Research On The Application Of Virtualization Technology In Media Cloud

Following computers and the internet, cloud computing is considered to be another majorchange in the field of electronic information technology. Cloud computing has become thenational focus on the development of strategic and emerging industries. Media cloud is a newkind of media operation mode based on cloud computing model. Media cloud is constructedfrom open and sharable Content Production Cloud, timely and convenient Information ServiceCloud, safe and reliable Products Trading Cloud, and comprehensive intelligent DecisionAnalysis Cloud. The application of virtualization technology in building media cloud helps tomake the media business system for resources integration, data concentration and featureintegration, and helps to diversify terminal access, and also helps to save human resources andrapid business reconstruction.Combine the construction demands of media cloud with virtualization technology inserver virtualization, desktop virtualization, storage virtualization and network virtualization.Use key technology and how it works in these four main areas to design media cloud based onvirtualization technology. Referred to NIST cloud computing model, media cloud is dividedinto three layers: the first layer is infrastructure cloud for virtualizing servers, storage andnetwork infrastructure into resources pool; the second layer is application system cloud forpartitioning and reorganizing the system functions; the third layer is content cloud for makingfunction contents into special service packages to provide on-demand services.Using VMware virtualization technology to build the media cloud prototype, this paperfocused on server virtualization and desktop virtualization to research on applications. Mediasystem desktop can be published on the desktop computer, tablet devices, mobile phones, andother common terminals, as well as the media data can be proceeded online storage migration.With the comparative study on the change of before and after virtualization, test results showedthat virtualization technologies enable media cloud server with consolidation ratio of8:1, patchcord savings of23.41%, manpower save up to75%for the deployment of multi terminals. These results indicated that server virtualization and desktop virtualization applied in the mediacloud may help to integrate the resources and simplify the management.This paper combined media with cloud technologies, in order to explore reconfigurabletechnology infrastructure to reform existing business, and try to do business integration underthe new operating mode. By means of cloud computing, it has probed positive and good practiceapplication for the media industry.
