With the development of the online gaming industry, the demand on IT infrastructure has played a large role in promoting. At the same time stable and reliable network environment and hardware platforms operating in the network game is crucial, which IDC network equipment and computer room construction is the key to long-term planning and protection.
Currently, Prudential server in the network game server market to occupy a seat. Many well-known online game in Pao-server support, providing a highly efficient and stable service.
Pao online game server platform IDC Description:
PowerLeader Technology or Win2K Advanced server-based Linux cluster systems for load balancing or network game game software company operators offer high performance, high availability, scalability, cost-effective data center solutions IDC; which is more specifically for online game data system, high-volume, high traffic, high real-time, and high reliability requirements, propose a set of system optimization management, high availability program, the network monitoring module and the Pao-server management system integration, provide the system from the underlying server hardware, network equipment, hardware, operating system layer on top of start up even extends to the application layer of security monitoring security system so that all processes of the system time to adjust to a reasonable level - dynamic equilibrium traffic distribution node, dynamic balance the network bandwidth, while providing an early warning system state functions, and strive to advance the system reports all hazards management center for timely adjustments or emergency. The safety control measures and high-availability cluster system structure seamless integration ensures maximum system availability, which is Pao-demand technology platform server a successful practice, is also a major online gaming industry contribution.
Pao for the online game IDC data center solutions:
Application Analysis
Game online game operators invest in data center IDC, the general need to build:
Center server group: WEB RDB / Game Patch 2 sets of charging a Taiwan district, District, charging back up a station, WEB server, a platform, real-time ranking system server a platform, SQL-DB 2 sets Hot Standby (with disk array cabinet);
Game Server Group: GameDB 1 station, charging a group of Taiwan, Game server 10 sets.
Operating conditions: Each server will support simultaneous online in the last million. Scale are to be given more than a game, and then gradually increased after the game types. If the follow-up to increase capacity, only to increase the game group of servers, no additional central server. This is the game for network operators to provide PowerLeader a high-performance, high availability, high cost of the IDC building programs. As a basic platform of the Pao from the server cluster structure to the application layer, while horizontal expansion to the network device management, are taken into account the system's high availability, this special custom design very much in line gaming network service center IDC construction requirements. In addition, high technology, cost-effective PowerLeader types of IA servers for the game server operators to provide a cheap solution.
System Configuration
IDC room full account of the hardware configuration and management of physical factors, Pao-on-demand server custom IA series formed the center rack server platform.
Load balancer:
1) Hardware configuration: As the load balancer management of server clusters in two groups, but the number of concurrent users online access to all the people in each group, so the moment will occur concurrent request load balancer in the end produce a peak.
Network Connection: Recommended IDC using Gigabit Ethernet switch core switches, Gigabit Ethernet load balancing configuration. Start to solve this network link congestion may arise.
Load balancing hardware devices: the best is a dual CPU configuration, memory as a large number, preferably up to 2G. This is because, in the concurrent requests arrive, the load balancer to handle all the requests and the rapid establishment of links for each request, so if the visit in accordance with the maximum amount to consider, at the moment to receive concurrent requests, to spend a lot of CPU and memory resources. Thus, according to the operation of the center to determine the above hardware configuration.
We use Pao 2 CPU load balancers PT2350R, while achieving agent gateway.
2) Software configuration: Pao-load equalizer on Linux and Windows Advanced Server2000 two ways.
In this case, our Linux-based platform for the load balancer, can manage up to 200 nodes, the cluster of servers basically windows server 2003 SP3-based platform, high-Fang Wen Tong Shi Kaolvbingfa amount of Youxi network operating conditions, so load balancer with discrete settings. This way, does not require the application server and database server enterprise version of windows are used, initial construction could be significant cost savings, Weiyi Hou system of Buduan expansion also provide a potential Youliang cost alternative.
Center server group:
1) Hardware configuration:
District billing a platform, billing back up a Taiwan district and WEB RDB (remote database) server a cost-effective platform choices Pao NF 180 C 1U rack-mounted Intel Dual CPU XEON ™ 1.8GHz to 2.8GHz processor, multi- threads and multi-task Hyper-Threading Technology, 512K high-speed secondary cache. Up to 400 or 533MHz front-side system bus.
On the WEB server 1 sets a platform game patch server, real-time ranking system server a platform, SQL-DB 2 sets hot standby (with the disk array cabinet), due to operational commitments in the game when the application process scheduling more frequent Pao used more cost-effective performance of good and excellent PT1350R - 1U rack-mounted Intel Dual CPU XEON ™ 1.8GHz to 3.06GHz, support multi-threading and multi-task Hyper-Threading Technology, 512K high-speed secondary cache. Up to 533MHz front-side system bus.
2) Software configuration: Based on the simplified Chinese version of Windows Server 2000 SP3;
Pao dedicated disk array cabinets with Hot Standby software HA DataWare
Game server group:
Group billing a platform, since computation is relatively small, cost-effective use PowerLeader good NF 180
game DB 1 and Game Server 10 Taiwan Taiwan, due to frequent visits, application process, call the frequent, heavy load of multi-task, use Pao cost more superior quality and performance achieved PT1350R.
Pao IDC data center network for the Games of the 1U rack PT1350R-demand launch of its more superior product performance, physical performance and better adaptability to the gaming network, will make a positive contribution to the gaming industry.
High availability configuration options:
Pao-server management node server PSM ensure monitoring of the situation itself, but network nodes between the access control to ensure the security, including network equipment, health surveillance; and Pao-node cluster of each traffic server monitoring and dynamic balanced flow together and complement each other, complement each other, and jointly safeguard the overall system availability.
This is sufficient to ensure complete security system with high traffic, high number of visits, the process of scheduling frequent gaming network IDC center stage in daily use. The system is relatively mature system, and the PSM as a direct integration.
