Data Center energy consumption is amazing, cstor A8000 to fire

With the deepening of the informatization process, the amount of data produced by the world every year has multiplied, which has greatly driven the construction and development of the global Data center. 2012, the world's data center investment in 2011 from about 86 billion U.S. dollars to http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/33666.html ">1050 billion, increased by nearly 22%." At present, there are nearly 540,000 data centers operating in the country, and with the rapid growth of 18% of the compound growth rate each year, the infrastructure construction market related to the data center will also reach billions of scales.

According to relevant data statistics show, although the domestic data center construction development is relatively fast, but the energy consumption problem is also more prominent, at present the domestic data center Pue average value basically all is above 2.5, with the European and American region Pue general values 1.8 below also has the big disparity. Although China is the world's second largest energy power, but the per capita share is relatively low, the solution of energy problem has long been incorporated into national strategic planning. Therefore, the energy consumption of data center has become one of the important factors in the construction of informatization, and also become a stumbling block for the development of IDC industry, green energy-saving is no longer simply a slogan, but has become the inevitable trend and direction of the development of data center.

Recently, the Ministry of Information and Development Commission, Ministry of Land and Resources, the Electricity Regulatory Commission, the Energy Bureau jointly issued "Data center construction guidance", "opinion" clearly pointed out that the construction of data center should be to promote sustainable development capacity as the goal, to save resources as the focus, and promote the construction of large and For new data centers under 1.5, the Government will give preferential policies to the pue of electricity, land and so on. Ministry of Communications Development director Zhang Feng also at the press conference, clearly pointed out that the future of data center construction of the most important guide is to reduce energy consumption.

To this end, the construction side of the data center began to reduce energy consumption through the transformation of data center location, computer room design, building materials, refrigeration, power supply, IT equipment, application system and so on, there were similar cases such as Iceland Building data center, replacing alternating current with DC power to reduce energy consumption. However, experts pointed out that to achieve the best energy saving, reduce the server and other IT equipment power consumption, is the most effective way.

Recently, the 32nd Institute of China Electronics Technology Group, based on Intel®atom®processor for storage development of 64-bit Low-power hardware platform, and the cloud to create storage independent innovation Core products Cstor cloud storage System fully integrated with the cloud storage machine, Comprehensive display of a new generation of high-density cloud storage products ultra-high capacity, ultra-high performance, energy saving and environmental protection of green charm. Compared with traditional cloud storage products, this product can carry total storage capacity up to 1824TB, single storage node peak power consumption less than 0.15KW, than traditional cloud storage products energy saving 3 times times, is the world's first 64-bit ultra-low-power high-density storage server, many advantages to win over traditional storage products.

With the continuous development of China's data center construction, Low-power server and other IT equipment will revolutionize the construction of the data center, I believe that with such as Cstor A8000 such low-power products continue to come out, the data center to achieve green energy saving will no longer be just an armchair!
