Recently, the "Ninth China Industry Internet Conference and CIO Class 18th Anniversary Annual Meeting" hosted by CIO Times was held in Beijing. The theme of this event is "Digital Transformation in the Big Model Era", focusing on the new generation of technological innovation and industrial innovation. As a neutral and secure cloud vendor, UCloud was invited to attend the conference and demonstrated the latest construction results of the "Eastern Digital and Western Calculation" data center and the large-scale model computing power base
An award ceremony for outstanding digital solution providers was held at the conference site to commend companies that have outstanding performance in technological innovation and digital solutions. The selection criteria include four aspects: innovative functions, technology, practicality and stability of the solutions. Because UCloud has profound accumulation in the field of cloud computing and has made important contributions to the digital transformation of the industry, it won the title of "Golden Number Award·Excellent Digital Solution Provider in 2023"
Actively responding to the national strategy of “Data from the East to the West”, UCloud has built two self-built data centers respectively located in the Inner Mongolia Jining Big Data Industrial Park and the Eastern Hub in the western hub of the national computing network. Shanghai Qingpu Industrial Park, the starting point of the Yangtze River Delta hub, has currently obtained the Class A data center certificate issued by the China Quality Certification Center. It is a high-standard and high-quality data center. UCloud has obtained It has one-stop delivery capabilities for the entire life cycle of computer rooms from computer room consultation, planning, construction, delivery, operation and maintenance, etc., and provides large-scale, customized hybrid solutions for medium and large enterprises through the layout planning of "front shop and back factory". Cloud deployment solutions.
Shanghai Qingpu Data Center is positioned as the "front store". The overall construction area is 54,000 square meters, with 5 data center computer room buildings and comprehensive supporting areas planned. The number of designed cabinets exceeds 5,000R. The first phase has been commercially launched in January 2023. Because it is backed by the Yangtze River Delta, it will carry the core computing business of enterprises and businesses with high time-efficiency requirements, bringing higher computing power and lower latency experience to the rapid development of user businesses.
The Ulanqab Data Center is located in the "back factory" with a total construction area of 140,000 square meters and a number of cabinets exceeding 12,000R. The center is strategically located and has the advantages of safety and stability, low electricity prices, and low-temperature natural cooling. It is very suitable for users who have low requirements on location and network latency, pay attention to cost control, have expansion needs, and have high demand for data computing and storage
As the popularity of large models continues to rise, various The rush to launch similar domestically produced large models has also created a demand for large-scale computing power clusters. At the same time, storage performance, network bandwidth, training cost, security guarantee, etc. have become a series of challenges affecting the development of large models.
The Ulanqab Data Center is strategically located and has the advantages of natural cooling, sufficient electricity, and low electricity prices. Compared with data centers of the same quality in Shanghai, Beijing, etc., the cost has been reduced by 40%. At the same time, the data center also supports in-depth customization of computer room modules and infrastructure configurations, which can effectively meet the high power needs of high-power computing power clusters. With the help of low-cost, high-value-added self-built data centers, UCloud can provide customers with one-stop system engineering construction capabilities and launch AIGC solutions for large enterprises. Based on more than 10 years of experience in mature cloud computing services and lossless network operations, UCloud can provide a full range of technical products and solutions from data centers and servers to computing, storage, networks, security and architecture design, serving large enterprises. Build a stable and reliable computing power infrastructure
Currently, UCloud Ucade's self-built data center has launched a variety of GPU computing resource options, which can create flexible and scalable computing services for multiple scenarios such as AI training, inference, and data processing of large models. UCloud provides customers with a partitioning solution of "training area, reasoning area, storage area, management area", in which the training area mainly uses A800/H800 and future higher-performance GPU all-in-one machines for cluster construction, and the maximum size of a single cluster can reach 2048 cards; The inference zone connects to the public cloud GPU resource pool in the same availability zone through the intranet, providing multiple types of inference GPU resources and being elastic and scalable to meet the inference needs in multiple scenarios.
Faced with storage challenges, UCloud upgraded its storage system to improve metadata performance, read caching and write throughput capabilities, and improved model training efficiency with AI integrated storage. At the same time, UCloud supports the high-performance networks of IB and RoCE. By creating a high-performance computing cluster with high-speed interconnection, it can achieve multi-node lossless communication and meet the needs of multi-node parallel computing.
In addition, UCloud also supports privatized deployment of large models. Combined with UCAR's one-cloud, multi-core and independently controllable private cloud platform, it provides privatized delivery solutions for virtualization, storage, network and MaaS services, helping vertical large models to quickly implement in industry scenarios. The UCloud mirror market has launched a wealth of open source large models for the last time, covering AI application fields such as knowledge reasoning, question and answer, image and text generation, Chinese semantics and painting design, and can quickly build fine-tuning or inference environments for large models for users
Give full play to the value of the digital base of neutral cloud service providers. UCloud can not only provide underlying computing power support for large model enterprises, but also combine years of technology accumulation and engineering practice. Help improve model training efficiency and achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement. At the same time, UCloud also hopes to jointly promote and apply large models with large model companies and industry customers based on the delivery model of privatized large model all-in-one machines. *Image source provided by UCloud for authorized use
