FACILITIES energy efficiency + design
QAnd data centre facilities?
A Huawei can provide modular data centre (MDC) solutions and containerised data centre (CDC) solutions - both are integrated, modular and scalable designs. All the components like IT racks, UPS, in-row cooling unit, power distribution, monitoring, securities, protections and isolated cold/hot aisles are integrated in a flexible and reconfigurable way. All the components are designed with state of the art technologies and flexible solution architecture which gives the possibility to tailor the best fit solution for each case at the most effective cost. The cooling system as an integrated part of the Huawei data centre solution, provides more options for different application, in-row, in-room, air-cooled, and chilled water cooled.
QHow do the Huawei solutions discussed above help end users meet the technology challenges they face right now around
issues such as Cloud, virtualisation and convergence, for example?
A For example, Huawei data centre energy solutions enable the end users to build a reliable, efficient and scalable energy
infrastructure, this underpins the centralized or distributed IT infrastructure, and supports the IT business growth smoothly.
QPresumably as they come under the title of ‘network energy’ solutions, Huawei has focused on ensuring optimum energy
efficiency in the technology they offer their customers?
A Yes, technology leading and green energy is our long term strategy. We continually invest in energy efficiency improvement,
from module efficiency, to system efficiency, to site energy efficiency and as well as network energy efficiency, our 98% efficiency rectifier have made Huawei the leading player in telecom power. Huawei 97% efficiency UPS modules are also under development, which will set up a new benchmark for UPS efficiency in the industry The systems of the modular data centre and containerised data centre are also designed to meet the high PUE standard. Our network energy monitoring product NetEco will help customers manage and continually optimise the energy efficiency of their sites and networks.
QDoes Huawei offer any kind of counsulting services as well as a product/solution portfolio?
