Chapter 1777 Take IBM as a background board
"what happened?"

Zhou Buqi still pays more attention to 12306. For a website with this level of traffic, it is definitely not enough to rely on the official level. Even if it is famous, it is nonsense to invite a bunch of academicians and professors as consultants.If you want to play traffic fun and understand, you still need a big Internet company.In the previous life, Aliyun helped to do it, and Ziweiyun must undertake this task in this life.

Cheng Binghao was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

He Yang said strangely: "Isn't 12306 the first edition? You can only check tickets, but you can't buy tickets. According to what you said, you can only read, not write. I read the official statement, saying that it will be officially published next year. Buy tickets online on a partial trial."

Cheng Binghao said, "What you're talking about is just the C side."

"what?"

He Yang didn't quite understand.

Cheng Binghao said: "This website has been around for more than ten years, but it is the internal system of the railway. When you go to the railway station to buy tickets, you first handwritten the ticket, and later it became a computer ticket. This online system is 12306. This year, the system was released to the public, and the public can also rely on this system to check train tickets online."

In fact, there were also a few years ago.

For example, the railway network, train ticket network, train network, etc., can check train tickets online, and even book tickets.However, these are not official websites, they are made by the agents of ticket buying points, such as travel agencies, hotels, and ticketing centers.

This is a third-party platform, and you need to apply to the official. After approval, you can connect to the internal 12306, and you can check the status of the train ticket through the Internet.

Xiaonei, which serves college students, has launched a train ticket inquiry service.

Every winter and summer vacation, college students need to buy tickets when they go home, and many of them will use the "Train Ticket Inquiry" service on the Xiaonei website to check the status of train tickets.

This means that the traffic will burst out concentratedly.

For Xiaonei, the traffic of college students is nothing.But the Xiaonei network is just a transfer platform, and it is connected to 12306 through the interface, and the pressure there will be great.In order to ensure the stability of the system, the interface of the intranet will be temporarily closed.

Now, 12306 is open to the whole society.

There is no need to close the interface of the intranet.

Previously, even college students could not bear this burst of traffic. One can imagine how many times there will be failures to meet the ticketing inquiry needs of the whole society.

In order to solve this problem, the 12306 system has to be shut down for 6-8 hours at night every day for system maintenance and cache cleaning.This is only a temporary solution, not a root cause, and cannot solve the fundamental problem.

Zhou Buqi was very concerned about this matter, and he was surprised when he heard Lao Cheng say this, "It can't be a system, right? Isn't it separated?"

Cheng Binghao said: "The specific situation is not clear, and we have never met insiders. However, the data of train time inquiries, fares, and remaining tickets must be unified, and the background must be consistent. The inseparation of reading and writing means that the front-end traffic It will affect the calculations in the background. Recently, I am bidding, and I want to solve a difficult problem.”

Zhou Buqi asked: "What is it?"

Cheng Binghao said: "When the train station conductors issue tickets, they will encounter system freezes and various failures. Sometimes they cannot issue a ticket for 20 minutes, and it is all on the news. Later, I asked someone to find out the reason. It was a netizen. We use 12306 too many times in a short period of time, which takes up too much computing power. The 'reading' end takes up too many resources, resulting in insufficient computing power on the 'writing' end, and it gets stuck. "

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi was dizzy.

The e-commerce with Suning is really like a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.

Cheng Binghao said: "This problem is very simple to solve. The most simple and rude way is to increase the number of servers. It is not difficult. Anyone can solve it through random bidding. However, this is just an indicator. If there is no improvement in the overall architecture design With the upgrade and breakthrough, when 12306 opens the online ticket purchase business next year, the "writing" function will really be needed on the Internet, and the combination of internal and external will be the real big trouble."

Zhou Buqi waved his hand, "There will definitely be troubles. The traffic during the Spring Festival travel season must be half of the traffic during the group buying on campus? Such a high traffic, they must not be able to support it. Let's ignore this matter, don't be hot-faced and cold-ass. When they have suffered all kinds of setbacks and have no choice but to be scolded by people all over the country, they will take the initiative to ask us for help. If they don’t suffer some setbacks, they don’t know how strong Ziweixing’s technical strength is. It’s a matter of waiting and watching, but Suning You can be more active here."

Cheng Binghao was very helpless and embarrassed, "The contract has been signed, and Suning.com has fully used IBM's WCS architecture."

Zhou Buqi said: "What's the use of signing it? Didn't you say that the structure was more than ten years ago, and it's useless at all!"

Cheng Binghao shook his head, "The Suning people don't understand."

Zhou Buqi said: "You explain to them!"

"How to explain?" Cheng Binghao looked innocent and complicated, "Will they believe it? They have been in strategic cooperation with IBM for 5 years, and the cooperation is so pleasant. Who do you think they will believe? Of the ten thousand Internet companies, only Suning has purchased and used IBM's WCS framework system. I also checked the relevant news, and guess what? Their statement is still very proud, saying that Suning.com is the only one in China that has deployed it. What kind of e-commerce platform of IBM's large-scale framework system is still showing off!"

Zhou Buqi said: "No matter what, we should talk to the Suning people, tell them the truth, explain how backward IBM's solution is, and how advanced Ziweixing's solution is. Last month's 91 Shopping Festival, the traffic of Xiaonei.com How many?"

He Yang said: "At the peak, there were 1600 million people online at the same time."

Such a data is actually not worth mentioning at all.

There are at least 15-20 domestic Internet companies that can afford it.

Cheng Binghao waved his hand, "Don't compare Suning with us, there is no comparison. A load of 1600 million is nothing to us. Helo and Friends.com are all in units of [-] million. Suning is far behind."

Zhou Buqi asked: "How much can they bear? How much can Suning bear?"

Cheng Binghao thought for a while, then curled his lips, "It doesn't take much, as long as 50 people are online at the same time, it is enough to crash their systems and shut down their servers."

"Isn't that worse than JD.com's current structure?"

"Not far!"

"I go!"

Zhou Buqi didn't know what to say.

Suning wants to transform into an online business because the offline business has already beaten Gome to the ground, so it wants to develop an online business and further occupy the market.

In the online market, 3C home appliances are the main sales products of JD.com, and it is so strong in this respect that its main competitor, Yi Xun, can only work hard in the field of 3C small home appliances.

Of course, Suning is not satisfied. Suning has the largest, most complete, and most mature 3C home appliance supply chain system in the country, and they can get the lowest supply price in the country.

So when it came up, it was very aggressive, directly spending hundreds of millions of dollars under the one-stop bundled sales model of IBM's architecture system, software, and hardware. If you want to eat a fat man with one bite, it seems that you can beat JD.

However, the platform structure that JD.com wants to give up is stronger than the structure that Suning has spent tens of millions of dollars to buy.

This is simply a joke.

"However, this is a good thing for Ziwei Star."

He Yang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, and understood why Boss Zhou paid so much attention to this case.

"Ok?"

Cheng Binghao raised his eyebrows.

He Yang squinted his eyes and said, "In the outsourcing field of IT technology projects, how can Ziweixing Engineering Institute rank in China?"

Cheng Binghao shook his head, "The gap with the top three is too big. IBM, SAP, and Oracle can't even compare to Microsoft. Just think about it. Even a deep partner like JD.com has used Microsoft's services in the past few years. Let's If they don’t show up this time, they will find Oracle to cooperate.”

"Is there a big gap in technology?"

"They are strong in B-end products, such as enterprise management, financial software, ERP, etc. The engineering institute is doing C-end business, extracting these business frameworks and middle-end systems under Ziweixing, and making some modifications and adjustments , packaged and sold. We are making Internet products that are directly oriented to users. In this respect, of course we are stronger.”

He Yang nodded, and said slowly: "But in fact, domestic counterparts trust Silicon Valley giants such as IBM and Oracle more."

Cheng Binghao sighed, "Yes, worshiping foreigners!"

"What worships foreigners?" Zhou Buqi was a little amused, "That's because there are too many people who don't know much about this industry. They don't have a precise concept, and they can't tell whether it is IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP or other overseas companies. Technology giants are powerful, but the high-end customized technology of Ziweixing Engineering Institute is better. Because I can’t tell the difference, I can only go to foreign companies to buy services according to the inherent thinking. This is the choice of insurance.”

Cheng Binghao said: "Well, almost. As long as Ziwei Cloud develops and establishes a firm foothold overseas, colleagues will realize Ziwei Star's strong strength in the field of technology, and they will look at the engineering institute that provides outsourcing services with special respect."

"Cloud computing is the future, and this matter is too long." He Yang shook his head, "If the business of the engineering institute wants to start quickly, it needs an immediate booster."

"Oh?" Cheng Binghao's eyes lit up, knowing that Boss He would not say such words casually, he quickly realized, "Is it related to the cooperation between Suning and IBM?"

He Yang said sternly: "IBM is a foreign company, so you don't need to be too polite, you might as well use IBM as the background board!"

This idea is completely consistent with Zhou Buqi!
He is such a big boss, and he is busy with affairs. Under normal circumstances, he really doesn't pay special attention to an outsourcing project of the Engineering Academy.Unless this project has strategic significance.

Zhou Buqi said indifferently: "Comparison is often better to show strength. Suning.com is a big stage for technical performances. Create an environment for domestic counterparts to open their eyes and see whether IBM is stronger or Ziweixing. Strong! This time, we will step on IBM's shoulders to dominate the world!"
