Chapter 406: Big Data Disaster Relief
Before discussing with Liu Shengjian, Hang Yu first found Guan Yonglin, wanting to have a deeper understanding of the functions of Weibo Cloud and Ba Snake, and make a feasible plan, so that he could talk when the time came.
"It is possible to use big data to assist in disaster relief, but first of all, we need to collect data. We can't collect so much data on our own, we can only mobilize the masses and let them use Weibo to send information about various places. Guan Yonglin said.
"Weibo has more than 100 million users, and mobilization should provide a lot of data. Hang Yu said.
"Yes, but it's a bit difficult to handle such a huge amount of data with our current cluster servers. If we want to promote Ba Snake, I guess we will have to add 5,000 to 10,000 servers. Guan Yonglin said.
"Ten thousand units, that's one or two hundred million. Hang Yu hesitated.
Guan Yonglin didn't speak, his work had been completed, and whether to expand and promote it was Hangyu's business.
"One or two hundred million at every turn, well, for disaster relief, we expanded the hardware equipment in advance. Originally, Hang Yu planned to wait for the company's funds to be more abundant and then promote big data, but the 512 incident came soon, and he didn't have time to prepare.
Fortunately, cloud computing and big data do not have such high requirements for hardware equipment, unlike game operations that require more advanced servers, you can buy some cheaper servers to top.
"Buy 7,000 servers first, and install them for me in a month. Hang Yu said.
"It's been about a month since I installed the upgrade configuration. Guan Yonglin nodded.
"By the way, you work with the HR department to set up a professional data analysis team as soon as possible. In the past, when we used big data internally, each department analyzed the data on its own, but now this is no longer the case. Hang Yu said.
"No problem, but there are a little less talent in data analysis in China, and it will take a little time. Guan Yonglin said.
"As soon as possible. Hang Yu said two words.
When the technology company was preparing the equipment, Hang Yu asked the planning department and the editorial department to make a publicity plan as soon as possible.
After the preparations were handed over to the relevant departments, Hang Yu personally invited Liu Shengjian and Secretary Qi to have dinner together and discussed with them the use of big data to assist in disaster relief.
"Secretary Qi, this snowstorm has spread almost all over the country, and seven provinces have been seriously affected. With such a large area of disaster, it is very slow and inefficient to transmit information manually, and a minute of slow disaster relief will cause tens of millions of losses. Hang Yu said.
Of course, it is impossible for one region to cause such serious damage, but all the affected areas combined, it may be more than tens of millions in a minute. A road is blocked for an hour, how many trucks and supplies can't pass, these are all money.
"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to pay attention to the disaster relief issue, what, do you have any good solutions?" Secretary Qi took time out of his busy schedule to eat, on the one hand, he could afford Hang Yu, and on the other hand, he also knew that he must have something important.
I thought it was Hang Yu's private business, but I didn't expect it to be a disaster relief problem, which made Qi Zhenhe quite curious, how could Hang Yu, a private entrepreneur, be interested in disaster relief, is it profitable?
Wanting to profit from the disaster relief, Secretary Qi was vigilant.
"Our company has been developing a big data analysis system for a long time, which can collect massive amounts of information and filter and analyze it at a very fast speed. If you can get the disaster data from all over the country, analyze and screen it in a centralized manner, it is definitely thousands of times faster than manual identification. Hang Yu said.
"Big data analysis system, is it high-tech?" Secretary Qi and Liu Shengjian were very interested.
"Pretty much, if the government is willing to connect the disaster data you get to our server, and I use Weibo to call on people everywhere to collect data, it will be of great help to the disaster relief work. Hang Yu said.
"You won't have a problem plugging the government computers into your servers. Although Secretary Qi does not understand big data, he also knows the importance of information security.
After all, Hang Yu is a private entrepreneur, and Secretary Qi can't trust him 100%.
"It's just some data about the damage, such as roads in a certain place, water pipes that are frozen and cracked, power poles or houses that have collapsed. If you are concerned about the security of your computer, you can download the relevant data to your hard drive and then hand it over to us. Hang Yu said.
"That's fine, but is the data useful? Even if the local government knows about it, it won't be able to salvage it without enough manpower and material resources." Secretary Qi was skeptical.
"In terms of individual regions, this data is not very useful. However, from the perspective of the scope of disaster damage across the country, massive data analysis can filter out more accurate information, thereby helping local governments formulate more efficient disaster relief plans and allocate manpower and material resources more efficiently. The four words of planning efficiency, Secretary Qi should understand the meaning better than me. Hang Yu said.
"Yes, I see. Secretary Qi nodded, he had done decades of work, and of course he knew the importance of planning efficiency better than Hang Yu. Expand the association, and soon realize the benefits of big data analytics.
As for the difficulty of big data analysis, Secretary Qi didn't think much about it.
"If Secretary Qi still hesitates, we can try it out in Jiangdu, and then promote it to the whole country if it is easy to use. Because our company's server is not enough, it can't be promoted for a while, and it takes a little time to prepare. Hang Yu said.
"The disaster relief work is urgent, I will tell Secretary Li about this matter immediately, and you are ready over there. Excluding the security of government computers, Secretary Qi still trusts and is optimistic about Hang Yu, and immediately decided to give it a try.
Anyway, Hang Yu contributed, no matter what the result was, it would have no impact on the government.
"Thank you Secretary Qi for your support, I will not let you down. Hang Yu got up and said.
"It's not that you thank me, it should be that I thank you. If your high-tech is really useful, it can save the government a huge loss, and it will be of great benefit to me. Secretary Qi smiled slightly.
"Rest assured, we've been trying it out in-house for a long time, and it's working pretty well. Hang Yu said.
"I'll see. "Secretary Qi is really looking forward to it, if Hang Yu says it is so good, maybe he can add a sum to his political achievements.
After eating, Hang Yu immediately contacted Song Xiyuan, Shen Miaofu and Guan Yonglin, who had returned home from work, and asked them to immediately publicize their preparations and use big data to assist in disaster relief in Jiangdu City.
With the servers currently owned by the technical department, there is no problem in processing data within the city of Jiangdu.
On the other hand, Secretary Qi also called Secretary Li at nine o'clock to talk about the matter regardless of how late it was. As soon as Secretary Li heard that it was Hang Yu who proposed it, he listened attentively and felt that big data analysis was a bit useful, so he readily agreed.
