shanghai, sept. 21, 2024 /prnewswire/ -- on september 19, 2024, huawei digital energy held the data center infrastructure summit in shanghai during huawei connect 2024. more than 300 industry leaders and technical experts from around the world gathered together to discuss new trends and technologies in the development of the data center industry in the era of intelligent computing. they aim to accelerate industry intelligence, build a prosperous industry ecosystem, create a brilliant future for intelligent computing, and help the development of the digital era.

jin shuangwu, president of huawei data center energy and key power supply business, said in his opening speech that the era of intelligent computing is accelerating, placing higher demands on data centers. huawei data center energy creates secure, minimalist, green, and intelligent data center infrastructure solutions through three capabilities: highly reliable products, global ecosystem, and professional services.

jin shuangwu said that huawei digital energy looks forward to working with industry leaders and elites to redefine the safety and reliability of data centers with higher standards of safety and quality, promote the sustainable and healthy development of the industry, embrace new opportunities in the intelligent world, and promote the construction of a new digital world.

at the meeting, he bo, president of huawei's data center energy and critical power supply product line, delivered a keynote speech entitled "embrace the era of intelligent computing and keep the digital world running firmly."

he bo emphasized that as data centers move from general computing power to ai computing power, they face challenges such as security, high power, high energy consumption, and uncertainty. huawei has released ten construction principles for intelligent computing data center infrastructure based on the three principles of security and reliability, elastic evolution, and green and low-carbon, to create a highly reliable data center infrastructure in the intelligent computing era. the details are as follows:

security and reliability are the core competitiveness of data center infrastructure.

1. isolated energy storage:deploying the energy storage system outdoors can isolate it from it services and maximize the safety of data center operations. if deployed indoors, it must meet requirements such as fire resistance, water fire protection, and emergency ventilation.

2. distributed architecture:mechanical and electrical equipment is deployed in a distributed manner to minimize the fault domain. with one power supply per box and one cooling per box in the data center, a single fault does not spread and does not affect the business.

3. continuous refrigeration: to address the heating problem in high-density scenarios, data centers should have continuous cooling capabilities to avoid abnormal situations that may cause data center business interruptions.

4. high-quality products:product quality should be managed from all aspects including design, incoming materials, production, testing, network, and process to create high-quality products with e2e full-chain security.

5. professional services: from deployment to maintenance, change from passive to active. professional maintenance can eliminate risks in deployment, operation and maintenance, and is the key guarantee for the continuous safe and reliable operation of the system.

6. intelligent management: by introducing ai technology, data centers can prevent faults such as power outages, fires, and high temperatures. ai will become a standard basic configuration for intelligent operation and maintenance.

elastic evolution is the optimal architecture to match the uncertainty of the intelligent computing center.

7. subsystem decoupling: faced with the uncertain demands of the intelligent computing era, subsystem decoupling is a basic requirement for achieving elastic evolution of data centers.

8. resilient architecture: through measures such as computer room standardization, functional modularization, and module prefabrication, a flexible data center architecture is created to achieve smooth expansion and rapid delivery of the intelligent computing center.

green and low-carbon is the only option to reduce energy consumption.

9. high density and high efficiency:through high-density land saving and high-efficiency power saving, the problems of large electromechanical space and high system loss in the intelligent computing center can be solved.

10. wind and liquid fusion: through the design principles of air-liquid fusion and adjustable ratio, the total cooling capacity configuration can be reduced, delivery can be simplified, and the energy saving of the system can be improved.

huawei will work with customers and partners to actively embrace new changes in intelligent computing and continue to innovate. with secure, reliable, elastic, evolvable, green and low-carbon data center infrastructure solutions, we will lead the industry to accelerate digitalization, unleash unlimited potential, and keep the digital world running firmly.
