With increasing complexity of the data center, the problems of power consumption, space, management, and maintenance costs are exposed gradually. The critical problem that chief information officers (CIOs) face is how to improve data center efficiency to make the data center become a service innovation center in the information age.
From the aspect of function, the data center quietly changes. The traditional data center is based on infrastructure, which is the IT platform of the service system and provides IT resources for the service system. However, the future data center integrates the information center and IT resources, which are distributed according to customers' needs and invoked by the service system flexibly. In addition, the data center is based on services, manages information in a centralized manner, and provides information support for service innovation.
Huawei provides a next-generation service-oriented green data center solution, which helps CIOs to solve the problems of power consumption, space, management, and maintenance costs and to achieve IT benefit and income increase.
IT Benefit Increase
Based on infrastructure, the traditional data center uses the chimney construction mode, where a lot of servers, storage devices, and switching devices are piled up. However, due to service system isolation and lack of centralized management, the device usage is low. According to DC statistics, the device usage of the current data center is as follows:
The traditional data center has a low energy utilization and the power usage effectiveness (PUE) of the data center ranges from 2.7 to 3.0. In theory, the PUE of an energy-saving data center is within 2.0. It is complex to reduce the PUE of a data center, which requires a professional team to provide an end-to-end solution including consultation, design, equipment, and integration delivery.
With rich experience in equipment room construction and deep understanding of the next-generation data center technologies, Huawei provides multiple services during equipment room construction and reconstruction, including:
By providing equipment room construction and reconstruction services, Huawei helps customers to construct a next-generation service-oriented green data center, which reduces the TCO and is more competitive in information management.
IT Income Increase
The products and services of Huawei support BS 15000 (IT Service Management Standard) and ISO 17799 (Information technology – Security techniques – Code of practice for information security management). Huawei not only helps customers to achieve IT benefit increase but also provides the following quality services for customers through advanced software technologies and global service system:
Through the service management, development, design, and innovation services, Huawei helps customers to maintain sustained development in the network times with information services as the center and to possess long-term development and competitiveness
