Due to the high energy consumption and high operating costs of traditional data centers, some places in China have begun to restrict the construction of traditional data centers, but because the construction and development of data centers is essential, then "modular data centers" are slowly becoming the trend of data center construction.
According to the latest report analysis shows that in recent years, China's modular data center market size reached 3.331 billion yuan, an increase of 8.2%, higher than the growth rate of the data center market, modular has become a recognized trend in the data center industry. In the construction of modular data center, the more famous era Bochuan, also invested a lot of research and development technology in the intelligent technology of modular data center, the following to learn more about the era Bochuan modular data center!
Times Bochuan modular data center has the characteristics of high efficiency, flexible expansion and low TCO, using factory prefabricated components, integrated power supply and distribution system, refrigeration system, IT cabinet, battery cabinet, wiring system, fire system, management system. Closed channels are used to optimize air flow and improve cooling efficiency and energy efficiency. The modular data center has low requirements on the installation environment. When star-rated air conditioners are used, there is no need to raise the floor, the minimum height between floors can be deployed, and the minimum floor bearing capacity is 350kg/m2. It can be deployed in common buildings, and the onsite installation time is short, which minimizes the construction period.
Rapid deployment, energy efficiency, and modular data centers have significant advantages
China's modular data center market is in a good time. According to the latest survey and research, the release of a number of domestic policies shows that the government attaches importance to the energy efficiency indicators in the construction of data centers and the application of new technologies. Traditional data centers with high energy consumption, high operating costs and long construction cycle have gradually shown a stagnant state of development, and many provinces and cities have begun to prohibit or restrict the construction of traditional data centers. At the same time, the outstanding performance of modular data centers in energy saving, and the significant advantages in construction and planning of land use comply with the government's policy orientation, and the full implementation of modular data centers in the industry is imperative.
The modular data center has greatly improved the deployment mode and energy consumption compared with the traditional data center. In terms of deployment, the traditional data center is invested once and built once, and the average construction period of the machine room is as long as 600 days; The modular data center supports phased flexible deployment, factory prefabrication, construction and production synchronization, and the construction can be completed in 1 to 3 months, which is more than 50% shorter than the traditional data center.
In terms of energy consumption, the traditional data center is limited to the under-floor air supply mode, which is difficult to meet the increasingly developed high-density scenarios of 10kW, 20kW, or even 30kW in a single cabinet. Even if devices such as automatic air valves can be added, local hot spots will still be generated. In addition, the traditional data center has serious mixing of cold and hot air, uneven temperature gradient, and generally low energy consumption efficiency. The average is about 2.0, and the waste of energy is serious.
In contrast, modular data centers use closed channel construction to effectively isolate hot and cold channels and avoid ineffective heat exchange. The efficient mode of row-level cooling is point-to-point accurate cooling, which on the one hand effectively ensures the support of the cooling capacity of high-density data centers, and on the other hand, can directly disperse the cold to the server cabinet, effectively improving energy efficiency. Reduce the PUE to less than 1.5, and improve energy efficiency by more than 40% on average compared to traditional data centers.
Ultra-low PUE, simplified operation and maintenance, smart data center growth force
At the same time, with the improvement of the country's attention to environmental protection, how to further innovate technology, reduce energy consumption, improve management level while reducing operating costs, has become an important issue facing the data center industry, times Bochuan also invested a lot of research and development strength to develop intelligent technology, so that the data center to simple, energy-saving, reliable dimension of development. In order to meet the future data center to centralized, large-scale, complex direction of development requirements. Intelligent technology will become the core competitiveness of future data center construction.
