Microsoft Azure is an ever-expanding collection of cloud services that can help organizations meet a variety of business challenges. Users can use their favorite tools and frameworks to build, manage and deploy applications as they like on a large-scale global network.

In China, Microsoft Azure, operated by 2018, is a public cloud platform independently operated in mainland China. It is physically and logically independent of Azure services operated by Microsoft in other regions of the world. It uses Microsoft's global Azure technology to serve customers. Provide global consistent service quality assurance. All customer data, applications that process this data, and data centers that carry Century Internet online services are all located in China. The data centers located in eastern China and northern China provide off-site replication at a geographical location more than 1,000 kilometers apart, providing business continuity support for Azure services and achieving data stability.

In terms of network access, Microsoft Azure data center operated by Century Internet directly connects provincial core network nodes of multiple mainstream operators (China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile) through BGP, which can provide users with high-speed and stable networks Visit experience. Data centers located in eastern and northern China adopt the same address broadcast and BGP routing policies, and users can access Azure services located in the above data centers nearby to achieve an optimal network performance experience.

All data centers are selected from professional data centers of domestic telecom operators, and on the basis of green energy saving, N+1 or 2N uninterruptible power supply protection is adopted. In addition, there are high-power diesel generators that provide backup power to the data center, equipped with on-site diesel storage and oil supply agreements at nearby gas stations as guaranteed. The data center computer room is equipped with overhead floors, and the cold passage is closed, forming a cooling cycle with the back-end refrigeration system, refrigerator, cooling tower and ice pool, providing a stable and suitable environment for the servers running in the computer room. It is also equipped with a fresh air system to reduce the PUE of the data center when weather conditions are appropriate.

Azure is an open platform that supports a wide range of server operating systems, including open source software and systems, various programming languages, frameworks, software packages, development tools, databases and client devices; for example, running Linux containers integrated with Docker , connect to MySQL and Redis PaaS services, use JavaScript, Python, .NET, PHP, Java and Node.js to develop applications; generate backends for iOS, Android and Windows devices. With the basic principle of "Microsoft Love Open Source", Azure Cloud Services supports the same technologies that millions of developers and IT professionals rely on and trust. Microsoft Open Source Technology Center works closely with Azure’s engineer team and major open source communities to provide customers with “industry-best” tools and technologies for design, development, deployment and management of cloud services and applications to ensure their existing technology and training invest.
