The vast project of data center migration

Data center migration is a huge project with great cost. We usually say this about the data center, data center, in fact, no matter what, the construction of the data center to go through a long process, some a few years or even decades, after such a long time to be put into operation. We often talk about all kinds of rapid deployment of data center technology, which is the data center big frame have been playing, just connect all kinds of IT equipment, the process of debugging normal working, then more is the software level adjustment, before a part, and this is just the construction of data center here, to do a lot of preparatory work for the construction of a data center, we have to talk about.

First of all, the data center migration need to build some equipment room environment, which of course need land and get permission from government departments to start construction. The data center location itself is a long process, the construction of the enterprise data center to inspect various parts of environment, transportation, personnel, hydrological and geological and natural disasters in advance, of course, there are various places for preferential policies, it is necessary to consider the important aspects of the. In some places in order to create jobs, in order to promote local economy, enhance the level of information of local, by providing cheap land use fees, municipal facilities costs, utilities costs and so on to attract people to the local data center construction, which can save the initial investment and operation cost for large enterprises. After a variety of visits, judgments, the final data center will be selected to build the location, and then started construction. If there is no local government and relevant departments, fully communicate that city planning, environmental protection, power supply, gas supply, water supply and other departments, is likely to come to naught, not construction.
Secondly, the data center migration construction with reference to the national standard, must be in accordance with the national standards, only after acceptance by the national data center are eligible to put into use, not free to change the architectural design. And ordinary buildings are different, the data center building to load-bearing capacity, construction can not be too high, each floor should be particularly strong, because it is covered with dense equipment. The data center's auxiliary facilities must be complete: overhead floor, hot and cold channel, storage battery, standby power supply, air conditioning pool, grounding system and so on. This is different from the ordinary building. Therefore, the data center architectural design should be experienced by a professional design team to do the design, once the beginning of the design is unreasonable, it will be difficult to modify the later stage. The design of data center should be forward-looking and meet the application requirements for the next ten years, and maintain a certain design redundancy for expansion.
Third, the data center requires uninterrupted operation throughout the year, so as long as two-way power input is needed, continuous power supply is ensured. At the same time, the design of the standby power supply can not be continued forever. Once the power failure occurs, the data center should have the ability to switch to the standby power and continue to operate temporarily. The general use of battery or standby power diesel power mode, continuous power supply time is not too long, or simply the rapid restoration of power supply capacity, demand for data center power is too large, also need to give guidance on the power supply department can meet the power supply of the city, the electricity sector will be evaluated according to the capacity of the data center, if not meet, the data center can be built in this city. There are network lines, the data center if you do not interact with the outside world, the data center is an information island, can not run. Before there are several data center operators for cable Waduan, resulting in business interruption events, visible network data centers on how the key line. The data center is generally used for line backup mode, connect to the network operator through multiple links, as long as not all the fault on the line, that will be all at the same time for cable Waduan, that only through the disaster recovery data center, through the business switching between data centers, to ensure that the business is not affected.
Fourth, the data center infrastructure, as with ordinary buildings, the data center also needs to have the road, gas, sewage, communications, lighting, landscaping, and data center should pay attention to the choice of building materials, must use the sound insulation materials. The data center in the tens of thousands of sets of equipment at the same time, the noise is very high, there may be a pollution to the surrounding environment, especially the need to work in the data center of the people, these people although not in the room, but also in the data center inside the office, they should always maintain the safe operation of the data center. In this way, the data center in each section to consider the problem of noise, the noise in the circle inside the room, not affect the operation and maintenance work, but can not make noise leaked to the outside, has the influence on the surrounding environment, the data center should pay attention to noise in each part of the design, to avoid the noise transmission outside the room.
