Modular data center is to cope with the changes of cloud computing, virtualization, centralization, high density and other servers, improve the operational efficiency of the data center, reduce energy consumption, and achieve rapid expansion without affecting each other. Micro-module data center means that multiple micro-modules with independent functions and unified input and output interfaces and micro-modules in different regions can back up each other and form a complete data center through the arrangement and combination of related micro-modules. The micro-module data center is an integrated, standard, optimal, intelligent, highly adaptive infrastructure environment and highly available computing environment.

Construction of traditional computer room:

The traditional computer room generally uses industrial air conditioning to cool the whole space of the computer room, or uses precision air conditioning to supply air under the floor. The first way is because there is no distinction between hot and cold channels, the refrigeration efficiency is low; the second way can only be considered when the net height of the computer room is relatively abundant, so there are also requirements for the computer room.

(1) the problems faced by traditional data centers:

1. Set a long period

According to the actual situation of the project construction, the traditional data center construction cycle is usually subdivided into the decision-making stage, the implementation preparation stage, the implementation stage and the completion stage. The whole construction cycle is about 400 days.

2. Poor scalability

Scalability is very important for adaptability. Based on the analysis of future business requirements, system capacity is planned according to the worst-case scenario, but they are unable to foresee what will happen three to four years later, resulting in overbuilding.

3. High energy consumption

The operation of the huge power loss data center requires a lot of power. The traditional construction does not take into account the problems of power consumption, refrigeration and air flow management. The PUE (PowerUsageEffectiveness) of many data centers is on the high side, using environmental power equipment with high reliability in the conventional sense, but these equipment are often inefficient, and the PUE of the data center is above 2.0 or even higher. This means that about half of the energy used by the data center is consumed on IT loads and the other half on network critical physical infrastructure, including power supplies, cooling, and lighting.

4. It is difficult to operate and maintain the computer room.

IT operation and maintenance staff are facing many problems and are stuck in the predicament of low service quality: extensive operation and maintenance, the resource account is not clear; coupled with the alternation of operation and maintenance personnel, the operation and maintenance personnel do not understand all IT resources, let alone management; lack of unified service interface personnel, fault response and fault handling tracking confusion The optimization of system operation and maintenance requires IT personnel to accumulate a large number of data and reports to draw conclusions, but the daily IT operation and maintenance management is difficult to effectively count these data.

Modular computer room:

The biggest difference between the modular computer room and the traditional computer room is that it can maximize the use of cooling power to dissipate heat for the equipment. Because it adopts the closed cold channel mode, the cold air is isolated from the hot air, and the overall refrigeration efficiency is improved; the air conditioner and the IT cabinet are placed side by side at intervals, and the horizontal air supply air of the air conditioner is used to blow cold air directly to the cabinet to meet its heat dissipation needs, reduce energy consumption by more than 30%, and save a lot of operating costs for customers. Secondly, the modular computer room can be deployed quickly. Because it completes the pre-installation of the cabinet before leaving the factory, the site only needs to turn on the external power supply, fix the cabinet and other simple operations can be used.

1. Speed up deployment and shorten the construction cycle

The micro-module data center can speed up the planning and design, and the system structure can be configured in a reasonable way according to the design goal, and the batch production of micro-module can realize spot supply, thus improving the delivery speed; standardized connection mode can reduce the workload of on-site configuration and connection, and speed up installation speed. The construction cycle of micro-module data center can be greatly shortened. The implementation phase of traditional data center needs from July to August, and the construction of micro-module can be shortened to 2-3 months.

2. Expand and build by stages

With the micro-module architecture, the data center can be gradually increased, so that from one micro-module to dozens of micro-modules can be built in stages according to the demand. The configuration of IT space of any size in a large data center is optimal. The micro-module data center solution significantly reduces the cost of the data center during its useful life.

3. Quasi-module, stable and reliable

The micro-module data center adopts modular, standardized and highly integrated design, which makes the whole system highly stable. At the same time, according to customer demand, the micro-module data center can provide N, Nissl, 2N and other configuration schemes on the power backup scheme to meet the highest Tier4 level of TIA-942.

4. Green, energy saving

The power cost of a data center during its useful life is the largest in TCO (TotalCostofOwnership). Compared with the traditional computer room, the cooling efficiency of the micro-module data center is increased by more than 12%. Combined with water cooling system and natural cooling system, the PUE of micro-module data center can be reduced to less than 1.5.

5. Intelligent management and efficient operation

Intelligent management system can help customers save energy and reduce consumption, achieve multi-level and fine energy consumption management in data room, and accurately locate additional energy loss points through a variety of reports. Based on the analysis of big data, the energy-saving optimization scheme is output and the green data computer room is constructed. The best asset management is to manage the life cycle of the assets of the whole network to achieve closed-loop management of asset information to ensure timely data refresh and timely management. At the same time, help users to make asset maintenance plan, help customers to achieve active early warning in the maintenance plan, at the same time dynamically adjust the maintenance plan, output the optimization plan according to the current actual situation, and build the best asset management function.

KITOZER intelligent modular data center integrates power supply and distribution system, cabinet system, refrigeration subsystem, integrated wiring and intelligent management system. Based on the rapid development of cloud computing and mobile Internet services, the sudden increase in IT density and energy consumption make traditional data centers face many challenges. In order to meet the needs of cloud computing and virtualization in the future, effectively improve the work efficiency of data centers, and control investment costs, a new generation of data center infrastructure solutions are developed. Here are two solutions for intelligent modular data centers.
