Data center earthquake prevention and disaster reduction strategy (1)

With the continuous development and advancement of the world's industrialization, the global environment is also deteriorating with industrial pollution, and various natural disasters and man-made disasters occur frequently throughout the world. Although many disasters cannot be avoided, these disasters have put forward a huge test of our preparation measures and necessary emergency response mechanisms. After frequent earthquakes in Wenchuan, Yushu, Hangzhou, Ningxia, and Xinjiang, data center managers have to worry more about their data centers. To reduce the concerns of data center managers, let's take a look at the technical measures used to prevent and reduce disasters in the data center.

We all know that the equipment in the data center is expensive. Therefore, many large and professional data centers still adopt a lot of shockproof measures worth learning and learning from:

Data center upgrade shockproof Platform

The data center is equipped with a lifting and shockproof platform to ensure that the air-conditioning system passes smoothly and normal room temperature is maintained. In addition, the lifting, lifting, and shockproof platforms can reduce electrostatic interference and provide a professional and high-quality storage server.

The lifting, lifting, and shockproof platforms generally have the following features:

• 450mm anti-shock platforms

• False smallpox System

• 2600mm Clearance height exists between anti-shock platforms and fake ceilings

Lifting and anti-shock Platform

Seismic slide for data centers

Many data centers use isolation technology to protect racks and servers in the case of a large earthquake. Last year, WorkSafe's DylanMason provided a statement for its company's isobaseline ISO-Base platform, which sat at the bottom of the data center rack and could be moved during an earthquake, instead of being fixed on a building, this can reduce losses.

These slide provide solutions for server rooms. But what about this slide for the entire data center? Here is an example of earthquake relief at the building level, provided by 365Main. 365Main, its flagship data center in San Francisco, was installed with an isolated Isolation System for key task systems during facility transformation.

The Isolation System of the 365Main building is based on the top. The 98 pillars supporting the building are equipped with a special connection device, which is a "friction pendulum ", it is composed of a plate and a rubber bearing, which can absorb the impact caused by earthquake fluctuations. In an earthquake, this device will effectively float the whole building's facilities on the ground. Pipelines, cables, and municipal facilities entering the building are connected to the above isolated connecting devices to maintain integrity in the earthquake.

Data center floor shockproof Bracket

An anti-shock bracket for the floor of an equipment room. It consists of a base, an upper or lower guide rail, an upper or lower girder, and a diagonal bearing. The upper and lower guide rails and the upper-Girder Base are integrated. The utility model is based on the adjustable bracket height and can be fixed at any position. The support and floor are fixed to strengthen the structural strength, and the base can be fixed with the ground, the device, floor, and floor are integrated, with adjustable height, convenient installation and disassembly, and the stability of equipment and floor is increased.

Data center explosion-proof wall and security buffer zone

Protection measures such as explosion-proof walls, security buffers, and high seismic fortification intensity of data centers not only prevent the central data center from being destroyed by disasters, but also enable unattended operation on site. The Central Data Center of the data center is far away from external facilities, and the exterior wall of the data center is an explosion-proof wall, which effectively prevents man-made damage. A security buffer zone is set around the park to prevent illegal intrusion; the seismic fortification intensity at the height of the central data center can reduce the disaster caused by earthquakes to the data center.
