MONACO, April 27, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Huawei held the Global Data Center Facility Forum 2022, with the theme of

"Smart DC, Building the Future", on April 26 in Monaco to drive sustainability

in the data center industry. The conference convened more than 200 business

leaders, industry experts, clients, and partners from around the world to

establish valuable connections and discuss key issues facing the rapidly

changing industry, such as decarbonization and digitalization.

Charles Yang, Senior Vice President of Huawei and CEO of Huawei Data Center

Facility Team, said in his opening remarks that as we enter the intelligent era

and carbon neutrality has become the global shared mission, data centers will

see changes in the service form, energy supply, and operation and maintenance

models. Huawei Data Centre Facility Team will embrace the changes by optimizing

organizational structure, continuously investing in innovation, and building a

healthy business ecosystem to drive the sustainable development of the data

center industry.

Green data centers play a critical role in achieving net-zero goals. In pursuit

of green and low-carbon data centers, Huawei believes that data center

facilities need to go green throughout the life cycle. It means the facility

features a green construction with a prefabricated modular architecture, a

green cooling solution to lower PUE, a green power supply with ultra-high power

density, and AI-enabled green management.

When it comes to the role of green ICT playing in Europe's path to

decarbonization, He Bo, President of Huawei Digital Power Western Europe,

pointed out that low-carbon ICT infrastructure, such as data centers, will play

an important role to support for Europe to achieve the goal of "Carbon

Neutrality by 2050" in the future. By integrating digital and power electronics

technologies, Huawei provides innovative solutions such as fast delivery,

extreme PUE, and centralized energy storage to create low-carbon data centers

and contribute to a greener world.

In his keynote on Next-Generation DC, Sanjay Kumar Sainani, Global Senior Vice

President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Huawei Data Center Business

noted that we envision the next generation center to be converged, low carbon,

and smart. Four innovations - Bit innovation, Watt innovation, Heat innovation,

and Architecture innovation - will support future-oriented, sustainable data

centers.

Other industry experts also shared their insights into how to power the green

and digital transition of the data center industry at the event. Simon

McCormick, CTO of Echelon, introduced their digital transformation path towards

carbon neutrality.

Kim Gunnelius, COO and Co-founder at Ficolo, talked about operating data

centers with 100% green power and lower PUE, and enabling the industry to

reduce its carbon footprint through data centers.

Xavier Matagne, CTO of Africa Data Centres, highlighted that modular and

prefabricated construction excels at high quality, easy site management, low

risk, and green site operation compared with traditional solutions.

Prescott Augustus GAYLORD, Senior Vice President and Head of Sustainability at

DBS, shared practices in achieving decarbonization and digitalization from a

financial institution perspective.

Highlights at Datacloud Global Congress 2022

Huawei Digital Power showcased low-carbon, smart data center solutions and

joined conversations around the trends that will shape the data center industry

at Datacloud Global Congress 2022, the leading event in the data center and ICT

sectors that was held in Monaco from 25-27 April.

Huawei exhibited the low-carbon, smart data center solutions at the booth,

including the PowerPod+Smart Li power supply system for improved energy

efficiency, the indirect evaporative cooling solution for the minimized use of

potable water, and the smart modular DC for fast deployment and flexible

scalability.

Reducing the carbon footprint of power-consuming data centers holds the key to

mitigating climate change. Huawei has officially joined the IMasons Climate

Accord (ICA), a coalition designed to govern a methodology to measure and

reduce the carbon in infrastructure through products, power, and materials, to

highlight its commitment to a low carbon, smart society.

Moving forward, Huawei will cooperate closely with partners such as consulting,

design, engineering companies, and suppliers, to build an open and win-win

industrial ecosystem and promote the sustainable development of the data center

industry.
