In 2013, many data center infrastructure vendors and even some IT manufacturers are vigorously promoting their integrated data center solutions, integrating IT equipment with computer room infrastructure, and even a cabinet can be regarded as a small data center, which is the most direct embodiment of the idea of modularization and standardization of the data center. Schneider Electric is a leader in the trend of integrated data center, and the Yingfei integrated system, which has been launched for a decade, is the best example. After large enterprise customers have gradually accepted the concept of modular and integrated data center, Schneider Electric has pushed rare's methodology and solutions to customers with many branches and the small and medium-sized enterprise market. Mini- Infineon Integrated Systems solution takes on this responsibility.

Increase flexibility and deployment speed

Jin Dong, data center solutions business development manager of Schneider Electric IT Division, who has been responsible for the sales of Yingfei integrated systems, said in an exclusive interview with our reporter that Mini- Yingfei integrated systems conforms to the needs of the rapid development of the current cloud computing market. With the advent of the cloud era, the development of data centers is polarized: on the one hand, many very large-scale cloud data centers have been built across the country; on the other hand, enterprises need an access point to connect to these cloud data centers, which is why Mini- Infineon integrated system was born. " So far, Mini- Yingfei integrated system has been large-scale deployment in telecom operators, banks and various enterprises, user feedback is very positive. " Jindong said, "the Mini- Yingfei integrated system has the characteristics of fast deployment, flexibility and easy management, which well inherits the ideas and advantages of the Yingfei integrated system."

Compared with other similar products, the advantages of Mini- Yingfei integrated system are mainly reflected in the following aspects: it is a very mature solution, and Yingfei integrated system has been sold in China for ten years; in the past ten years, Yingfei integrated system has accumulated a large number of customers and obtained very valuable opinions and suggestions from customers, which plays a very important role in constantly optimizing and improving Yingfei integrated system. The Yingfei integrated system has always maintained very high availability and has brought great value to customers in terms of data center energy efficiency, construction period and cost.

Mini- Infineon Integrated system is a highly integrated solution that simplifies the deployment of data centers and can be solved by Schneider Electric alone even if there are component problems, eliminating the embarrassment of multiple suppliers wrangling with each other over maintenance problems. "Schneider Electric's vision is to simplify all processes in the data center, including design, project implementation, operations and maintenance," Jindong said.' Simplification'is the key word of Schneider Electric's data center strategy. We provide an efficient design tool that covers the whole process from data center consulting, design to implementation, which can improve the speed of data center construction and is very flexible. Whether we build a large data center or a small data center, we all follow the same ideas and methods. The flexibility of the data center and the agility of deployment are fully demonstrated in the Mini- Infineon integrated system. "

Improve the energy efficiency of each subsystem

Chinese users are paying more and more attention to the energy efficiency of data centers. An obvious example is that many users reflect that electricity charges are a huge burden. "the overall energy efficiency of both old and new data centers has been greatly improved than before. Chinese users have gradually begun to pay attention to energy efficiency indicators when designing and choosing specific solutions for data centers." Jin Dong said.

Over the years, Schneider Electric has helped customers transform traditional data centers, using many innovative technologies and products, and has always implemented the ideas and methods advocated by Schneider Electric to achieve energy efficiency in data centers. "A lot of people begin to care about the PUE value that reflects the energy efficiency of the data center to a certain extent, which is a good thing." Jindong dialect peak changed, "but the lower the PUE value is, it does not necessarily mean that the energy of the entire data center will be saved. For example, if the power consumption of the server increases, the PUE value will become smaller. Therefore, at the beginning of the design of the data center, we have to do the energy efficiency analysis, and will list the energy efficiency of each subsystem separately."

Jindong also stressed that to improve the overall efficiency of IT, the use of management software is also very important. For example, through some measurement tools and management software, you can find the "zombie server" in the data center, take it offline and improve the energy efficiency of the entire system.

Talking about the focus of Schneider Electric in the Chinese market, Jin Dong summed up the following points: strive to achieve new breakthroughs in traditional industries such as finance and telecommunications; continue to meet the needs of cloud computing and Internet customers; pay attention to the rigid needs of small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction of data centers; in the future, Schneider Electric data center solutions business products will focus on software and lifecycle management and services.
