Data center migration,How to choose the construction site

Data center migration and project location are the starting points of project master plan layout. The location of the data center is determined by the company's development strategy, and the location decision should be made according to the TCO, and the short-term and long-term goals.

The location of data center is a geomantic omen. It pays attention to the harmonious co-existence of man and nature. Data center is not only a building inside the wall, but also a self integrated one. In order to avoid the natural geographical conditions, the natural geographical conditions should be taken into consideration, and it is necessary to take into account the local natural and geographical conditions, far from the frequent geological disasters, especially the seismic belts and debris flows, to avoid the typhoon invasion and flood, and to choose the land with relatively high altitude and flat terrain in the same area, and then through the geological exploration to understand the geological strip. A.
The data centers in the early years are generated around the network, where there are traffic, network resources, near the server, and the north is a typical business driven location.
Another kind is the Guangzhou Hangzhou Tianjin, they are around the huge city circle side of the sub center position, such as Hangzhou and Shanghai relations, more balance the business needs and resources. The above two categories are typical market drivers, and they are the most seller's market data centers.
The distance between the data center and the customer is also very critical. Some bank customers have a high demand for the network delay, so the distance of the data center has a great relationship with the customer's psychological expectation. We always want valuables - data near ourselves, and can see them easily, whether it's the data itself or the server cabinet that carries the data.
Now the size of the data center is getting bigger and bigger. We want to keep the scalability or sustainability of the data center, so electricity and water are very critical. The location of the data center is often restricted by the energy use index. Now the energy use index of Hangzhou is very tense. The Fuchun cloud is interconnected after solving the relevant indicators. The network data center has been able to settle in Fuyang.
Besides, we need to compare various power costs. That is to say, the cost of power sources per kilowatt hour is low enough to have alternative energy, such as renewable energy such as solar energy and wind energy, which will help enterprises to create a more green corporate image.
Ideally, the location of the project supports the development of big data industry, and the local government is responsible for solving the energy consumption index. To fully communicate before determining the land block, and to fully communicate with the local power bureau and the Water Service Company, whether the supply capacity is satisfied, and if the new facilities are built, the related path planning and policy handling should be considered. At the same time, we need to communicate with telecom operators (more than one) to make full use of network resources to ensure adequate and secure routing.
Local policy support is also very important. Land purchase preferences, supporting facilities, tax rebate and talent policy are all important factors for the location of enterprises.
Transportation convenience is also an important factor affecting the location of the data center, the construction and delivery of data center depends on whether the dependent suppliers can easily reach the location of the data center.
The choice of address for a data center naturally needs to be analyzed according to the specific circumstances of each enterprise.
General site selection steps:
1, scope of work and requirements: site selection requires wide consideration of stakeholder's opinions and requirements for location.
2, the first place for alternative locations is to examine and approve the alternative addresses according to the needs of all parties.
3, field investigation: invite the relevant expert team to visit the scene, talk with the government department of the location of the site, all kinds of service providers, and make a detailed summary of the meeting.
4. Further analysis of the list of alternative addresses: after a thorough investigation and analysis, a weighted scoring method is used to analyze the various factors in the first four ranking addresses.
5, further detailed investigation and analysis: discuss with the stakeholders in detail, view the actual data, research reports, and so on, fully consider all the factors mentioned in the previous article;
6, propose the alternative location for the final approval: release detailed investigation report, further analyze the relevant data, make further site selection, so as to obtain the final approval of the enterprise leadership.
