1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Research Background

In recent years, with the development of the Internet

and computer technology, digital media technology

capabilities have grown and the communication

environment and media forms have undergone

significant changes, which have had a profound

impact on the media industry. In the new media

environment, various high-tech applications have

subverted traditional media, changed the entire

business environment, and further enhanced user

experience.

As modern distance education becomes more and

more deeply embedded in the life of human society,

the construction of resource sharing platforms that

accompany information technology has gained

richer and more diverse development opportunities.

Educational resources on online learning platforms

also occupy a more central and important position.

However, in this era of rapid information interaction,

resource sharing still faces a number of traditional

obstacles and resistance. These include hardware

lags where the development of Internet

infrastructure cannot meet the growing demand for

online learning, and software shackles where

intellectual property rights and credit systems still

need further improvement. The emergence of digital

media technology techniques has broken these

traditional barriers to the development and

utilization of digital education resources, providing a

resource construction and sharing platform with

distinct technical rationality for learners' lifelong

learning.

1.2 Purpose of the Study

The resource sharing platform is an important

support for digital media technology students to

search for materials and find information, and can

provide powerful support for the teaching activities

of teachers and students. At this stage, resource

sharing technology is developing rapidly at home

and abroad. Cloud storage and cloud sharing

products, represented by Ali cloud and Google

Drive, are powerful and convenient in storage and

transmission operations, which have solved the

difficulties of digital media resource transmission to

a certain extent. However, the resource redundancy

problem of these platforms also affects the usage

experience, so it is necessary to design more targeted

and dedicated platforms from a practical point of

view.

2 THE CURRENT STATUS OF

RESOURCE SHARING IN

DIGITAL MEDIA

TECHNOLOGY

Since entering the new normal development stage,

the global market pattern has seen a clear trend of

structural adjustment and optimization. Factors such

as technology and information have replaced

traditional production factors in the market and have

been given more intangible asset value. The new

businesses that depend on them have also received

more nourishment and support, and are growing and

developing rapidly. The theory of "resource sharing"

has emerged in this context.

Foreign iCloud and DropBox are outstanding

representatives of sharing technology and have made

important contributions to cost savings and

efficiency improvement of information transmission

(BCAS, 2003). Domestic technology companies and

scholars have also joined the research ranks and

launched cloud storage technologies with Baidu

Cloud and 360 NetDisk as benchmarks, solving the

problem of sharing professional resources in digital

media technology and providing more efficient and

high-quality resource sharing channels. However, as

most of these products are profitable and need to

face global users to meet the diverse needs of users,

there are many platform resources, high redundancy,

useless resources and easy line congestion, which

makes it difficult to provide long-term reliable

teaching support for digital media technology

majors. Based on this, many universities have

designed and launched special educational resource

sharing platforms from the perspective of

innovation. Although the relevance of platform

services has been improved to a certain extent,

limitations still exist due to technical and conceptual

factors:

 The problem of unclear classification of

disciplines, many university resource sharing

platforms adopt open source management mode, and

different majors share the same platform for

uploading and downloading resources, and invalid

and redundant resources are very much, which

reduces the usability and operation efficiency of the

platform (Niu, Zhao, 2020).

 The problem of backward platform

technology. The current resource sharing platform is

relatively single in function and adopts the

traditional network organization structure and

operation mode. Once the number of resources

proliferates and the scale expands, the platform

directly goes down and dies, which affects the usage

experience and increases the maintenance cost and

risk of loss.

 The quality of resources varies, and the

material resources required by the digital media

technology profession are diverse. Due to the lack of

necessary evaluation and interactive boards, all

materials can only be mixed up, which is time-

consuming for students and extremely low

utilization of resources, and there is an urgent need

to build a more stable and reliable platform system.

3 NEW TECHNOLOGIES FOR

BUILDING A PROFESSIONAL

RESOURCE SHARING

PLATFORM FOR DIGITAL

MEDIA TECHNOLOGY

Cloud storage technology is the main technical

direction for the construction and development of a

professional resource sharing platform for digital

media technology. It can be divided into four

different levels. The data storage layer assumes the

function of information writing and recording; the

data management control logic algorithm, which

assists the realization of various functions with the

support of mapping; the data service layer and the

access layer are open to users and support the

independent deletion of resources and download

applications. Compared with traditional storage

methods, cloud storage technology absorbs more

advantages of distributed computing, can meet the

needs of automation and intelligent operation, and

can save resource expenses under the premise of

ensuring data security. Foreign research on cloud

storage technology started earlier.

Amazon, Microsoft and other international giants

began to explore as early as 2006 and launched

cloud storage products with different performance

and advantages. vSphere technology is one of the

representative categories, which adopts

virtualization platform design ideas, relying on

vCenter Server, VMware ESXi host to provide cloud

storage and computing services, to achieve a multi-

core virtual machine and physical server It is more

comprehensive and convenient to use. Therefore,

this technology is used to build a professional

resource sharing platform for digital media

technology.

vSphere virtualized infrastructure includes the

entire data center infrastructure, including storage,

servers, and networks. It enables these different

types of resources to be shared, transforming the

datacenter infrastructure into a unified, simple, easy-

to-manage collection of network elements located in

a virtualized environment. vSphere allows network

resources to be managed like a shared tool and

deployed quickly without worrying about hardware

differences and limitations. The VMware vSphere

cloud operating system is comprised of the

following component layers shown in the figure 1.

4 IDEAS AND POINTS FOR THE

CONSTRUCTION OF A

PROFESSIONAL RESOURCE

SHARING PLATFORM FOR

DIGITAL MEDIA

TECHNOLOGY

4.1 Demand Analysis

The introduction of vSphere technology and the

construction of the resource sharing platform both

serve the teaching and application process of digital

media technology majors in colleges and

universities. Therefore, the professional use

requirements of universities are the starting point of

the whole architecture and platform design. From

the viewpoint of the actual operation link, its

demands are mainly reflected in availability, security

and scalability (see Table 1).

The platform system must run stably and be able

to provide guarantee for the transmission and

download of large volume and heterogeneous digital

media resources, and there should not be frequent

downtime and lagging, and even if there are

unexpected problems, it should have data recovery

and system repair capability to ensure the security of

digital media resources.

Considering that there are many users of digital

media technology in universities, professional

enrollment expansion and inter-campus cooperation,

physical machines need to be expanded to

supplement resources, so the system platform should

also have certain scalability and can reduce the

burden of the physical layer with the distributed

resource management scheme. The introduction of

vSphere can solve exactly such a problem, where

vMotion and torage vMotion technologies can

balance computing power and can migrate resources

to idle ESXi virtual hosts and virtual memory

without interrupting system operation, thus

balancing the resources and performance of the two

virtual devices. The distributed power manager can

Research on the Construction of Resource Sharing Platform of Digital Media Technology Major

119

also run automatically when the server itself is

lightly loaded, shifting virtual machines to a few

hosts and issuing commands to put the remaining

ESXi virtual hosts into standby mode, saving energy

in the data center and ensuring system operational

efficiency.

The platform also features technologies such as

VMware vShield Zones for security support and

protection, which can dynamically monitor the

virtualized environment and initiate seamless

failover in the event of a failure, reducing the risk of

data failure loss. In addition, computing

requirements, storage requirements, and network

requirements are also key issues in the construction

of the platform. vSphere technology relies primarily

on hot-add technology, DRS technology, and VFMS

technology for distributed management, which

allows for flexible configuration and efficient

scaling to meet the needs of students and faculty in

digital media technology (MARVIN 2005, Wang

2020).

4.2 Structural Design

After determining the design requirements and

implementation of the platform, the architecture of

the platform needs to be established according to the

actual situation.

The actual situation is set up. Earlier

architectures mostly used single server technology,

while digital media technology majors use a large

amount of resources with high heterogeneity, which

can easily cause problems such as server overload

and lag. Therefore, this design relies on the vSphere

virtualization platform to integrate server resources,

realize distributed storage allocation and

management, reduce platform workload, and

improve resource allocation efficiency. The

operation logic can be seen in Table 2.

After teachers and student users log in to the

management interface with their accounts and

passwords, Web Access is enabled and verifies the

information, resolves the physical address of the

virtual machine and blocks illegal abnormal access,

while the vCenter Server server receives requests to

deploy allocated virtual machines and compute

servers, and VMware ESXi hosts run computation in

a distributed manner to resolve terminal Various

resource upload and download requests are

submitted, and all operation behaviors are

synchronized to the log disk of the database for easy

query and recovery at a later stage. It is important to

note that the use of Web Access relies on the client

program, so all accessed virtual machines have to

install either the windows version or the Linux

version of the server to achieve automatic allocation

of virtual resources. The resource allocation logic

can be simplified to the following formula:

W represents the resource weight value, the

virtual machine with large weight value can get the

priority allocation right;

~ are the weight

coefficients, five coefficients are 1, F, M, C, V, N,

representing the remaining memory, the remaining

capacity of hard disk, CPU, disk read/write speed

and network status, which together decide the

weight of virtual machine resources and ensure the

storage security and sharing efficiency of digital

media technology professional resources.

4.3 Function Implementation

VMware vSphere virtualization technology is widely

used for its high degree of virtualization, cross-

platform and compatibility, and flexible storage

services. vSphere provides a complete virtualization

solution for the unified provisioning and centralized

management of server resources, consisting

primarily of VMware Esxi, VMware vCenter,

vSphere Client, and other components. VMware

Esxi is a linux version of the network operating

system installed on the server and is the resource

host of the entire virtualization platform, mainly

used to support virtual networking, storage

management, memory and CPU resource scheduling

and other related functions; VMware vCenter is a

powerful centralized management component for

hosts and virtual machines, and is the control and

management center of the entire virtualization

platform. Management Center vSphere Client is a

remote login and management client component that

provides a user-friendly visual view for users to log

in to the vCenter control and management center or

directly to the host server.

The Digital Media Technology Professional

Resource Sharing Platform, powered by vSphere,

has very diverse functions (see Table 3), which are

described in detail below according to board

categories.

4.3.1 System's Front Panel Function

In the teaching process of digital media technology,

the variety and quantity of resources required are

very large, both for animation, games, and film and

television production. The corresponding audio,

video and virtual model materials are even more

encompassing. Therefore, the three interface parts

are determined according to the actual usage. The

foreground part of the system is a key part. After a

user submits an access request, the system identifies

user roles based on the account format and origin,

and opens different login screens to teachers and

students. The two databases are interrelated, but the

operational details are different.

4.3.2 Shared Functions

The sharing function section is the main place for

teachers and students to perform sharing operations.

The modules of resource search, upload, download,

evaluation and deletion are open to students.

Students can search for resources under the premise

of classification and find the type of resources they

need step by step. Take 3D character model search

as an example, the search logic is a subset of 3D

animation design model characters (Cai 2019) to

reduce the time of blind selection. When students

have specific design requirements, they can also

search directly by keywords and titles. The

evaluation section is open under all resources.

Students can share materials and their feelings about

using them, and remove dynamics at any time

according to their needs to provide reference for

other students. Additional resource categories

section can be opened to teachers. Teachers can

classify the section into non-linear editing, graphics

and other first level subjects according to the

school's curriculum structure and system. Also, they

can regularly upload and update relevant resources

and remove invalid and outdated ones to ensure

efficient retrieval and usage and reduce server

overhead.

4.3.3 Management Board

Due to the openness and sharing of information

resource platform, computers are inevitably attacked

by viruses or hackers, so we must pay great attention

and be vigilant to information security. Therefore,

security mechanisms, such as encryption technology,

firewall technology, anti-virus technology and

tracking and monitoring technology, must be

constructed to realize the safe operation of the

information resource sharing platform.

The management board is located at the back end

of the sharing platform, including user management,

security management, image management, etc. The

management authority is controlled by the

administrator, who can add a blacklist for high-risk

users, update the design of database resources and

algorithm resources, and upgrade and optimize the

firewall security algorithm, thus facilitating the

maintenance and operation of the platform.

5 CONCLUSIONS

Information technology has a revolutionary impact

on the development of education. Adhering to the

deep integration of information technology and

education teaching and realizing the centralized

deployment of education resources can promote the

balanced development of education resources,

improve the overall teaching quality and the

information level of teachers and students, and

Research on the Construction of Resource Sharing Platform of Digital Media Technology Major

121

maximize the allocation, scheduling, monitoring and

updating of teaching resources.

To sum up, the digital media technology major

was created against the background of highly

developed information technology, aiming to

cultivate emerging composite talents who can adapt

to the development trend of the times. As an

important supplementary teaching platform, the

resource sharing platform is of great significance. In

practice, we must face up to its significance and

value, introduce vSphere and other technologies,

optimize the design of the foreground login module,

resource sharing module and background

management module, and optimize the platform's

operation logic by combining the needs of teaching

and instruction, so as to lay a solid foundation for

improving the usability and security of the platform.
