What are the key technical points for IDC data room construction?

IDC engine room provides us with rich and reliable professional services and network resources. It is an important business service center. IDC technology, as an important technology in the modern information age, plays an important role in providing professional network services and network resources. Therefore, it is very necessary and important to build a safe, reliable, economical, practical and energy-saving IDC data room. Therefore, the construction of the IDC data room must follow certain principles. First of all, the construction of IDC should follow the principle of coordination between recent construction and long-term development planning to ensure the future development of IDC business; secondly, IDC construction should comply with the current national and industry standards and norms, and should also Meet the relevant standards and specifications of the project location.

(1) Basic requirements for IDC data room

In recent years, servers with increasingly higher processing capacity and larger and larger storage devices and network devices with superior performance have no need to consume more power, and the cost of using electricity has increased sharply. IDC equipment rooms generally have a variety of telecom equipments that need to be adapted, and these telecom equipments are stable in their temperature and humidity. The temperature range of the IDC equipment room is 20 ° C ~ 25 ° C, relative humidity range: 40% ~ 55%. The IDC data room is mainly composed of a host room, a support area, and an auxiliary area, depending on the function of the device and the degree of requirements on the environment of the equipment room. The mainframe is the core of the IDC data room. Its main function is to analyze, process, save, utilize and transmit information. When installing the equipment, it must be strictly in accordance with the standard to ensure the installation quality. In the general IDC machine room, this phenomenon is common. The main heat is from the operation of IT equipment. This sensible heat accounts for about 95% of the total heat. The humidity in the machine room is small, and the humidity is mainly caused by work. Personnel and infiltration of outdoor air brought.

(II) IDC data room energy-saving technology

Under the current situation of increasing energy consumption and the continuous expansion of IT equipment, energy conservation and consumption reduction work is under great pressure. The power consumption of IDC equipment room is mainly composed of two parts: IT equipment power consumption and air conditioning refrigeration system energy consumption. Among them, the maximum proportion of total energy consumption in the IDC room is about 48%. Therefore, the energy saving of the refrigeration system is very important, and there are two main types of air conditioning energy saving measures. The first is to shorten the length of air conditioning use: including reducing environmental requirements (such as increasing the supply air temperature) or using alternative refrigeration solutions (such as using natural cold source refrigeration). The second is to improve air conditioning efficiency: including more reasonable airflow organization and enhanced air conditioning maintenance management. By adopting the lower return system, the air conditioning cold air is directly sent into the cabinet to avoid the situation of re-cooling the equipment in the cold environment, which can significantly improve the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner; at present, many IDC data room adopts a redundant power supply system, and the system will It will cause certain energy consumption and waste. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably lay out the electrical equipment according to the power consumption of the equipment and the user's demand, and formulate the best layout plan, reduce the energy consumption of the equipment room, and take corresponding measures to improve the energy utilization efficiency; the heat in the IDC equipment room Equipment and cooling equipment are not one-to-one. Inappropriate room layout and cabinet cooling will affect the security of the equipment room, and at the same time reduce the cooling efficiency of the equipment room and increase the energy consumption of the entire equipment room. For this reason, an inter-column air conditioner can be added in the area where heat dissipation is serious to perform local cooling to improve the temperature field.

(1) IDC data room security protection construction

With the continuous development of Internet technology and communication technology, Internet data centers have emerged and been vigorously built. IDC data room, IDC data room as a professional place for information data processing, storage, utilization and network resource utilization, mainly through Internet technology and communication technology, IDC uses load balancer, combined with encrypted socket protocol layer ( SSL) Accelerates Internet devices managed with Layer 7 communications, and the load balancer controls Layer 7 applications/content to prioritize and differentiate services for all customers or URLs, including secure communications. In the initial stage of IDC equipment construction, the proportion of energy consumption in the power supply system may even be as high as 20%. In order to reduce the energy consumption of the power supply system, it is necessary to reasonably distinguish the electrical equipment in the IDC equipment room according to the level of the equipment and the customer, and formulate a corresponding power supply scheme. In addition, the scientific and precise design of the IDC data room components should be carried out to ensure the expansion of the equipment room, anti-electromagnetic interference, power supply system, air-conditioning system, etc. within the safety design standards, and ensure the safety protection of the equipment room from the equipment room equipment.

(2) Safety management of the equipment room

For the safety management of the IDC engine room, when designing the IDC engine room, it should be closely coordinated with each major, and plan and rationally design in the long-term and near-term. The design of the equipment room must provide a good operating monitoring environment for the equipment room. Strictly follow the relevant standards of the national IDC data room security construction, and continuously improve the comprehensive quality of the computer room management personnel, implement a regular inspection system, apply for registration and entry system for foreign personnel, and regularly maintain and manage the equipment room, the door of the equipment room and the access room. Camera surveillance is installed in the main aisles and other parts. Cameras can be monitored separately for important racks and cabinets. At the same time, strengthen network security management, regularly anti-virus and update the system to ensure the security and reliability of the computer room system.

PUE=[Data Center Total Power Consumption]/[IT Equipment Energy Consumption], Total Power Consumption = IT Equipment Energy Consumption + Refrigeration System Energy Consumption + Power System Energy Consumption + Lighting System Energy Consumption. At present, the PUE value of the traditional equipment room is between 2.4 and 2.8, and the ideal PUE of the traditional computer room should be 1.6. It can be seen that the energy utilization efficiency of most IDC equipment rooms is relatively low, and there is a big gap with the ideal state. Therefore, building a green smart IDC room (PUE1.6) will be the future direction.
