Huawei Reveals Next-Generation Data Center Facility
PR96214
DONGGUAN, China, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Huawei revealed the definition of the Next-Generation Data Center Facility, and
unveiled PowerPOD 3.0, a brand-new power supply system, on May 26 in Dongguan,
China. The new rollouts, based on the collective wisdom and joint efforts
between Huawei Data Center Facility Team and industry experts, reaffirm
Huawei's commitment to building low-carbon, smart data centers.
Defining the Next-Generation Data Center Facility
Charles Yang, Senior Vice President of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Data Center
Facility Team, introduced the groundbreaking definition of the Next-Generation
Data Center Facility at the launch event. He said that technical experts and
industry authorities have reached a consensus on the four characteristics of
next-generation data center facilities after extensive and in-depth
discussions, that is, Sustainable, Simplified, Autonomous Driving, and Reliable.
Sustainable: Next-generation data center facilities will be fully green and
energy-efficient while maximizing the recycling of all data center materials.
In this way, the overall data center ecosystem will be eco-friendly and
environmentally sustainable. Sustainable data centers can be achieved by
utilizing green resources - electricity, land, and water - and maximizing the
recycling of used materials throughout the life cycle. In addition to the
extensively used Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), other metrics, including
Carbon Usage Effectiveness (CUE), Water Usage Effectiveness (WUE), and Grid
Usage Effectiveness (GUE), will also be used to measure data center
sustainability.
Simplified: Simplified architecture, power supply, and cooling embody the
evolution of the data center facility.
Simplified architecture brings innovative forms of buildings and equipment
rooms. If the prefabricated modular construction mode is used to construct a
1000-rack data center, the construction period can be reduced from more than 18
months to 6–9 months.
Simplified power supply reshapes components and links. It shortens the delivery
period from 2 months to 2 weeks. Simplified cooling maximizes heat exchange
efficiency by changing multiple heat exchanges to one heat exchange, and
shortening the cooling link.
Autonomous Driving: O&M automation, energy efficiency optimization, and
operation autonomy reshape the management of data centers' operation and
maintenance. O&M automation enables engineers to complete the inspection of
2000 racks in 5 minutes remotely. The energy efficiency optimization means an
optimal cooling strategy can be delivered via 1.4 million original combinations
within 1 minute, achieving smart cooling. Operation autonomy maximizes the
value of resources.
Reliable: Proactive security and secure architecture ensure high quality and
sustainable development of data centers. Proactive security means using big
data and AI technologies to implement predictive maintenance from components to
data centers, based on the visibility and perception of all domains in the data
centers. Automatic fault response means it will take only 1 minute to spot a
fault, 3 minutes to analyze, and 5 minutes to recover. Secure architecture
means security will be ensured at various levels, such as components, devices,
and systems. At the system level, the E2E visualizable, manageable, and
controllable platform enables the system availability to reach 99.999%.
PowerPOD 3.0: A footprint-saving, time-saving, and energy-saving power supply
system
At the event, Fei Zhenfu, CTO of Huawei Data Center Facility Team, released a
new generation of the power supply system, known as PowerPOD 3.0. The system
reduces the footprint by 40%, cuts the energy consumption by 70%, shortens the
delivery period from 2 months to 2 weeks, and lowers the SLA fault rate by 38%.
In the pursuit of the next-generation data centers, technological innovation
will be a key force in ensuring sustainable development. Looking towards the
future, Huawei will keep making breakthroughs in products and technologies
through continuous investment in R&D and with extensive cooperation with
customers, ecosystem partners, and industry organizations. We can jointly usher
in a new era of data center development.
