THE EDGE
of sensors required – representing only a minor hardware investment – it ’ s relatively easy to optimise energy efficiency over the long term , in turn slashing energy consumption .
AI-powered diagnosis of energy efficiency helps optimise operations , improving the Power Usage Effectiveness ( PUE ) of a data centre by 8 % to 15 %.
Ensuring zero service interruption with predictive O & M
With NetEco6000 , data centre O & M automation radically reduces the skillset that O & M staff need , as well as the manual workload and associated costs . And by transforming reactive maintenance into something that ’ s predictive and proactive , problems are prevented from happening before they occur , resulting in fewer costly hardware replacements . With such drastic improvements made to simplify O & M , labour costs are cut by 35 % and data centre reliability is improved to ensure zero service interruption .
Intelligent operations and efficient resource utilisation
Traditional operations management allocates significant manpower to inventorying assets , even though the results are often inaccurate .
This already inefficient process strains to breaking point , given the increasing data volumes of today . Scientific , accurate analysis is sorely needed .
NetEco6000 is equipped with U-position electronic labelling . When the location of an Information Technology ( IT ) device changes , the U-position sensor automatically detects the change and reports and updates asset information in real time , eliminating the need for manual stocktaking and making it far simpler to manage a large number of

assets . By analysing physical space , power , cooling and network capacity , available resources can be accurately located and pre-allocated , using intelligent operations to maximise resource allocation .
With Huawei ’ s NetEco6000 intelligent management system capable of managing multiple data centres on the same platform , flexible system expansion in the future is easy , with zero hardware restrictions in place . ◊
