Cloud Data Center Network Upgrade Solution for a University in Shanghai

Customer Background

A university in Shanghai, with the advent of the information age, finds its existing network inadequate to meet the needs of educational resource sharing, online and remote education. The university's website defense system is weak, making it susceptible to hacking and information leakage, necessitating a cloud data center for network upgrade.

Importance of Network Upgrade

• Enhance Educational Resource Sharing: A cloud data center can centrally store and manage various resources, such as electronic textbooks, courseware, and teaching videos, accessible anytime, anywhere, fostering personalized learning and innovative teaching methods.
• Promote Implementation of Remote Teaching: The construction of a cloud data center provides strong support for online learning platforms, ensuring the quality and effectiveness of online education.
• Support Scientific Research: High-performance data resources from the cloud data center network enhance the research and innovation capabilities of scientific personnel.
• Facilitate Intelligent Campus Construction: With a cloud data center, intelligent management systems such as smart access control, campus cards, and surveillance systems are implemented, improving campus experience and security.

Challenges Faced

• Complex Network Architecture Design: Building an efficient and reliable cloud data center network requires considering redundancy, scalability, and high availability.
• Network Compatibility and Integration: Ensuring seamless connectivity between the cloud data center and existing information systems and applications.
• Data Security Issues: Advanced encryption techniques and access mechanisms are essential to protect sensitive information stored in the data center.
