Top of the Great Era

Cheng Binghao said: "It's not Suning.com's website that crashed this time, but the data center of IBM that operates the website. It will be very difficult to repair."

Zhou Buqi asked, "How long will it take?"

"At least a few days."

Cheng Binghao gave some explanations.

The previous times when Suning.com’s website crashed, it was like a bridge. Too many people crossing the bridge caused congestion, which would cause large-scale congestion.

In theory, as long as everyone on the bridge is cleared, traffic can be resumed, which is relatively easy.

This time it was troublesome, the bridge collapsed.

This is a serious technical failure. IBM's cloud computing platform lacks a distributed fault-tolerant mechanism, and cannot be partially repaired like Ziwei Cloud and Amazon Cloud.

For example, Amazon Cloud has had two serious accidents this year, but it can be recovered within a day.This recovery is not to repair the bridge, but to repair it step by step.

Let’s fix part of it first, and then clear the road first.

Then slowly rebuild the entire bridge.

In fact, it is the role of the elastic cloud, which can repair, improve, and put into use the fragments. IBM's set will not work. Either the entire data center will be restored to use, or it will be completely shut down.

Zhou Buqi said: "Now the cooperation between Suning and Xiaonei can't go on."

"Yes, Suning.com's website can be restored soon. It will be removed from IBM's data center and returned to the local server. However, it will definitely not be able to withstand the traffic of group buying on campus."

"Now Boss Zhang should learn from the pain."

"Almost." Cheng Binghao smiled, "And IBM's other outsourcing customers, mainly around Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jinling, will be affected by the collapse of IBM's data center."

Zhou Buqi pondered for a long time, then said slowly: "Where is He Yang? What did he say?"

Cheng Binghao said: "He said that this matter should be handled with caution. The collapse of IBM's data center has spread a lot. Even though IBM is a foreign company, the customers they serve are all domestic government and enterprise units. Ziwei Star can't deal with this kind of business. Destroy things to touch."

Zhou Buqi took it for granted, "Yes! Boss He's thinking is right. IBM's data center collapsed. It has nothing to do with us. It's their own lack of technology and self-defeating. Ziweixing is only targeting Suning Tesco. Ziweixing can't do it this time. Get ahead and only operate Suning.com!"

Cheng Binghao understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we can't grab it if we want. IBM's outsourcing projects are mainly software services, which is not our field of expertise."

It stands to reason that something happened on IBM's side.

From the perspective of business competition, Ziweixing Engineering Institute should take the initiative to find those affected IBM customers and invite them to sign contracts with Ziweixing.

But this look is too ugly.

too obvious.

It is inevitable that people will suspect that Ziweixing is doing damage in the industry for its own benefit, which will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, even if Ziweixing Engineering Institute wanted to grab it, it was actually not strong enough.

IBM is the largest IT service outsourcing manufacturer in the world. Its main direction is software service outsourcing, and it specializes in developing some B-end products and services for major companies.

The outsourcing services that Ziweixing Engineering Institute is going to do are actually Internet-based services, such as designing a set of personalized product recommendation systems, big data storage systems, etc. for JD.com and Dangdang.

Industry specializing in surgery.

The outsourcing projects that Suning.com needs are obviously Internet services.This is the specialty of Ziweixing, but not the field that IBM is good at. If IBM bites the bullet, it will inevitably make a fool of itself.

In the same way, if Ziweixing snatches those software service outsourcing customers from IBM, it will definitely not be able to handle it well, or it will be the same as IBM's Internet outsourcing services in the end.

Zhou Buqi said: "He Yang is in charge of this matter, and we have to separate the relationship. IBM's customers are all big. If they misunderstand and think that Ziweixing is using them as a backstop to compete with IBM, they will Create some unnecessary trouble."

Cheng Binghao was relatively relaxed about this, and said with a smile: "It has nothing to do with us in the first place. It is IBM's own disappointment that has a technical failure, and no one can blame it."

"What about Suning? Do they have any feedback?"

"not yet."

"Not yet?" Zhou Buqi calculated the time, "Has the technical failure occurred for more than an hour?"

Cheng Binghao smiled and said, "Yes, maybe they are still evaluating internally."

Zhou Buqi said: "According to previous experience, that boss Zhang is not procrastinating. There is no news this time... I guess he has to make some important decisions."

Cheng Binghao agreed, "It's possible."

Zhou Buqi said: "Okay, let's do this first, you can communicate with He Yang again...IBM has an accident, don't add trouble to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Let's just wait and see what happens. With Suning.com in hand, it is enough!"

After finishing the call with He Yang, Zhou Buqi got in touch with Zhang Xuhao and told him that the experiment of group buying on campus could be over.Facts have proved that the cooperation between on-campus group buying and external third-party e-commerce platforms is very ineffective. It did not bring real benefits to college students, but reduced the shopping experience.From now on, on-campus group buying will not try similar practices again.

After finishing all this, Zhou Buqi stretched his waist and found Sun Wanran standing aside, his big eyes blinking, curious and confused.

Zhou Buqi laughed and said: "What are you doing? Go! Go back to sleep, what time is it?!"

Sun Guanran was surprised and said, "Can you fall asleep?"

"Why not?"

"Didn't Suning and IBM both collapse..."

"What's this?" Zhou Buqi didn't care, took her soft little hand, and walked out of the study together, "It's easier than I imagined, I thought it would take a little more trouble, and even play some dirty tricks." What about the means. I didn’t expect IBM to be in a mess, and I don’t need to take action. This is the best, and everyone is happy.”

Sun Guanran turned to look at him, "Then you said that IBM's clients are very powerful, and they need to control the field, so as not to cause misunderstandings..."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, it's like... It looks like a person jumped off the building, you have to stay away, lest innocent people get blood splashed all over."

"Bah, bah, it's the middle of the night, don't scare people!"

Sun Guanran gave him a white look, and let out an annoyance.

Zhou Buqi said unhurriedly: "IBM's outsourcing business is mainly engaged in software services, and Ziweixing Engineering Institute is mainly engaged in Internet services. In fact, there is no competition. They do whatever they like. Anyway, I have already opened up the situation. How domestic counterparts choose is up to them, and I am not interested in leading them.”

Sun Guanran tilted his head and asked, "What about Lufthansa's IT infrastructure department?"

Zhou Buqi explained: "The IT infrastructure department is part of the system department. The outsourcing business in the system department is also divided into solution and software outsourcing, and Internet service outsourcing. The other two departments are not sold by Lufthansa. It is the infrastructure department related to Internet outsourcing services. Even if Ziweixing enters the outsourcing industry, it will only operate in Internet-related fields."

Sun Guanran's beautiful eyes flashed, and he said with a light smile: "The case of Suning.com is enough to show that IBM is no good in this field. At that time, IBM will not have the confidence to bid for the IT infrastructure department of Lufthansa. Maybe they will completely abandon the outsourcing market of Internet services, so as not to make a fool of themselves again."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "Almost! Let's go, go to sleep!"

It is really a surprise that IBM and Suning are in disarray.

Now it's easy.

Just wait for the result.

Zhou Buqi felt very sure.

Unless Boss Zhang is really completely brainwashed, so many things have happened, he must have woken up and realized the shortcomings of IBM.

IBM broke down its own data center, which shows that they are not good at this field.

I haven't received any feedback from Suning for a long time. It is estimated that Boss Zhang is making a very difficult decision.After all, Suning has already invested more than 2 million U.S. dollars in IBM. It really takes some courage and spirit to make a cut under such circumstances.

In the previous life, the changes made by Suning.com were actually pressure from JD.com.That was all three or four years later. At that time, JD.com had already grown in scale, and it would compete with Suning in the 3C home appliance market.

Suning.com has also played a price war, and both sides are almost selling at a loss.

As a result, the website traffic of Suning.com and JD.com both increased sharply in a short period of time, and a large number of users flooded in.JD.com has already completed the upgrade of its website structure, and it can easily cope with heavy traffic.

But Suning can't do it.

Relying on IBM's architecture system, it can't handle a little more traffic, and Suning.com's website is frequently paralyzed.Liu Qiangdong was still a celebrity on Weibo at the time, so he openly sarcastically sarcastically.

When Boss Zhang saw it, he really had no choice.

The group is fighting a price war with JD.com at all costs, and the result is good. IBM keeps experiencing technical failures, making Suning.com a laughing stock.

There is no way, Suning.com can only break the teeth and swallow in the stomach, stop the loss and give up IBM's set.

Fortunately, the open source framework of the Internet at that time was already very mature. Even if the technical level of Suning.com was not very good, it could be applied with the open source framework and a little modification.

Effect of the bar!
A hundred times stronger than IBM's set.

Since then, Suning.com has been able to get rid of the technical burden and become a mainstream e-commerce platform.Later, Ali and Suning reached an in-depth strategic cooperation, and Suning.com's technical system became more mature, and there were no technical failures anymore.

But it's only 2010 now.

The open source frameworks of e-commerce websites are very immature and are still in the stage of development, testing and design.Not to mention Suning, apart from Internet giants like Ziweixing and BAT in China, no other Internet company can even think about self-development.

BAT does not do this kind of outsourcing business. If Suning.com wants to transform the website structure, there is only one way to go in Huashan—to ask Ziweixing for help.

Don't worry about Zhou Buqi, everything is ready.
