Zhejiang University, in collaboration with Information2, has successfully established the “Zhejiang University Cloud Backup Sharing Center” with an innovative cloud backup solution as its core. This center not only enables cross-campus real-time access and efficient management of data but also sets a new benchmark for data security and business continuity assurance.

As Zhejiang University’s informationization construction progresses, the volume of data has grown rapidly, highlighting the increasing demand for data security and cross-campus real-time access. Considering issues such as dispersed campuses, massive data volumes, diverse terminal types, and weak security, Zhejiang University decided to build the “Zhejiang University Cloud Backup Sharing Center” to achieve centralized management, efficient backup, and cross-campus real-time access of data. This center is expected to provide data backup services for 10,000 users, covering a large number of Windows 7/8 and Windows Server terminals within the school. Each terminal has a vast number of files, with concurrent user numbers expected to reach around one thousand.

In response to the actual needs of Zhejiang University, Information2 provided a cloud backup solution based on i2COPY. This solution achieves efficient data backup, real-time monitoring, and remote access through the following key steps:

• Real-time Backup Protection: Utilizing i2COPY technology, Zhejiang University can realize real-time backup protection for various types of data. User terminals automatically back up data to the cloud backup sharing center in real-time through existing lines or dedicated lines, ensuring data security and integrity.
• Dynamic Resource Allocation: The cloud backup sharing center adopts an elastic resource allocation model, dynamically expanding and allocating server numbers based on business needs. Generally, one shared center server can meet the needs of 300 user terminals. Depending on the daily data change volume, Zhejiang University can dynamically adjust the number of servers through the Web console to maximize resource utilization.
• Efficient Recovery and Remote Access: In abnormal situations, Zhejiang University can quickly recover relevant data through the cloud backup sharing center. Additionally, the center supports cross-campus real-time access, ensuring data convenience and availability.
• CDP Protection and Hardware Independence: Information2’s cloud backup solution implements CDP (Continuous Data Protection) functionality independent of hardware. When data anomalies occur, Zhejiang University can quickly recover relevant data on different platforms through a graphical management tool, significantly improving data recovery flexibility and efficiency.

Data Security and Integrity Guaranteed: Real-time backup and CDP functions ensure data security and integrity in any situation, reducing the risk of data loss and damage.

Cross-Campus Real-Time Access and Efficient Management: The cloud backup sharing center supports cross-campus real-time access, enhancing data convenience and availability. Additionally, dynamic resource allocation and graphical management tools enable efficient data management, reducing operational costs.

Cost Savings on Hardware and Software: The elastic resource allocation model of cloud backup meets business expansion and data growth needs. Based on on-demand allocation, it saves Zhejiang University the cost of establishing multiple dedicated disaster recovery centers for hardware and software.

Enjoying High-Performance Cloud Computing Services: Through the cloud backup sharing center, Zhejiang University can access massive storage and high-performance cloud computing services, providing strong support for the school’s informationization construction.

In response to the protection needs of multiple core Web applications and important data files of various departments and faculties, East China Normal University has collaborated with Information2 to create a comprehensive data protection and business continuity solution that integrates high availability for Web systems, private cloud backup, and online hot migration of old systems. This solution provides strong support for the school’s information construction.

East China Normal University boasts numerous core Web applications and key business system servers. These systems not only undertake important tasks such as teaching management and scientific research collaboration but also store a vast amount of data related to teachers and students. Faced with the potential risk of data loss, the university urgently requires an efficient and reliable solution to ensure data security and business continuity.

Specific needs include: high availability for Web systems to ensure stable operation under any circumstances; private cloud backup to achieve cloud storage and real-time access to data; and online hot migration of old systems to ensure smooth migration of existing systems to a new disaster recovery environment without affecting business operations.

Addressing the specific needs of East China Normal University, Information2 has provided the following solutions:

• High Availability for Web Systems: By deploying the i2Availability solution, a high-availability configuration for Web systems has been achieved. This solution can automatically detect and respond to system failures, ensuring that in the event of a failure, the system can quickly switch to a standby server, thereby guaranteeing continuous business operation.
• Private Cloud Backup: Utilizing the Information2 private cloud disaster recovery management platform, a dedicated cloud backup environment has been built for East China Normal University. This platform supports multi-tenant management and pay-as-you-go pricing, significantly reducing the hardware and software costs of the disaster recovery center. Meanwhile, through cloud storage, real-time backup and cross-campus access to data are achieved, ensuring data security and convenience.
• Online Hot Migration of Old Systems: The i2Move online system migration solution is adopted to realize real-time migration of relevant server data to the disaster recovery server. This solution is based on byte-level data replication technology, greatly reducing the amount of data transmission and ensuring real-time synchronization of data in environments with narrow bandwidth, long distances, cross-platforms, and massive data. At the same time, the migration process is imperceptible to users, ensuring business continuity.

  In the wave of digital transformation, data security and business continuity have become core elements that cannot be ignored across all industries. As a key institution handling massive sensitive data, CESIS is well aware of its importance and has partnered with Information2 to build an efficient and reliable disaster recovery protection system to ensure the safety of data and the continuous and stable operation of its business.

  Customer Challenges

  ---

  CESIS, as a key institution dealing with massive amounts of small files such as texts and photos, as well as unstructured data, stores data in its production system that is not only crucial for the normal operation of the center but also directly affects the information security of numerous international students. In light of the severe consequences that data loss may bring, CESIS decided to build a comprehensive disaster recovery protection system to ensure the dual safety of data and business.

  I2 Solution

  ---

  To achieve this goal, CESIS adopted the following construction plan:

  • i2NAS Synchronization Rules: By setting i2NAS synchronization rules, the massive heterogeneous data in the production system is synchronized to the local disaster recovery center in near real-time. At the same time, dynamic bandwidth limitation is implemented to minimize the impact on front-end business during the synchronization of massive data.
  • Dual Network Cards for Internal and External Network Separation: The disaster recovery center uses an all-in-one machine configured with dual network cards to achieve complete separation of the internal and external networks. This design not only connects the local, disaster recovery, and cloud ends but also ensures normal communication among the three points, further enhancing system security and stability.
  • i2CDP Continuous Data Protection: Utilizing i2CDP technology, continuous data protection is achieved from the local disaster recovery center to the Beijing Yizhuang and Suzhou cloud ends. When the local production center encounters potential threats such as logical errors or ransomware attacks, the data on the two cloud ends can be rolled back to any point in time according to the set priority, with an extremely high data recovery granularity of up to one millionth.
