Physical layer architecture practice of data center infrastructure in apparel industry

Sustainable development of apparel industry: informatization is imperative

Textile and garment industry is China's leading traditional manufacturing industry, but also China's first to achieve market-oriented, at the same time the market more fully competitive industry. At present, compared to other industries, the textile and apparel industry inside and outside development is said to be optimistic: export, according to China's customs data, 2012 1-June, China's textile and apparel exports amounted to 117.1 billion U.S. dollars, to maintain a small positive growth; According to China National Bureau of Statistics, 2012 1-June, China's textile industry has increased the proportion of domestic sales to 84%. In the current global economic downturn, China's textile and apparel industry, whether export or domestic sales, a success. However, how to improve the apparel industry responsiveness to the market, innovation in the business, and the realization of a better integration with the global economy, and so on, is the service enterprises can stand out in the industry's important joint point. To promote information construction, mining business data value or will become a way to learn from. Enterprises can successfully realize the information construction, the most important to play the foundation of a ring from the enterprise room or data center efficient operation or not. Fujian Seven Wolves Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Seven Wolves") informatization started early, information technology gold is higher. However, "the pace of information always follow the business in the walk, the demand is always ahead, we need to find a way to deal with it." Said Zhiyong, the Seven Wolves group. In response to the continuing demand for IT support from the business, seven wolves have chosen to build a 500-square-meter large data center in Xiamen and fully deploy the Schneider Electric Infineon solution at the physical level of IT infrastructure to create an efficient green data center that supports cloud computing, To drive the business stable operation and 5-7 years of smart expansion to provide strong protection.

Seven Wolves. Data center features and requirements: Integrity + sustainability

Seven wolves. Xiamen Data Center covers an area of about 500 square meters, positioning for the Seven Wolves group of the entire data center system construction project, the data center operation will directly affect the seven wolves of the entire group information network of normal and stable operation. The key point of the whole data center construction is to grasp the whole. "We store nearly 4,000, the room has any trouble, customers will be very worried, we will stand in the customer's perspective to consider, do our best to help customers solve." Zhiyong further stressed the importance of continuous uninterrupted operation of the Xiamen data Center.

An All-in-one service for efficient data centers: infrastruxure™ Integrated System

Overall planning and continuous operation will become the seven Wolves in Xiamen Data center efficiency or not two major assessment indicators, so the data center in any one level of construction to choose the product services to consider the integrity of the implementation. At the front of the data center, the physical facilities level, seven wolves total budget 2 million, accordingly, seven wolves application of Schneider Electric APC infrastruxure™ Integrated System Integration Services: Uninterruptible power supply (UPS), air-conditioning refrigeration and ancillary cabinets, cabinets and other products and services, To a lifecycle service that covers design, deployment, installation, and maintenance from a data center.

• Key Power Module UPS take care of key business RAS

The data center project will be related to the seven wolves. The normal and stable operation of the whole group Information network, thus the user has a high degree of available stability, monitoring and convenient security and intelligent maintenance requirements for UPS.

In the data center UPS system selection, Schneider Electric for its choice of 240KW capacity of the two sets of cabinet ups, mainly to take into account scalability requirements, 32KW capacity backup 0.5 hours, battery configuration for the 2v-65ah Battery 32 section. A battery cabinet with 2 16 cabinets. All diameters are structured according to the 48KVA load that can be expanded to the future.

In the data center UPS power supply System selection, the first use of a modular UPS--symmetra PX 96KW to meet the "on-demand expansion" to achieve both the future power expansion needs, but also to the important load to provide power redundancy protection role. The entire infrastruxure adopts the N redundancy capability scalable array structure, allowing users to increase or decrease the power module. In the Infrastruxure 19-inch cabinet contains: up to 10 16kw/16kva power modules (Power modules using dual-transform technology and the input power factor correction function), and the use of N redundancy configuration, the use of automatic bypass design to improve system reliability; Battery module with standard backup time and visual LCD display panel, etc.

Second, the UPS host equipment selection, using modular design of the SYPX host, can achieve online hot-plug at the same time the key components of the mainframe using redundant design, to achieve the reliability of single host more than traditional dual-computer backup system reliability. The modular UPS host can also help users to flexibly expand the host power according to the actual actual load requirements.

"Originally we have a small piece of function that is, the room is relatively small, security is not enough, such as today's power outage, tomorrow empty stop, or the ups stopped." We feel pain because we have been hurt by it. Just feel that this thing should have a backup, the machine is faulty, I have to redundancy. Air-conditioning is also a n way, is really a failure, I have a second. "Take care of the Seven wolves. Zhiyong that the role of redundancy is not negligible, while the Infineon integrated system is providing a redundant backup of satisfaction.

The modular design of the Infineon modular ups provided by Schneider Electric can improve the system's high reliability, and its UPS output quality is higher and the UPS input power factor can reach 0.99,thd less than 6%, which has a benign green effect. In system upgrades, As long as the user increases or reduces the UPS Power module can achieve the UPS system expansion or reduction, and the addition of battery module (or expansion of the battery cabinet), you can extend the standby time of UPS system to achieve a convenient upgrade of the system, modular hot-swappable design, can achieve simple maintenance; Because all the Infineon mode UPS parts are universal, Therefore, the user spare parts can be relatively reduced, the user can according to the actual needs of the timely increase in UPS power modules to achieve UPS growth, reduce the initial investment of enterprises. At the same time in the operation of cost savings, modular UPS performance is also better, assuming that the load is now 80KW, if the initial use of the British-fly system (Infrastruxure 100KW (n+2)), the equipment with load: (80/150) kw=53%

The efficiency curve of the Infineon system is:

At this time the equipment efficiency is 96%.

· Inrow row-level refrigeration: Green IT-driven business

Clothing industry as a traditional manufacturing, the entire supply chain from the initial research and development design to production, and then to channel sales to the end of the customer's struggle, the complexity of the business from within to outside puzzlement. The growing complexity of the business requires good IT support from the datacenter. The realization of the data center's good IT support depends on the integration of new technologies in the data center, such as virtualization, thin client, server consolidation, the broader point is cloud computing, which has led to high density in the data center, and high-density temperature can not be ignored, environmental issues have been put on the agenda. "In fact, we have always taken into account the energy-saving environment, for example, we do such a large room, you will find my things are very fine." One of them is our second room, our second room is not open, because it is now useless. If you open a large space, must be open for a long time, why did not boot to indicate that it is energy-saving. does not open the corresponding air-conditioning, does not open the corresponding electricity, this is very energy-saving, I use how many open. "Zhiyong tells the seven Wolf Data center on the idea of energy conservation and environmental protection, which coincides with Schneider Electric. To achieve green it, it is important to choose the refrigeration system. In the air-conditioning refrigeration system, the Seven Wolves choose APC infrastruxure inrow Row-level refrigeration system, Inrow line-level refrigeration architecture design is close to the heat source refrigeration, to avoid the equipment discharged from the hot air reflux to sensitive it equipment; by shortening the distance between the heat source and the refrigeration system, Accurate control of airflow to eliminate hot spots, and the air flow Containment system option by the air supply and return path to completely separate, to eradicate the heat caused by the large waste, the high efficiency refrigeration.
