one shared center server can meet the needs of 300 user terminals. Depending on the daily data change volume, Zhejiang University can dynamically adjust the number of servers through the Web console to maximize resource utilization.
- Efficient Recovery and Remote Access: In abnormal situations, Zhejiang University can quickly recover relevant data through the cloud backup sharing center. Additionally, the center supports cross-campus real-time access, ensuring data convenience and availability.
- CDP Protection and Hardware Independence: Information2’s cloud backup solution implements CDP (Continuous Data Protection) functionality independent of hardware. When data anomalies occur, Zhejiang University can quickly recover relevant data on different platforms through a graphical management tool, significantly improving data recovery flexibility and efficiency.
Solution Effects
Data Security and Integrity Guaranteed: Real-time backup and CDP functions ensure data security and integrity in any situation, reducing the risk of data loss and damage.
Cross-Campus Real-Time Access and Efficient Management: The cloud backup sharing center supports cross-campus real-time access, enhancing data convenience and availability. Additionally, dynamic resource allocation and graphical management tools enable efficient data management, reducing operational costs.
Cost Savings on Hardware and Software: The elastic resource allocation model of cloud backup meets business expansion and data growth needs. Based on on-demand allocation, it saves Zhejiang University the cost of establishing multiple dedicated disaster recovery centers for hardware and software.
Enjoying High-Performance Cloud Computing Services: Through the cloud backup sharing center, Zhejiang University can access massive storage and high-performance cloud computing services, providing strong support for the school’s informatization construction.
