Top of the big era

Cheng Binghao said: "This time it was not Suning.com's website that crashed, but the IBM data center 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 on this.

The past few 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 restored, which is relatively easy.

This time there was trouble, 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 experienced two serious changes this year, but it only took one day to recover. This restoration does not mean repairing the bridge, but repairing it step by step.

Let’s repair part of it first and clear the road first.

Then slowly the entire bridge will be renovated.

In fact, it is the role of elastic cloud, which can repair, improve and put into use the shards. IBM's approach will not work. Either the entire data center will be restored to use or all will be deactivated.

Zhou Buqi said: "Now the cooperation between Suning and Xiaonei Network can no longer proceed at all."

"Yes, Suning.com's website can be restored soon. It can 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 on-campus group buying."

"Boss Zhang should have learned a painful lesson now."

"Absolutely." 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 and said slowly: "Where is He Yang? What did he say?"

Cheng Binghao said: "He said that this matter should be handled with caution. IBM's data center collapse has a large impact. Even though IBM is a foreign company, the customers they serve are domestic government and enterprise units. Ziweixing cannot do this. It’s all about destruction.”

Zhou Buqi believed deeply, "Yes! Boss He's idea is right. IBM's data center collapsed and it had nothing to do with us. It was their own fault because of their insufficient technology. Ziweixing only targeted Suning.com. Ziweixing cannot do this this time Go 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 even if we want to. IBM's outsourcing projects are mainly software services. This is not our area 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 eating scene is too ugly.

Too obvious.

It is inevitable that people will suspect that Ziweixing is sabotaging the industry for its own interests, which will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Moreover, even if Ziweixing Engineering Academy wants to snatch it, it actually doesn't have enough strength.

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

The outsourcing services provided by Ziweixing Engineering Institute are actually Internet-based services, such as designing a personalized product recommendation system, big data storage system, etc. for JD.com and Dangdang.

Industry specializing in surgery.

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

In the same way, if Ziweixing seizes IBM's software service outsourcing customers, it will definitely not be able to handle it well. It might end up like IBM's Internet outsourcing service.

Zhou Buqi said: "Let He Yang take control of the overall situation and clear up the relationship. IBM's customers are all well-established. If they misunderstand and think that Ziweixing is using them as a backing to compete with IBM, it will be a big mistake." Cause unnecessary trouble."

Cheng Binghao was relatively relaxed about this and said with a smile: "It had nothing to do with us in the first place. It was IBM itself that failed to live up to its expectations and had a technical failure. I can't blame anyone."

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

"not yet."

"Not yet?" Zhou Buqi counted the time, "It's been more than an hour since the technical failure occurred, right?"

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

Zhou Buqi said: "Based on previous experiences, that boss Zhang is not procrastinating. There has been 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 for now. You and He Yang have another communication... Something happened to IBM. Don't add insult to injury and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Let's just wait and see what happens. With Suning.com in hand, it's enough!"

After ending the call with He Yang, Zhou Buqi contacted Zhang Xuhao and told him that the on-campus group buying experiment was over. Facts have proved that the cooperation between on-campus group buying and external third-party e-commerce platforms is very ineffective. It does not bring real benefits to college students, but instead reduces the shopping experience. From now on, on-campus group buying will not try similar practices again.

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

Zhou Buqi said with a smile: "What are you doing? Let's go! Go back to bed, what time is it?!"

Sun Wanran was surprised and said: "Can you sleep?"

"Why not?"

"Suning and IBM both collapsed..."

"What's this?" Zhou Buqi didn't care. He took her soft little hand and walked out of the study together. "It's easier than I thought. I thought it would take a little more work, or even some shady tricks." What's the method? I didn't expect that IBM would get into trouble and there would be no need for me to take action. This is best, everyone will be happy."

Sun Wanran turned to look at him, "Then you are saying that IBM's customers are very powerful. We need to control the situation and not cause misunderstandings..."

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, just like... it looks like someone jumped off the building. You have to stay away to avoid innocent blood being splashed all over."

"Bah, bah, bah, it's so late at night, don't scare people!"

Sun Wanran rolled her eyes at him and yelled.

Zhou Buqi said unhurriedly: "IBM's outsourcing business mainly deals in software services, and Ziweixing Engineering Institute mainly deals in Internet services. In fact, there is no competition. They can do whatever they like. Anyway, I have opened the situation. How domestic colleagues choose to do this depends on them, and I am not interested in rising up to lead them."

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

Zhou Buqi explained: "The IT Infrastructure Department is subordinate to the System Department. The outsourcing business in the System Department is also divided into the outsourcing of solutions and software, and the outsourcing of Internet services. Lufthansa does not sell the other two departments; 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 Wanran's beautiful eyes flashed and she said with a chuckle: "The case of Suning.com is enough to show that IBM is no longer good in this field. By then, IBM will no longer have the confidence to bid for the IT infrastructure department of Lufthansa." Maybe they will give up the Internet service outsourcing market completely to avoid making a fool of themselves again.”

Zhou Buqi smiled and said: "That's about it! Let's go to bed!"

IBM and Suning are in disarray, which is really an unexpected surprise.

It's easy now.

Just wait for the results.

Zhou Buqi felt confident.

Unless Boss Zhang has been completely brainwashed, he must have woken up and realized IBM's shortcomings after so many things happened.

IBM has crashed its own data center, which shows that they are simply not good in this field.

I haven't received any feedback from Suning for a long time. I guess Boss Zhang is making a very difficult decision. After all, Suning has invested more than 200 million US dollars in IBM. If you want to make a cut in this situation, you really need some courage and courage.

In the previous life, the changes made by Suning.com were actually due to pressure from JD.com. That was three or four years later. By then, JD.com had already grown in scale and was competing with Suning in the 3C home appliance market.

Suning.com has also started a price war, with both parties almost selling at a loss.

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

But Suning can't.

Backed by IBM's architecture system, it could not handle even a little more traffic, and Suning.com's website was frequently paralyzed. Liu Qiangdong was still a Weibo celebrity at the time, and he openly sarcastically spoke loudly.

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

The group is fighting a price war with JD.com at all costs, but the results are good. IBM continues to have technical failures, making Suning.com a laughing stock.

There was no other way. Suning.com could only break its teeth and swallow it, cut its losses and gave up on IBM's plan.

Fortunately, the open source framework of the Internet at that time was already very mature. Even if Suning.com's technical level was not very good, it could still apply the open source framework with slight modifications.

The effect is amazing!

It's a hundred times better than IBM's.

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

But it’s only 2010.

The open source frameworks of e-commerce websites are very immature and are still in the development, testing and design stages. Not to mention Suning, except for domestic Internet giants such as Ziweixing and BAT, no other Internet company can even think of self-research.

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

There’s no need to worry if Zhou Buqi is there, everything is ready.
