Germany Information Technology Data Center energy Control Solution

With the enhancement of people's environmental awareness, how to reduce personal carbon footprint has become a hot topic. In recent years, the idea of advocating low-carbon life and reducing carbon footprint has been deeply rooted.

Compared with the personal and household carbon footprint, as it equipment upgrades, each unit of space needs more and more power and cooling capacity, data center, the large energy consumption of the carbon footprint is also increased by several times or even dozens of times times.

Therefore, how to reduce the energy consumption of the data center, realize the higher energy efficiency utilization, become http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/13608.html "> data Center Manager First consideration problem."

In the past, both users and it vendors have tried various methods. There are still a number of difficulties that cannot be resolved, whether updating the device or introducing new technology:

★ In the refrigeration aspect, but the air conditioner sends out the cold wind cannot 100% send to the server side, most room air-conditioning's use efficiency also only in about 50%;

★ Due to the centralized refrigeration system in the room, the room temperature is already very low, but some of the cabinet temperature is more than the normal working temperature of IT equipment;

★ Similarly, when certain racks are cooled excessively, some racks are not cooled;

★ Anti-Static floor under always filled with a variety of cables, so there is not enough space to obtain the necessary cold air;

★ Anti-Static Floor under the communication pipeline and other open outlet of the cold air, but also caused the cold air convection, which affects the refrigeration effect.

Practice has proved that in order to improve the efficiency of data center, it is first to monitor the existing equipment in real time and obtain real energy consumption data in order to choose the best scheme. If you work only on power, refrigeration, UPS, and wait for data center managers, instead of using better data centers for energy efficiency, it is likely to be a declining return on investment in IT equipment.

To improve it ROI, help datacenter managers optimize and run their IT resources while achieving higher energy efficiency. German science and technology to micro-environmental monitoring and energy management integration, for users to show a set of energy management and micro-environmental monitoring in one DCIM energy-saving control solutions.

In addition to the hierarchical and centralized distributed energy consumption management and analysis of the data center IT infrastructure, this scheme has increased the data acquisition and monitoring of micro-environment. It can better help data center users and managers to ensure the stability and linkage of operation, and implement unattended automation management through the deployment of energy consumption and equipment linkage management strategy.

German science and technology energy-saving control solution through the "collection-analysis-optimization-evaluation" four, the data center energy consumption refinement, automation management. From the optimization efficiency and management point of view, strive to achieve maximum efficiency with minimal input:

★ Monitor the temperature of each cabinet in the data center and the airflow under the floor of the room, fine guide airflow, then improve cooling efficiency;

★ All-round monitoring and statistics of current electricity, to optimize load balancing, distribution capacity management to provide analysis data, and then improve power efficiency.

In practical applications, Germany technology energy control solutions have the following two ways to deploy:

Deployment Scenario 1: The NPU2000 (IPDU) equipment is deployed in the front-end cabinet, to collect the cabinet current, electricity, temperature, humidity and other environmental data, the front-end power cabinets are collected separately deployed, the Npcworks management platform deployed in the backend.

Deployment Scenario 2: The NPA equipment is deployed in the front-end cabinet for collecting the environmental data of the cabinet current, electricity, temperature and humidity, and the front-end power cabinets are separately deployed. Deploy the Npcworks management platform to the backend.

The specific application of this package is shown in the following four points:

First, the detailed management of data monitoring

Environmental signals, the program supports the cabinet, equipment around the area, equipment surface and internal small space, such as a wide range of aspects of humidity, temperature, flooding, access control collection;

Energy consumption data, this scheme supports the collection of the current, voltage, power and electricity data of single equipment, single machine platoon, single cabinet and whole computer room.

At the same time, the program also supports the use of NPU devices to view real-time data in situ, and upload to the NPS device centralized management.

Second, the effective protection of computer room operating equipment safety

The NPA and NPU collection equipment distributed in each cabinet can realize real-time monitoring of the operating environment such as the operating current, voltage, cabinet leakage and door bump of the equipment in the management area. If the preset threshold is exceeded, the alarm prompt can be effectively prevented and the spreading of the accident loss is suppressed.

Third, significantly improve the computer room Automation management level

The scheme can be based on real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity of micro-environmental data, linkage of the corresponding areas of air-conditioning, cooling and cooling equipment working state, while supporting the equipment under the abnormal conditions of the automatic restart, equipment idle automatic sleep and other management strategies. Not only realize the integration and optimization of resources, improve the utilization of it facilities, but also significantly improve the automation of the computer room management level.

Four, comprehensive and perfect energy consumption analysis

The Web management platform deployed in this project can realize diversified and multidimensional energy consumption Graph report analysis function, show the overall energy consumption development trend and energy efficiency level of the computer room from the macroscopic angle, provide cabinet level, machine rank and equipment level power consumption details, energy cost and so on from microcosmic angle. The combination of macro-trend and micro-data provides an objective, reliable and comprehensive basis for decision making in data center energy-saving optimization and later planning.

Germany information Technology Energy control solutions, can effectively reduce the data center carbon footprint, maximize the return on IT investment, help data center managers to achieve higher energy efficiency, while achieving IT resources optimization and good operation.
