Business Data Center market presents two trends

With the rapid development of information and industrialization, as well as the new ideas and new industries such as cloud computing, Internet of Things and intelligent city, the market of China's commercial data center will continue to grow. For example, IDC data shows that 2012, the overall Business data center room number is expected to increase by 11.7% growth rate, the IDC service market will grow rapidly with 25.1% annual growth rate.

In addition to the number of growth, according to the reporter observed that the domestic business data center market also presents the following two major trends:

Large and super large data centers are increasing

In recent years, there have been frequent reports of building large, even oversized data centers around the world. For example, at the end of 2011, the world's flagship data centre for Takahashi was officially operational, with a floor area of 24,000 square meters. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Peng's Telecommunications Media Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Dr. Peng") also announced the formal opening of the Beijing Jiuxianqiao New Generation data center. It is reported that Dr. Peng Jiuxianqiao Data Center has a total construction area of more than 30,000 square meters, can accommodate more than 6,000 standard cabinets, design server installed capacity of more than 80,000 units, is currently built in Asia's largest single data center. In addition, Langfang, Hebei is building a construction area of up to 620,000 square meters of super large data centers.

Although large, mega-data centers are invested at a very large scale (the total investment of Dr. Peng's Jiuxianqiao data center is 650 million yuan), this large data center is typically designed and built with world-class technology and equipment and is a representative of high-end data centers.

For example, the Suzhou National Science Data Center, the world data on the flagship Overseas Takahashi Data Center, Dr. Peng Jiuxianqiao data Center are guided by modular design, reached the Tier3 above standards, and in the green energy-saving to do very well. According to Gao Ming, deputy general manager of the Division of Data Center, Dr. Peng Jiuxianqiao data Center through energy-saving cooling towers and plate heat exchanger to achieve free refrigeration, and the use of heat recovery technology, so that the heat generated in the room for the office area heating. In addition to green energy conservation, the data center is also notable in terms of environmental protection-the use of the latest physical water treatment technology, does not produce chemical sewage, the world's cleanest generator set Caterpillar 3516BHD series of high-pressure diesel generators, all projects using environmental protection materials and so on.

There is no doubt that this high quality data center fits the needs of many high-end enterprise users today. Yianyang, general manager of the National Securities Information Technology department, told reporters that when they studied the public cloud platform of the securities industry, they found that the biggest constraint would probably come from the domestic basic environment. The importance of data centers as part of the cloud computing infrastructure is self-evident.

Second, cloud computing to help IDC return to value competition

China's cloud computing services market will be more than $1 billion trillion in 2014, IDC data show. For IDC service providers, cloud computing also brings them new business models and development opportunities.

For a long time, due to excessive concentration in the basic business, IDC industry homogeneous competition phenomenon is obvious. Price war, profit margin is very small. Some small and medium-sized IDC Enterprises also because of long-term low-cost management and unsustainable, to the "blind alley." Paradoxically, some value-added services that users need are difficult to meet. And cloud computing can let IDC service providers of various new products and new services, so as to get rid of the past homogenization of low price competition, return to the value of the benign development track.

Some of the sharp eyes of IDC service providers have been the first to seize the opportunity. For example, Dr. Peng developed a "cloud strategy", and invested 200 million yuan in its Jiuxianqiao data center to build a cloud computing platform, launched the "Clouds Security", "Cloud storage", "Cloud host" and "cloud acceleration" and many other cloud applications business.

Yang Xueping, chairman of Telecom Media Group Co., Ltd., said that in the future, Dr. Peng will also build a cloud computing service platform in many key cities nationwide, and launch various cloud services for government, finance, games and other fields.

However, Yang Xueping also stressed that cloud computing services is only one of its value-added services, the company will be through a variety of industry applications and solutions, the existing 18 data centers integrated into the business cluster advantages, resource sharing, integrated collaboration, complementary data center group. On this basis, the integration of server, storage, bandwidth, computer room and other resources, so that the data center from a single mode of dependence on the sale of resources to rely on a variety of specialized outsourcing services and innovative application of new models, thus becoming the whole industry chain of the Internet integrated services and application providers.
