Abstract: A method, a device and a system for pushing a file are provided. In some embodiments, the method includes: splitting a data file to be pushed into multiple sub-files; uploading the multiple sub-files in parallel to a file storage node; and adding a push task corresponding to the multiple sub-files into a coordinator node. When it is detected that the push task is added into the coordinator node, a slave push node downloads the multiple sub-files in parallel from the file storage node, merges the multiple downloaded sub-files, and pushes a data file obtained by the merging to a destination node upon receipt of a scheduling instruction from the master push node. The solutions shorten the time taken to upload the data file and the time taken to download the data file, and improve the push efficiency.

Abstract: The present application discloses an environment isolation method. First, a pre-configured full address in a routing address pool in a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) client terminal is automatically refreshed according to a preset cycle. The RPC client terminal stops automatic refresh in the routing address pool after receiving an environment isolation instruction sent by an environment isolation device, and replaces a current address in the routing address pool with a combined address. When subsequently receiving a service call request sent by a user, the RPC client terminal generates a valid target address based on the combined address in the routing address pool, sends the service call request to an RPC server terminal corresponding to the target address, and returns to the user a service processing result returned by the RPC server terminal.
