Has Yang Fan changed? Wu Hao shook his head. Yang Fan has not changed, but everyone here has changed. As their people rose in wealth and status, they also changed. This is a natural thing, but the original ambitions and ideals have gradually become blurred. This is what we often say has lost its enterprising spirit.
But Yang Fan is different. These wealth and status have not changed him. In fact, it has to do with the fact that he doesn't have much personal time. Since he was asked to take over the R&D department, he has basically spent all his time in the R&D department, so how can he enjoy the changes brought about by his 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 by Yang Fan in such an understatement.
I have a question. I heard that G Song 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, before Tong Juan came. 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.
Hahahaha... 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.
It's just that because of 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 domestically produced ski-jump take-off aircraft carrier when it first built its aircraft carrier? Why not go directly to the electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier once and for all? "
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 affordable to build such a ski-jump takeoff 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 whether we have this problem. Only by solving this problem first can we develop better. "
After hearing Wu Hao's explanation, everyone including Tong Juan nodded. Indeed, this kind of supercomputer is most suitable for the company at this stage.
After taking a sip of tea, Wu Hao continued: "It is not enough to have only one server group and data center. Nowadays, Internet companies generally adopt a disaster recovery strategy of two places and three centers. Of course, like 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, the traditional single data center is no longer enough to protect corporate data. safety.
When a single data center storage fails, it may cause long-term business interruption or even data loss, resulting in huge 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 remote disaster recovery construction.
In order to cope with large-scale natural disasters that may occur in a single area, leading to unexpected situations such as data paralysis or damage, companies generally build two or more data centers. In recent years, the disaster recovery model of “three centers in two places” with dual centers in the same city and a remote disaster recovery center has also emerged.
Dual centers in the same city refer to the establishment of two data centers in the same city or neighboring cities that can independently undertake the operation of key systems. They can share the operation of business and management systems at the same time, and can switch operations at any time. When a disaster strikes, disaster recovery emergency switching can be ensured without basically losing data, and the business can continue to run normally. "
Speaking of this, Wu Hao glanced at everyone and said: "As you know, although our company's business is currently focused on 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 is 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 it 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. It was even proposed that a working group composed of local leaders would be sent 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."
