DATA CENTRE PREDICTIONS

POWERING THE CLOUD DATA CENTRE

At the heart of a data centre is its power supply . The importance of this function cannot be underestimated as it helps to ensure the facility – and its associated work – runs smoothly and efficiently . Here , Huawei ’ s regional team outline three trends currently impacting the power supply and distribution systems of data centres in the cloud era .

As the power heart of a data

centre , the power supply and distribution system is critical . With the development of data centres , especially given the increase in the scale of data centre servers and power density in the cloud era , new requirements are posted on the power supply and distribution system . The system has shown new trends such as better design and intelligent management . The power supply and distribution system of the data centre in the cloud era has the following three trends :
Trend 1 : Integrated design for power supply and distribution system and full link monitoring
The power density of a large data centre is high . As a result , the power supply and distribution capacity tends to be larger . A 3000 m 2 data centre requires www . intelligentdatacentres . com
