p align = "center" government digital transformation enters a critical period and equipment selection cannot fall off the chain

"Strengthen the construction of digital government" and "improve the construction level of digital government"... This is the reference on the construction of digital government in the government work report in 2021. This year's government work report puts forward higher requirements for the construction of Digital Government: promote the sharing of government data, expand the scope of "inter provincial general handling", basically realize the exchange and mutual recognition of electronic certificates, facilitate the cross regional operation of enterprises, and speed up the handling of matters of concern to the masses.
It is not difficult to see that with the acceleration of the digital transformation of the government, the reform of government services is also advancing in depth: from the initial "online processing" of government services to "one window acceptance" and "one network access", and then to the promotion of government services from "remote access" to "inter provincial access".
With the acceleration of digital transformation of government departments, more and more innovative applications are becoming an important driving force to accelerate the transformation of government functions. Not long ago, the Justice Bureau of Longhua New Area in Shenzhen broadcast the law enforcement activities of safety inspection for enterprises returning to work and production after the festival. In addition to law enforcement personnel, deputies to the National People's Congress, members of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, experts and enthusiastic citizens have personally experienced the whole process of law enforcement. By means of webcast, the public can also experience law enforcement actions from "zero distance".
While the innovative business of government departments is praised by the masses, it also brings challenges to the government's Information Technology Department - one of them is how to solve the problem of data storage and application.
Not long ago, Xi'an "yimaitong" collapsed continuously, resulting in the failure of nucleic acid detection, affecting citizens' travel. After the second collapse of "one yard link" in Xi'an, Xi'an released information on the appointment and removal of cadres late at night. At about 1 a.m. on January 5, the Organization Department of Xi'an municipal Party Committee disclosed that Liu Jun, Secretary of the Party group and director of the city's Big Data Resource Management Bureau, was suspended for inspection due to poor performance of his duties.
Xi'an "one yard link" incident also taught Chinese digital government builders a lesson: building digital infrastructure should not only be fast, but also stable.
In fact, in the process of promoting the construction of digital government, due to the growth of business demand, some traditional it servers can not support a large amount of workload pressure, resulting in the data centers of many government departments living on thin ice.
A provincial high court in East China once faced such a dilemma. Since the provincial courts have deployed the science and technology court system, the data of the science and Technology Court is mainly the audio and video data of the court trial. Since nearly 2 million cases are heard every year, the amount of data added every year is nearly 2000 t Under the mode of separate data storage by the courts in the province, due to the large amount of such data and the long-term failure of data protection such as local backup or remote disaster recovery, there are great data security risks. At the same time, at present, most of the applications and physical servers of the provincial court have a one-to-one correspondence, and there is no high availability cluster. The application deployment lacks redundant design. When the hardware fails, it is easy to interrupt one or more applications, resulting in the suspension of external services and serious single point of failure.
The province's solution is to build an exclusive cloud platform for the provincial court data center based on the government cloud, complete the preliminary business cloud, and build a disaster recovery resource pool at the same time. All cities in the province will build grass-roots court data centers step by step. After completion, local data will be uploaded and backed up, and the application of prefecture and city business and provincial court platform will be realized.
If the equipment supporting the core business of government departments fails, it will cause incalculable losses. Therefore, we must have solid equipment to ensure business operation. Based on the above plan, the provincial court finally built a storage cluster with hundreds of Inspur K1 power fp5280g2 servers, and established a high concurrency, high bandwidth, low latency, high reliability and massive data storage resource pool in the provincial court cloud center through distributed storage, breaking the data island and realizing data backup and multi copy storage, And through the unified distributed storage software, integrate the resources of various cities, provide unified interfaces for various cities, and realize the unified management, unified operation and maintenance, unified backup and data sharing of various cities in the province.
An unnamed data center architect of a large state-owned bank told reporters that for government and enterprise users with weak technical reserves, the business system with high-end power architecture is a good choice based on the consideration of reducing management risk and policy risk. "Of course, some users will choose to buy more x86 devices to solve the problem of database redundancy, but it is undeniable that highly available minicomputers are easier to operate and maintain."
