Data center is also known as IDC room future business development how to go from here

Large manufacturers set off a "machine" wave

In the wave of new infrastructure, Tencent, Ali and other large manufacturers have invested hundreds of billions of dollars in the layout of the construction of large-scale data centers. Large manufacturers in order to "raise the machine" also used a variety of new technologies. Data center as infrastructure, has been in the bottom of no one asked, but with the rapid advance of digitalization, data center changes will better reflect the new infrastructure "infrastructure + technology" connotation. For the data center, technological innovation, can reasonably store and process data, to meet the needs of the upper levels, to support the digital economy to take off, in order to realize its true value.

The next wave of technological innovation in the high ground

With the construction of large factories to speed up, the domestic data center blossomed everywhere. According to China's industrial information network statistics, in 2020 the global IDC processing data traffic will reach 15.3ZB, accounting for 99.35% of the global traffic generated; from the data it can be seen that IDC dominates the global data traffic processing.

Nowadays, data centers are developing in the direction of spatial intensification and single large-scale. The number of mega large data centers increased to 504 by the end of 2019, and there are another 151 data centers in various stages of construction. The development of intensification allows the utilization rate of single machine rooms to be improved, which helps to bring the scale effect into play and reduce the cost of construction in the early stage as well as the cost of operation in the later stage, and the head effect will be more obvious for large companies.

Pain points in the development of data centers

1.? Behind the mega data centers is a staggering amount of power consumption.

The annual power consumption of servers has risen continuously, and old server rooms with underpowered cabinets are trying not to lose power to the extent that the problem is solved by vacating the machine space. This not only results in low space utilization, but also causes a decline in power utilization, while also creating unnecessary waste. It is predicted that in 2020, the power consumption of China's data centers will be 296.2 billion kWh [3]? , surpassing the Three Gorges power generation, so it is urgent to solve the problem of energy consumption.

2.? Data center safety operation indicators are increasing day by day

Data centers need to improve the safety of access management regulations and fire systems, as well as with the ability to develop emergency response and personnel safety emergency procedures. While ensuring that all infrastructure is functioning properly, all equipment needs to be maintained and repaired in a timely manner.

3.? Crashing operation and maintenance

Midnight failure work orders wake people up, handling careless easy into the pit. Daily inspection is the most important part of the data center operation and maintenance process, through the operation and maintenance personnel day after day, repeated thousands of times in the reading table to maintain vigilance to find the hidden problems of the equipment. Purely relying on manpower is not necessary for the development of the industry, daily operation and maintenance should be with the help of appropriate auxiliary tools, so that the limited manpower to get rid of mechanical work.

How to make data centers green, smart and easy to operate and maintain, Hightopo and other companies in China are actively answering this question.

Establishing a visual O&M management platform to solve the pain points

Visualizing and reshaping the data center room

Aiming at the complexity, multi-scenarios, and dynamics of the data center system, Hightopo is able to provide the best solution for the data center industry. The WebGL standard implementation of HTML5? 3D graphics rendering technology, as well as based on the browser kernel embedded into the small program to achieve more convenient dissemination. It also adopts the hightopo lightweight architecture to support cross-platform display and realize multi-port massive data analysis.

Data Center Environment Visualization

Using 3D simulation technology, we can model a variety of equipment in the server room, and perform real-time monitoring and full lifecycle maintenance of the equipment. In order to ensure the normal operation of the data center server room, the operation and maintenance system also has smoke, temperature and humidity monitoring, power monitoring, access control and other monitoring functions, real-time monitoring of the internal environment of the server room, timely detection of problems, remote control system to regulate the operating state.

Asset and Energy Management Visualization

In order to solve the problem of excessive energy consumption in data centers, the system conducts real-time monitoring of the annual power consumption of the overall environment of the data center, the rental rate of the cabinets, the power consumption of the building IT, diesel generators, and the electrical capacity, etc., and provides the relevant historical data, which is convenient for the managers to make energy-saving adjustments. It also supports accurate positioning of assets, records equipment models and status, ensures high utilization of cabinets, avoids waste of resources, and saves about 20% of total operating costs by fine-tuning O&M.

Visualization of Operation and Maintenance Management

Changing the data center operation and maintenance model through visualization management. Managers can understand the health status of the equipment through the online monitoring system, and can remotely view the maintenance records, resume information, and historical failures of the cabinets, providing an intuitive data base for assessing the safety of the equipment. The operation and maintenance personnel are freed from mechanical work, easing the pressure of operation and maintenance. It also provides a humanized solution for data center personnel allocation.

Welcoming the Era of Intelligent Operation and Maintenance

As the huge amount of traffic generated by edge computing and 5G's large bandwidth has led to the blossoming of data center construction, large-scale and dense IDCs are in even greater need of fine-grained, automated, and visualized management. As Hightopo provides data center room visualization solutions, it helps enterprises to achieve fine management in energy consumption, operation and maintenance, and human resources, so that they can move towards the development path of energy saving and efficiency. In the era of the digital economy, data center visualization transformation should be more proactive.
