As we all know, one of Alibaba Cloud's data centers is located in Nantong. The staff of Nantong Mobile said that they had conducted long-term debugging with Alibaba Cloud in the Alibaba data room. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the double 11 communication network, Nantong Mobile formulated a network emergency protection plan in advance.

Recently, Wen Ku, Director of the Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that my country has built and opened about 700,000 5G base stations, and some areas have achieved high-quality coverage of 5G signals. This year’s Double 11 has the blessing of 5G networks, and users will surely have access to General shopping experience.
Alibaba Cloud's five major data centers
help out
This year's Double 11 is different from usual, and Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai’s "hands-up party" is even more blessed! They will experience the smooth consumption experience brought by the super data center for the first time, and the network stalls will all disappear. Because Alibaba’s first super data center in Hangzhou, the Hangzhou Data Center, was officially put into use, the cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things services provided by Alibaba effectively radiated the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt to help new infrastructure. It is reported that the Hangzhou data center is designed and built for the needs of the future industry. It uses the latest research results such as Dharma Academy and Pingtou’s Shenlong cloud server, Hanguang 800, self-developed network switch, etc., in terms of scale, computing power, energy saving, and intelligence. Comprehensive upgrades have been carried out in aspects such as chemical engineering.
The front hand chop is too hot, and the rear server must be calm. In order to ensure that servers can operate "calmly" during Double 11, Alibaba Cloud has expanded its strategy to use the world's largest liquid-cooled data center to provide "soaking" services to tens of thousands of servers in Hangzhou without air conditioning and fans. Alibaba Cloud claims that compared with traditional data centers, the overall energy saving is over 70%, which can save 7,000 per year.Ten thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity is enough to light all the street lights around West Lake for 8 years.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the Hangzhou data center, this year Alibaba Cloud also has super data centers including Hangzhou, Zhangbei, Ulanchabu, Heyuan, and Nantong. Over a million servers are owned by Chinese people. "Buy, buy and buy" brings a "Dove"-like experience. This also provides full computing services for digital life and provides a solid foundation for the development of new infrastructure.
At the same time, technologies such as AI robots and intelligent operation and maintenance are gradually being used on a large scale. On Double 11 this year, the inspection robot "Skyscanner" of the Alibaba Cloud data center is officially on duty in the data center, which can automatically replace faulty hard disks: automatic inspection-faulty disk location-disk replacement-hard disk power-on, the whole process The action only takes 4 minutes. The
Double 11 experience has evolved from a green leather car to a high-speed rail, making the Chinese people's "hand-cutting" more stable and faster. At this time, issues such as network security are more important. Once network security goes wrong, it will be a devastating blow. In order to ensure the unimpeded flow of online shopping and the safety of users' interests, not only Alibaba staff are fighting endlessly, but also thousands of correspondents are waiting.
