Cloud computing drives the transformation of data center to modular

----Interpretation of Cloud box: A new generation of modular data centers

It is well-known that cloud computing is the core of the fourth information technology revolution, and the next 3-5 years will be the focus of global wrestling. In the three technology areas of cloud computing-smart terminals, broadband networks and data centers-the datacenter is at the core. As the basic platform of cloud computing, data center is not only the guarantee of the global discourse right in the era of cloud computing, but also the key point of guaranteeing our country's information security and realizing our own controllable.

With the rapid popularization of cloud computing applications, all kinds of cloud-based business models have been rapidly developed, but no matter which cloud computing business model, if you want to provide large-scale, highly reliable, market-competitive IT services, there is an urgent need for large-scale, flexible, low-cost data center to support.

However, the traditional data center is usually based on the conditions of the existing building to divide the various types of functional zoning, at that time the development prospects are not clear, only through small steps, exploratory construction methods, the latter gradually adjusted. Therefore, the use of the process gradually exposed many problems:

First, the construction period is long and the investment is big. Traditional data centers are based on the original communication room specifications planning and construction, need to go through the project, planning, acceptance and so on more than 10 links, cumbersome procedures, resulting in the overall construction cycle is too long, the shortest will not be less than 1 years, generally have a few years, and project investment, technical complexity.

Second, the elastic difference after completion. Machine room construction, equipment deployment is also very primitive, the traditional mode is a single unit of products, shelves, on-line and other deployment work cumbersome, deployment speed limited. If meet the sudden demand, especially the emergence of new business opportunities, its capacity to expand has become a major IDC challenge.

The third is low deployment density. Currently deployed products are rack-oriented, low integration, power supply and other auxiliary modules occupy a lot of physical space, so that the traditional data center deployment density is limited, thereby limiting the data center fixed investment efficiency.

Four is extremely high energy consumption. According to incomplete statistics, the traditional data center equipment energy consumption of about 42% of the total energy consumption, while refrigeration, power supply and lighting and other energy consumption accounted for about 58%, therefore, effectively improve energy efficiency, to achieve green energy conservation is a future data center needs to address another important issue.

To sum up, cloud computing has brought the three challenges of scale, cost, elasticity, the extensive IDC model specific performance for the construction cycle long, poor elasticity, management manual, deployment project, resource utilization Low energy consumption high many problems, IDC will gradually transition to the data center.

The birth of the cloud box has completely changed the data center construction cycle long, one-time investment, high energy consumption, poor scalability status, so that customers in the low investment situation, rapid, flexible, green deployment of IT resources and provide services. This change will not only help China to achieve the development of Low-carbon energy-saving green information industry, but also to accelerate the development of China's cloud computing industry, so that more people become rich, convenient, green cloud computing services and applications directly beneficiaries.

Cloud Box: Data center of Cloud computing era

The cloud box is used as a modular design concept, so it is also called "Modular Data Center". Modular refers to the cloud box by a number of independent modules, each module with the computer room operation of one or more system functions, these Plug and Play function modules by simply assembling can constitute a complete computer room operating environment. And the cloud box with high-density, Low-carbon energy-saving, rapid deployment, perfect customization, rapid expansion, mobile and other multiple advantages.

The cloud box covers an area of 1/4 of the traditional data center, save 50% of the energy consumption of the traditional data center, 10 times times the delivery speed, 6-10 times higher than the traditional data center capacity, can be professionally customized for customers, and can be deployed on demand in any environment, any scenario. One of the biggest highlights is the combination of data center functions and cloud applications. The data center of the cloud computing age equals 4 Chinese national digital libraries, storing the global Blu-ray high-definition movie 18,000, which can be run synchronously by virtual 12800 terminals.

The cloud box uses the container as the carrier, puts in the container the machine room operation environment needs each kind of equipment, for instance power equipment, refrigeration equipment, server equipment, fire fighting equipment, monitoring equipment and so on. Product series from the 10U, 20U of micro-data center, to a number of 42U standard cabinets composed of small and medium-sized data centers, and then to the cloud box as a unit of the yard-type large-scale data center, to meet the needs of customers multiple scenarios, multiple applications.

Application of modular data center of cloud box

The modular datacenter is a trend for future data center development, but at the same time also face a lot of challenges, such as in the cabinet, distribution, refrigeration, deployment, operation, application and so on, cloud box as the World cloud box independent innovation research and development design of the modular data center products, it cabinets in addition to the mini system and customized outside, All adopt 42U Cabinet, the power of single it cabinet is up to 20kW, and traditional it cabinet is only 4 KW. Cabinet back plate using advanced frozen water coil, each group of Backplane can provide 27kW cooling, high-density airtight space, accurate refrigeration, can quickly take away the heat generated by high-density server, the use of chilled water air-conditioning system and free cooling, than the wind-cooled data center 40% power saving. And according to it capacity, dynamic adjustment of refrigeration power and flow, on-demand refrigeration. Full redundancy of power and heat dissipation of the cloud box, including the transmission to the rack of independent power supply, also equipped with intelligent fire system, intelligent induction temperature fire alarm system, very early smoke alarm system (VESDA) and gas fire extinguishing system, unified in the OS platform alarm, in line with the national Fire and computer room construction standards.

The cloud box can be quickly deployed and rapidly expanded, while satisfying the high density, low cost and low carbon energy saving application scenarios, including industrial parks, research institutes, intelligent cities, smart communities, colleges and universities, IDC expansion of new, disaster preparedness centers. The Cloud box is only 4-8 weeks and can be deployed and delivered, compared with the traditional IDC, the speed is nearly 10 times times higher.

About Cloud Box

Cloud box is the creation of the Beijing cloud computing base, from the World cloud box independent design, research and development, production of modular data center series of products collectively, its use of containers as a carrier, in the container to place the operating environment of the machine room for a variety of equipment modules required, such as power equipment, refrigeration equipment, server equipment, fire equipment, monitoring equipment. Product series from the 10U, 20U of micro-data center, to a number of 42U standard cabinets composed of small and medium-sized data centers, and then to the cloud box as a unit of the yard-type large-scale data center, to meet the needs of customers multiple scenarios, multiple applications.
