Huawei leading-edge data center solution and modular UPS become cynosure of DCW

[London, UK, April 14, 2016]From April 12 to 13, 2016, Data Center World (“DCW”), the largest data center exhibition, was held in London. Huawei showcased its intelligent micro-module data center solution and high-efficiency modular UPS, becoming the cynosure of the DCW. The leading 97.5% high efficiency modular UPS has attracted much attention at this event.

UPS with 97.5% Module Efficiency, Leading in the Industry

Data center is the fifth energy-intensive industry, with an annual energy consumption of about 400 billion kWh. Europe has strengthened its energy conservation and emission reduction plans year by year. Data center energy efficiency improvement has become a focus in the DCW. A reliable and efficient power distribution system is at the center of the data center revolution.

Huawei's research on modular UPS as well as the practice proves that the UPS solution can have a high efficiency with a low load, that faulty modules can be quickly identified and isolated, and that modules can be hot-swapped online for replacement. With up to 160 parallel modules, Huawei's modular UPS can still run reliably, providing the most preferential power supply solution for data centers.

Roland Huempfner, Huawei's senior network energy consultant in West Europe, said on the DCW that "Huawei's modular UPS solution uses modules with efficiency up to 97.5% when the system load is 40% of the rated load. Compared with traditional UPS solutions with 86% efficiency, Huawei's modular UPS solution excels in efficiency, and cuts energy bills considerably. In addition, compared with mainstream traditional UPS solutions, Huawei's integrated UPS solution provides a power density which is twice greater, and reduces the footprint by more than 50%. More space saved for business equipment means more revenues."

Modular Data Center, a New Start

Development of the ICT industry has brought us a brand-new data era. Massive data and information also draw great importance to modern data center construction. However, for a traditional data center, finance, time, space, infrastructure, energy, and human resources have always been restrictive factors from construction to operation and maintenance (O&M). How to make full use of limited resources and obtain most benefits from data centers are also a key topic in the DCW.

Sanjay Sainani, Huawei's vice president for the IT & data center business in Middle East, made the speech on "Maximizing Resources for Intelligent Data Centers", and said that "Huawei has abundant experience in the ICT industry, and has proposed the intelligent modular data center solution, features in high efficiency, facilitates O&M, saves financial investment, and reduces human resources required, outdoing traditional data centers in many aspects. Data center components are fully digitalized to support more reliable precision control, and have converged wireless communications technologies and intelligent expert system to redefine data center O&M. The O&M platform can also realize more efficient resource sharing. Becoming more intelligent is the future of data centers".

In recent years, Huawei has made continuous investment in the data center industry. Thanks to its excellent production solutions and service capabilities, Huawei has won many awards such as the DCD award. According to analysis by IHS, Huawei's container data center rank No.1 in global shipment. And according to CCID consulting, ICTresearch, Huawei's modular data center, and modular UPS products are on the top of China deliveries, helping users around the world to build various types of data centers with high performances.
