A cloud communication based collection front-end system relates to a front end system. Currently, since the quantity scale of connection terminals of a power consuming collection system is large, fullrecord loading cannot be accepted for management of a single-node program memory. The technical scheme includes a communication gateway cluster, a communication front end machine cluster connected with the communication gateway cluster, a message queue cluster connected with the communication front end machine cluster and performing queue processing on data and a zookeeper distributed service cluster connected with the communication front end machine cluster. The distributed service cluster forms a zookeeper distributed service system. According to the technical scheme, a zookeeper distributed application program is adopted to achieve share of node manage and data share between front end machines. By adopting the technical scheme, collection front end cluster expansion becomes simple andefficient. The distributed expansion capability of the collection front end system is enhanced through cloud communication technology and load balance capability of the front end machine system is enhanced.
