Large-Capacity Wide-Area Data Express for Scientific Computing Breakthroughs


Description

The explosive growth of data and the breakthrough of AI technology have promoted the development and transformation of the scientific field, and data has become the most important new element for scientific development and breakthroughs.However, at present, the wide-area transmission of large data volumes is still dominated by the physical medium transmission of manual hard disks, which is extremely inefficient, has poor effectiveness, and has great potential security risks. The contradiction between the explosive growth of data and the inefficiency of data transmission is becoming more and more prominent in the field of scientific research. An efficient and economical online data transmission solution is urgently needed for the remote migration of massive data in scientific computing.This project proposes a data express solution and service, based on Computility network, combined with AI intelligent scheduling, to provide efficient, economical, safe and reliable massive data transmission services. Provide a more excellent and efficient data transmission experience for the development of electronic science, and serve major breakthroughs and innovations in electronic science.

Replicability

With the rapid development of the digital economy, the demand for large-scale cross-domain data transmission is increasing, and scenarios such as multi-cloud data backup and data migration to the cloud have higher requirements for the efficiency of online data migration, and it has become an urgent need to realize the efficient transmission of massive data over the WAN.
Relying on China Mobile's advanced Computility network infrastructure, it can provide two types of business models: data express station and direct pass, combined with key technologies such as high throughput, high elasticity and low latency, to maximize the efficiency of online data transmission and provide users with differentiated service capabilities for private line transmission, aggregation transmission and off-peak transmission.At present, the data express service has been applied in the fields of large-scale data disaster recovery storage and astronomical monitoring data transmission, and has a wide range of market demand and growth potential in scenarios such as cloud disaster recovery, film and television editing, scientific computing, and gene sequencing in the future.


Sustainability

At present, the world is experiencing a new round of technological and industrial revolution, opening a new chapter of digital transformation. With the acceleration of digital transformation and the explosive growth of data volumes, more and more data needs to be transmitted and processed on the Internet, and the data express business can provide efficient, economical, safe and reliable data transmission services to meet the growing market demand.
The data express service provided based on the Computility network has been applied in large-scale data disaster recovery storage, astronomy and other fields, and nearly 3,000 data service lines have been opened. China Mobile, the National Astronomical Observatories and other units have completed long-distance high-throughput tests of more than 2,200 kilometers, and used the network to stably transmit more than 40TB of data every day during idle hours, successfully saving data transmission time by 50%, saving computing power costs by more than 40%, and improving computing efficiency by more than 300%.
At the same time, the efficient data transmission service also promotes the optimal layout of data centers across the country and the improvement of energy efficiency. Data centers are prioritized in areas with abundant green energy, such as Guiyang and Zhongwei, which have abundant wind, solar, and hydro energy resources. Based on this layout optimization, the power transmission loss is reduced by 5.63%, and the power consumption of the data center is reduced by 20%.
The data express service promotes the flow of data elements to underdeveloped regions, drives the introduction and development of regional materials, capital, talents, and technologies, and effectively promotes regional economic growth. In the future, with the expansion from the field of scientific computing to telemedicine, remote industry and agriculture and other industries, an industrial chain of more than 10 billion yuan will be created in underdeveloped areas.


WSIS values promotion

The data express service proposed in this project can provide efficient, economical, secure and reliable data transmission services, effectively improve data transmission efficiency, promote cross-regional and cross-field data sharing and cooperation, enhance data security, reduce data transmission costs, promote the rapid development of scientific computing fields such as astronomy, gene sequencing, meteorology, etc., promote scientific and technological innovation and social progress, and also promote the development of computing power economy in underdeveloped areas, promote the use of green energy, and reduce overall social carbon emissions. This project has broad application prospects. Driven by this project, China Mobile is promoting the Eastern Data and Western Computing Project, transmitting data and applications from economically developed areas in the east to computing centers in economically underdeveloped areas in the west for storage, backup and computing, making more use of green and low-carbon energy in the west, further developing the computing power economy in underdeveloped areas, and improving the resource utilization rate of the whole society. It also provides a low-latency and low-cost transmission method for data transmission in the field of scientific computing to large-scale supercomputing centers and intelligent computing centers, and promotes the development of scientific computing. This is also in line with the objectives of the WSIS Action Plan to strengthen the innovation and application of ICT infrastructure technologies and contribute to the sustainable development of human society and the global environment. In addition, China Mobile is also conducting in-depth exchanges and cooperation with its international counterparts to provide strong support for the sustainable development of the computing economy industry in underdeveloped international regions through exploratory promotion of the project.
