Plan the network layout and Integrated Wiring of the data center from the actual situation (1)

Networking for IT companies, we should not only start from the actual needs of the enterprise, but also plan and design the network according to the amount of network funding. After purchasing network equipment, servers, and other equipment, it is important for our network administrators to make proper network layout and wiring for data centers and office locations. The network layout mentioned in this article mainly refers to how network devices, servers, and other devices in the data room are placed and how they get along with network wiring. In short, the network layout should be fully considered.

I. Principles of network layout

1. Practicality

The LAN set up by an enterprise should be implemented according to the size of the data room and the quantity of equipment. It is very important to make full use of the network layout according to the characteristics of network wiring.

2. Comprehensiveness

During the networking process, the placement of networks, servers, and other devices should be considered comprehensively, and the network layout should be considered comprehensively, so that various devices and wiring systems should be placed in a reasonable position as far as possible.

3. Reliability

Regardless of the network layout, the ultimate goal is to ensure that all the devices in our LAN can run reliably and stably, so that the network can operate normally.

4. Easy maintenance and upgrade

The networking of the network is not static. As the IT enterprise's business continues to grow, the originally established LAN needs to be constantly improved and expanded. In daily network operation and maintenance, when planning the network layout, you should consider the convenience of future network maintenance and upgrade operations.

II. Specific implementation requirements of network layout

For wired LAN, this is something we often encounter during enterprise network construction. We need to wiring the data center and office building. To plan the network layout, consider the equipment layout of the data center and the reasonable combination of the wiring system. Therefore, we must first plan and design the data center and cabling system, and then fully consider the network layout.

IDC Planning and Design

In order to ensure stable, secure, and reliable operation of networks and computer systems, as well as to ensure a good working environment for IDC room staff, the technology is advanced, economical, reasonable, safe, and applicable to ensure quality, comply with relevant national IDC Design Regulations.

1) anti-static

Static electricity will not only cause random faults to computer operations, but also lead to the breakdown and destruction of some components and dual-level circuits. In addition, it may affect the normal work and physical and mental health of operators and maintenance personnel.

2) Fire Prevention and theft prevention

During the design of the computer room, the fire suppression design of the data room should be considered. The design scheme of the IDC room can be determined based on the fire prevention level. The fire alarm of the computer room should be set up on duty room or monitoring site on the first floor. The data room should pay attention to the installation of anti-theft facilities. In specific scenarios, anti-theft doors, anti-theft locks, guards, and automatic alarm systems can be used.

3) lightning protection

Because the communication and power supply cables of the data center are mostly introduced to the data center from outside, it is vulnerable to lightning attacks. The design of Lightning Protection for the data center is particularly important. Lightning arresters shall be installed on the core line and telephone line of the computer communication cable.

4) moisturizing and heat preservation

The humidity in the IDC room should be kept at 20%-80%, and the temperature of the IDC room should be kept at 15-35 degrees Celsius. Installing the air conditioner to adjust the temperature is the best solution to this problem.
