How does the new technology impact the traditional data center?

In recent years, with the rapid development of information construction in China and the increasing application level of it technology, the construction of China's data center can enter a fast development stage. China's data center market for years of rapid growth, which with the chip, architecture, systems and software, cooling technology, virtualization applications, such as the rapid development of technology is inseparable, and cloud computing, large data and other emerging technologies to the traditional data center has brought great impact, through scientific and technological innovation for business integration, To build the next generation of data centers has become a priority.

With the increasing demand of data centralization and the continuous change of business model, traditional data center faces many challenges in energy consumption, efficiency, resource integration, rapid response and information security, such as huge investment, poor service ability, serious shortage of site, high operation cost, large energy consumption, poor security, Low availability is a problem that needs to be solved.

20 years ago, the change in server power was largely determined by the computational load in the processor and memory subsystem. Typically, significant power fluctuations are caused only by the disk drive spinning and the fan. However, in the more modern processing equipment, the new technology in the low power state and other benefits, but also make the power change range than 20 years ago greatly increased. This type of dynamic power change will cause the data center of the branch circuit overload, overheating, redundancy loss, problems are masked, and the enterprise business continuity, equipment performance, data preservation and other aspects of the destructive impact.

The company, represented by Schneider Electric, has launched a series of solutions to address the problems faced by traditional data centers. Its DCIM data center management platform Struxureware the ability to provide a comprehensive view of the combination of IT infrastructure and facility environments on which data center operations depend, integrating hardware and software to manage key operations in the data center. It enables enterprises to monitor the energy consumption of the entire data center, clearly understand the interdependence of each system, so as to help the enterprise IT and infrastructure efficiently run in the best state, reduce the overall data center management and operational complexity, reduce the data center Pue value.

In addition, in the micro-credit, micro-blog, mobile Internet development more and more rapid period of time, large data and social ecological environment balance of the dual challenges will also promote green data center solution innovation. At present, the trend of two-level differentiation of green center intensifies, more and more enterprises no longer build data center, but choose hosting to third party data center. Operators, BAT, banks and traditional software companies are expanding their data centers, which have led to conflicting demands for ecological balance and trends in the development of data centers. Therefore, when the business concentration, data concentration, massive data, management complexity has become the common characteristics of data construction, how to build green energy-saving data center has become the key to people's discussions.

At this stage, more and more enterprises want to be able to quickly deploy, modularity is the best solution, domestic and foreign manufacturers are actively strengthening the development of modularity, and Schneider Electric is undoubtedly one of the leaders, its own data center construction involves not only modular and standardized deployment methods, its advocacy of prefabrication, The concept of modularity has also become a new manifestation of its leading trend. Schneider Electric for Baidu's construction of the container data center is such a concrete embodiment.

We also have reason to believe that with the development of data center product trend, modular, green energy-saving, software definition Data center, container-type data center will be continuously studied and analyzed. Therefore, rapid deployment, low upfront investment, high-performance operation of the Green data center concept will be in China, in the cloud computing, large data times again to be practiced.
