Challenges
-
Capacity bottlenecks
The monitoring system architecture is not sustainable for rapid business growth. Monitoring data is missing when the system fails or an application is being rearchitected. Business continuity cannot be ensured.
-
Inadequate performance
The objective is 16 TB of data reported by more than 1300 underground mines, but queries already slow down at 8 TB.
-
Insufficient reliability
Databases are connected using fixed IP addresses. As a result, services are interrupted during capacity expansion. Monitoring data is missing when the system is being rearchitected.
Huawei Cloud Database Services Help Build Intelligence in Monitoring Systems for 1300+ Mines
-
Distributed architecture with high scalability
Huawei Cloud DDM uses a distributed architecture to provide horizontal scaling, letting customers flexibly add nodes to keep up with the fast growth of their businesses.
-
Database/Table sharding
Huawei Cloud DDM uses database/table sharding to improve query performance. Even in high concurrency scenarios, the monitoring system keeps running properly.
-
Hitless migration
Data Replication Service (DRS) migrates RDS databases to DDM online without downtime or data loss. The monitoring system provides real-time information about customer's mines.
Benefits
-
Large capacity and high scalability
The number of mines supported by a single monitoring system of Jingying Shuzhi increases from 600 to 1,300 (increased by 1.2 times). The objective is to support more than 2,000 mines.
-
Continuity and stability
DRS migrates data from RDS to DDM online without affecting workloads. The IP address remains unchanged and monitoring will not be interrupted during horizontal scaling.
-
Massive storage
The maximum data volume of a single instance increases from 2 TB to 16 TB without performance deterioration.
