Has Yang Fan changed? Wu Hao shook his head. Yang Fan has not changed, but everyone here has changed. As their wealth and status have increased, they have also changed. This is a natural thing, but at the beginning
Ambition and ideals have gradually become blurred, which is what we often say has lost its enterprising spirit.
Yang Fan is different. These wealth and status have not changed him. In fact, it has something to do with the fact that he does not have much personal time. Since he was asked to take over the R&D department, he has basically spent his time in the R&D department, talking about
How can we enjoy the changes brought about by wealth and status?
Secondly, it is true that Yang Fan is now the head of the technical department, but his other identity is also Wu Hao's spokesperson or Wu Hao's shadow.
In this position, he is destined to be blocked from Wu Hao's light and ignored by others. He is also destined not to be as glamorous as Zhang Jun, Zou Xiaodong and the others.
But not everyone can do this position. Wu Hao hesitated for a long time before deciding to kick out Zou Xiaodong and keep Yang Fan.
The reason why everyone was surprised was because of Yang Fan's tone, because his tone seemed very relaxed, as if it was not a difficult matter.
Although they are familiar with Yang Fan, they don't have much contact with him because Yang Fan often hides in the laboratory and it is difficult to see people.
So everyone was a little surprised when they heard that the most difficult supercomputer was mentioned so lightly by Yang Fan.
I have a question. I heard that Google has developed a quantum computer and achieved quantum hegemony. Why do we still develop traditional supercomputers? Why not directly develop quantum computers? The gap is huge.
Tong Juan asked Wu Hao.
This project was carried out relatively early, and Tong Juan had not yet arrived at that time. Speaking of which, she learned about some things after coming to the company, but today was the first time she heard about the progress of these projects, so she had this question.
Hehehe... Wu Hao'e, Yang Fan and the others all laughed.
Wu Hao said with a smile: "Actually, these two have no impact. While we are developing supercomputers, we are also intensively developing quantum computers.
However, due to the current urgent needs, quantum computer technology is not mature enough. Therefore, we decided to develop a supercomputer for use first, which will buy us valuable research and development time, and then develop a more mature quantum computer.
This is just like the aircraft carrier built by our country. Everyone knows that the catapult-type aircraft carrier with direct access to the deck is the best and has the strongest combat effectiveness.
In particular, new super aircraft carriers equipped with electromagnetic catapults are the future development trend. But why did our country build a domestic ski-jump takeoff aircraft carrier when it first built aircraft carriers? Why not directly use electromagnetic catapults once and for all?
Where’s the aircraft carrier?”
After asking this question, Wu Hao glanced at everyone, and then continued: "Time, because of time and practical tasks.
If we go directly to electromagnetic aircraft carriers, it may require a long research and development and manufacturing cycle, which our navy, which is currently in short supply of aircraft carriers, cannot afford to wait.
Therefore, before the new electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier is built, it is more economical to build such a ski jump aircraft carrier for use during the window period.
The same is true for this supercomputer. At this stage, it is unrealistic for us to directly use quantum computers. So let’s first solve the problem of whether we have it. Only by solving the problem that we do have, can we develop better.
"
After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone including Tong Juan nodded. Indeed, for the company at this stage, this kind of supercomputer is the most suitable.
After taking a sip of tea, Wu Hao continued: "It is not enough to have just one server group and data center. Nowadays, Internet companies generally adopt a disaster recovery strategy of two places and three centers. Of course, like in a
Such an enterprise that pays more attention to data security adopts a disaster recovery strategy of five centers in three places."
Looking at the confused looks on some of them, Wu Hao explained: "For Internet IT companies, in today's world of big data applications, data is becoming more and more important. However, a traditional single data center is no longer enough to protect corporate data.
of safety.
When a single data center storage fails, it may cause long-term business interruption or even data loss, resulting in great losses and impacts.
Only local data redundancy protection or disaster recovery construction can no longer avoid the damage to enterprise data caused by regional disasters.
Remote disaster recovery to protect data and ensure enterprise business continuity has become an urgent problem for enterprises to solve. In addition, such enterprises also face problems such as high network link rental costs and insufficient network bandwidth during the construction of remote disaster recovery.
In order to cope with large-scale natural disasters that may occur in a single region, resulting in unexpected situations such as data paralysis or damage, enterprises generally build two or more data centers. In recent years, dual centers in the same city and an off-site disaster recovery center have been adopted.
The disaster recovery model of “two places and three centers” also emerged.
Dual centers in the same city refer to the establishment of two data centers in the same city or adjacent cities that can independently undertake the operation of key systems. They can share the operation of business and management systems at the same time at ordinary times, and can also switch operations at any time. When a disaster strikes, it can ensure that basic
Perform disaster recovery emergency switching without losing data to keep the business running normally."
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone and said: "As you know, although our company's business is currently mainly selling products, it will definitely transform into content services in the future.
This requires a stable and secure data operation center. Just relying on the torch in the new headquarters is definitely not enough. Two data centers need to be established.
One of them will be built in Anxi, and I am still considering the other one."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zou Xiaodong also nodded and said: "This is a trend for large Internet companies. Companies like ALi, Penguin, and Qiandu have established multiple data centers of their own.
Those who often read the news should know that many of these companies have built their data centers in Guizhou Province. It is said that this is because the water resources there are abundant, the temperature is suitable, and it is not in an earthquake zone. More importantly, the electricity price there is relatively cheap.
, and there are relevant policy supports.
In this regard, we have already contacted the local government there, and they are very enthusiastic about it. They even proposed that they would send a working group composed of local leaders to come to Anxi in person to explain their local situation to us face to face."
Wu Hao nodded when he heard this and said: "I am still considering the selection of remote locations. There are many places where we can express our intentions in this regard. We have to think more about which one to choose."
