Does your data center have enough power?

At present, although there is no official commercial operation of the cloud Computing data center. However, in the increasingly mature cloud computing technology, based on cloud computing new products, new technologies are emerging in the background of the situation. Users in the new, rebuilt the data center, if not using some cloud technology, may be embarrassed to greet others! However, there is a critical problem that is often overlooked-is your data center sufficient?

Restricting the three limits of engine room expansion

Beijing Banyano Group is a focus on data center computer room integration products and engineering research and development, production, sales and service group enterprises. Banyano by Beijing Bo Yue Can Engineering Technology Co., LTD., Beijing Branch cents Information Technology Research Institute, Beijing Banyan Albert Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Kedihonchenko Trade Co., Ltd. constitute. Mr. Cheng, founder of the group, has been the president of China in the well-known data center engine room, such as APC, Avocent, and has a wealth of industry experience and unique strategic vision. When I interviewed Banyano Group chairman Cheng, he introduced to us three "limits" that affect the utilization rate of the data center.

The first limit is "space". In the earliest data center room, because most of the use of high and large tower server, the data center room waste very high, so often the power supply is sufficient, but the space is not enough.

The second limit is "power". Later, the data center computer room began to use a large number of rack-type servers, effectively reducing the footprint of the server space. Suddenly found that "electricity" is not enough! This is mainly due to the lack of power supply to the transformer. and want to expand for the power, is a very bones thing, even if the user has this capital budget, want to input, electricity Supply Bureau also not necessarily can carry out.

The third limit is "refrigeration". It is already beginning to happen: to put several near-tile cabinets in the computer room, it is likely that they will not be able to be placed. The biggest reason is refrigeration. The average refrigeration of the machine room can be solved, the partial refrigeration of these cabinets cannot be solved. Every near-tile cabinet is a huge heat source. Lack of refrigeration will inevitably lead to the equipment scrapped! And in the future, high-density computer room will become the trend of development. It is when Low-cost blade servers appear, high-density cabinets will become mainstream. , the refrigeration problem of high-density room will be highlighted.

Unification and integration--the development trend of integration of data center computer room Construction

When talking about the solution of the building of the data center room, the process does not talk about Banyano's own technology much. But put forward a very objective "unification, integration" of data center room integration Construction Viewpoint:

In the future of data center building, it products, networks and infrastructure will be organically combined to form a comprehensive integrated solution. IBM, HP, and Dell now have their own integration departments. Thus in the construction of data center, can provide customers from the network, server, to the building of the integration of the overall solution. However, in the current domestic manufacturers, this is not enough attention. You know, in the data center, cabinets, power supply, refrigeration, ventilation and other infrastructure needs a very professional technical standards. In particular, the high density data center will become a trend after the future demand for cloud computing applications increases. At this point, the upgrade of the datacenter will not be possible without an in-depth understanding of the application requirements.

Deep thinking--Is your data center "force"?

Although at present, because of the application requirements of the constraints, high-power, high-density data center room is limited to some high-performance computing applications. However, with the further increase of network access bandwidth, large and medium enterprises will be unified management, quality supervision and other work to the direction of network management migration. SMEs will also be their own product promotion and branding work through the network to achieve. At that time, there is bound to be a large number of network data and business processing application requirements. This kind of network demand will certainly promote the enterprise Cloud computing Network application development. At that time, the climax of Enterprise data center construction will also emerge. However, if the Enterprise data Center room in the construction of the future development if not in-depth analysis, the future application of the need to not fully understand the consequences will be very serious.

It's better to think for a rainy day than to mend your mind--is your data center good enough?
