A digital twin and unified management
Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution uses a 43-inch local touch screen to integrate information and communication technology ( ICT ), automatic optimisation , intelligent communications and infrastructure .
A Digital Twin is implemented for physical modular data centres and intelligent i3 features – iPower , iCooling and iManager – are also accommodated on the local smart screen :
Now any room can be a data centre . Indeed , with far lower requirements placed on net height , Huawei Modular Data Centre has no need for a traditional raised floor design .
• iPower : visualised data centre power distribution links , key modules to systems , and predictive maintenance
• iCooling : visualised cooling links and cooling energy efficiency optimisation boost power usage effectiveness ( PUE ) by 8 % to 15 %
• iManager : Global data centre visualisation , diagnosis , and optimisation reduce O & M costs by 35 %
NetEcovisualises the operating status of the equipment room environment , cooling , power supply , and distribution subsystems . It implements proactive defence , rapid fault location , and proactive fault isolation , making O & M far simpler for the centre ’ s staff , lowering skill requirements and helping to ensure stable services .
Huawei ’ s Smart Modular Data Centre was able to satisfy burgeoning business demand without the usual challenges entailed by rapid expansion and facilitate enterprise Digital Transformation . p
