Century interconnection Jiang Junhai: An important link of building green IDC

"The construction of our national Data Center began in 98-99 years, and I first entered the Telegraph Tower in Beijing, the early Sina Sohu server are desktops, crooked seven vertical eight placed, not rack-mounted, cabinet is not standard cabinet, the size is very short, the server's tail all highlight the cabinet, the machine room feel very hot, air-conditioning is not useful, There are also electric fans in the aisle. The cabinet is uneven in size, the largest Internet portal room in the 98. "Century interconnection chief engineer Jiang Junhai told IT168 reporter.

Jiang Junhai has been working in IDC data Center for more than 10 years, according to his story, the entire IDC data Center room for green energy-saving awareness is also slowly improving.

Energy saving must be done!

Century interconnection began to attempt IDC operation from 99, and first introduced the data center Datacenter concept into China. At that time, the knowledge of the data center is to install the server through the cabinet, and in the room in the orderly discharge cabinet, when the power of a single cabinet is about 1.5-2-kilowatt.

The concept of data center, the computer room equipment energy consumption is more and more intensive, power consumption is very big. For example, Century interconnection in the 2000-year building of the old engine room, running 10 years, monthly electricity costs about 1.2 million to 1.3 million, a year down the total of up to http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/1519.html "> 15 million. "I checked the data, 03-04 years or so we have less than 4000 square meters of small data centers, electricity consumption has been in Beijing ranked number, has become a large consumer of electricity in Beijing." ”

Century, the new data center of interconnection, scale and 03-04 years than a more expansive level. For example, in the M5 room of the century interconnected office building, covers an area of 5000 square meters, accommodating 700 cabinets; There is also a room for more than 2000 cabinets in the next courtyard; In addition, there is a container data center for the century Interconnection, while the newly built data center in Xian has been able to accommodate 1200 cabinets.

At the same time, the power supply capacity of a single cabinet has also increased rapidly, the century interconnection in Xian's data center, for example, a single cabinet power supply capacity of 4,000 KVA, the entire data center power supply capacity of more than 10,000 kVA, and the previous construction of the old room power supply capacity of only 4,000 KVA, the actual use of about 2000 KVA. The XI ' an data center consumes about 5.006 billion electricity per month and consumes about 600.07 billion of the annual electricity consumption, 5 times times the old data center.

"Electricity tariffs are a big chunk of IDC's data center operating costs," as the chief engineer of the century interconnection, can be said to be the century interconnection computer room construction and operation of the general housekeeper, Jiang Junhai's abacus to beat the sound: "Data center costs include electricity, equipment depreciation, operating personnel costs, maintenance costs ( Regular replacement of air-conditioning filter network, battery replacement regularly, as well as some of the basic cost of network bandwidth. "From the company's operations, energy saving is something that must be done, the profit margin immediately after the increase, the former may be 20%-30% of gross profit, energy saving is likely to be 25% or more than 30%!"
