FEATURE FusionPower 2.0 and SmartLi solution to the power system. With the design of ‘One Floor One DC’ (every floor works as an independent running data centre), FusionDC reshapes the architecture of prefabricated modular data centres. It also supports an elastic power density upgrade from 6/8kW per rack to 12kW per rack. According to SanJay Kumar Sainani, SVP and CTO of Huawei Global Data Centre DATA CENTRE INFRASTRUCTURE IS ESSENTIAL TO THE FUTURE INTELLIGENT SOCIETY. Facility Business, FusionDC 2.0 will help customers to build a simple, sturdy, smart, scalable and cost-saving data centre. Data centre facility trends and challenges Data centre infrastructure is essential to the future intelligent society. The rapid development of cloud computing and AI technologies will bring tremendous development opportunities and unprecedented challenges to the data centre infrastructure. First, cloud and AI will generate huge demands for IT resources and drive the development of large and hyperscale data centres. 10MW or even 100MW data centres have emerged. Second, the power consumption of chipsets and servers will increase rapidly. The power density of a single cabinet in the data centre will jump from 3kW–5kW to over 10kW. Such increase will put sub-systems of infrastructure under great pressure. Third, the data centre architecture will adopt more standardised, prefabricated and replicable design. Last, but not least, AI technologies will be widely used in data centre infrastructure to unleash the potential of sub-systems and improve O&M efficiency. FusionDC 2.0 concept and solution FusionDC 2.0 integrates AI technologies, iPower, iCooling and iManager into the solution. These technologies will maximise the TVO of the data centre. iPower transforms the passive alarm response to proactive warning, improving the reliability of power supply and distribution system of the data centre. iCooling uses AI and Deep Learning technology to optimise the cooling systems of data centres precisely, reducing the PUE by 8% to 15%. iManager manages the data centre infrastructure smartly, improving resource utilisation by 20%. In addition, FusionDC 2.0 integrates prefabricated modular building technologies. All modules are prefabricated and pre-commissioned before delivery, which simplify the on-site job and shorten delivery time by 50%. FusionDC also reshapes the power and cooling system by integrating advanced power electronics and heat management technologies. The future-oriented solution also supports elastic density upgrade. Huawei implements AI and digital technologies into the entire lifecycle of data centre, like planning, construction, operation, O&M and optimisation. Integration of digital technology with operation and maintenance make data centre planning, design and construction visualised, simplifies O&M and improves user experience significantly. Achievement and successful case In the prefabricated modular data centre industry, Huawei has been number one for five consecutive years in terms of global delivery units and, according to the latest IHS market report, has reached 25% of total market share. ◊ FUSIONDC 2.0 WILL HELP CUSTOMERS TO BUILD A SIMPLE, STURDY, SMART, SCALABLE AND COST-SAVING DATA CENTRE. www.intelligentdatacentres.com Issue 17 45
