With the development of Big Data , cloud computing and the Internet of Things ( IoT ), increasing demands are placed on data centres , in turn driving their advancement as the cornerstones of the intelligent digital world .

Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution builds next generation data centre intelligence , making full use of our proprietary smart lithium battery – SmartLi – to implement full lithium battery backup . It builds a smart and green data centre based on SmartLi inside , a smart screen visualising the Digital Twin and intelligent Operations and Maintenance ( O & M ).
Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution is more adaptable to the environment and easier to deploy . It is a one-stop solution to the “ Limitation of Area , Load Bearing , and Floor Height ”.
A modular design and standard architecture equate to fast installation and on-demand deployment . Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution- awarded the world ’ s first “ Uptime Tier IV Ready ” certification – it integrates power , cooling , racks , cabling and management system . This means it can be quickly deployed in a relatively small space , and at an extremely competitive price-point .
Changing the game , with SmartLi inside , 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 . Instead , air conditioner pipes and power and signal cables are routed from the top , meaning that equipment can be accommodated in ceiling heights
as low as 2.6 metres , far below the 3 metres minimum height required for a traditional data centre .
Elsewhere , the SmartLi Uninterruptible Power Supply ( UPS ) has extremely low load-bearing requirements – falling below 1000 kg / m 2 – meaning that the power supply system and Information Technology ( IT ) devices can be deployed in one same module .
Compared with lead-acid batteries , this high-density solution slashes the space needed for the lithium batteries by 70 %, meaning more revenue-generating IT cabinets can be deployed instead .
Finally , flexible capacity expansion becomes possible , with the Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution – with SmartLi inside – offering a fully modular backup power supply . This brings into reality a truly modular system , from the power module to the battery module , where enterprises only pay for what they need now , significantly reducing Capital Expenditure ( CAPEX ), simply expanding when the business grows .
Modular data centre
Huawei Smart Modular Data Centre Solution uses a 43-inch local touch screen to integrate information and communication technology , automatic optimisation , intelligent communications and infrastructure .
