A Solution for Single Point of Failure of Cloud Computing Platform in Electric Power Corporation

Abstract

For the lack of computing, storage, information integration and other aspects in traditional electric power computing platform, it is necessary to introduce cloud computing to it and to build a cloud computing platform based on open source Hadoop to meet the requirements of smart grid. As the single point of failure of Hadoop cannot guarantee the high availability that electric power system requires, this paper gives a solution that based on hot standby mechanism and automatically failover controlled by Zookeeper, analyses availability and disaster recovery times to ensure the electric power system provides fast and accurate service.
