Operation and management of wiring system in data center room

With the rapid development of financial industry in recent years, the demand for information storage and processing ability is more and more high. Various services in the financial industry depend on the management and analysis of information. As a platform to support information application, data center will play a more and more important role. Many users are willing to invest heavily in building new data centers, and the size and size of the data centers are constantly expanding and improving. This puts a higher demand on the management of the data center. Cabling system, as the base of data center network operation, is also an important part of data center system. How to better manage the data center cabling system, now also more and more attention.

The good management of the data center cabling system starts from the requirement that the design idea of the structure wiring should be adopted from the whole architecture. There is also a need to provide sufficient space and cabling capacity for upgrades and expansions; From the product, the requirements can be from the use point of view, with more close to the actual user, easier to manage and maintain products Finally, some auxiliary means, such as electronic distribution frame, electronic label management system, can be used to help manage the cabling system of the data center. Good cabling management can effectively reduce maintenance time and reduce the likelihood of errors. It can also improve the energy efficiency of the data center by reducing the influence on the cold air channel. Through a long-running survey of multiple data centers, we found that good cabling management can reduce energy consumption by 2% to 3%. The following is an example of an insurance headquarters data center to describe how to better manage and maintain the cabling system of the data center.

Scheme design

Project design can be said to be the most important part of the management impact, only a good design to make maintenance simple and convenient. Under the guidance of tia942,iso24764,gb50174 and other standards. Structured wiring has been used by most data centers, according to statistics, in Europe, currently about 95% of the use of structured wiring scheme.

In the past, the data center cabling system uses the direct-connected jumper connection mode. Ports from one device to another are more directly connected with a duplex light or copper jumper, which is small for initial investment and requires no planning. At first glance it is a more economical and effective choice, but as the number of devices and the number of ports in the rapid growth, it must be on the existing wiring on the basis of constantly under the floor or overhead bridge to continuously increase the line between the straight jumper. Soon, all the available space will be occupied by jumpers. It won't be long before we can find out the corresponding relationship of the jumper. So the direct link jumper this way, although in the initial view is more effective, but in the later maintenance and expansion of the time becomes very complex, trouble and accompanied by higher risk. Because the direct connection mode only the jumper ends are known, and the exact line in the middle is difficult to find, the jumper under the floor usually becomes a mess. And when the system's connection needs to change, also need to open the device cabinet, plug the connector on the source device, which may endanger other connections and system operation, the risk is unpredictable.
