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. ◊
