With the continuous development of industries such as the Internet, there are more and more IT devices nowadays. If each device is not allocated a dedicated storage location, it will lead to a serious shortage of space. Therefore, most integrated intelligent cabinets are now used to install various devices in one cabinet and protect them through the subsystems of the intelligent cabinet. Today, the editor will introduce in detail the "characteristics and advantages of integrated intelligent cabinets".
I. Characteristics of Integrated Intelligent Cabinets
1. Plug-and-play, reducing the construction period;
2. Significantly lowering the construction cost;
3. Providing real-time remote operation and control means;
4. Sealed and dustproof: The entire cabinet is fully sealed, effectively isolating external dust and providing a high-quality operating environment for equipment;
5. Modular design: Rack-mounted designs for monitoring modules, refrigeration modules, power distribution modules, UPS modules, etc., enabling easy installation and flexible configuration;
6. Flexible expansion: Supporting cascading expansion of 1 to 16 cabinets, with air conditioners configured according to load capacity to meet the needs of more application scenarios;
7. Rapid deployment: All components are prefabricated in the factory, and only simple wiring is required on-site, with a deployment cycle of no more than 1 day; Emergency-ready: Unique circular air duct design, using the indoor fan of the air conditioner connected to the UPS power supply to drive circulation, realizing precise air supply layer by layer under normal conditions; In case of abnormalities, when the accumulated heat exceeds 35℃, the air vents automatically open to introduce external fresh air for heat exchange;
8. Intelligent management and unattended operation: Equipped with a standard intelligent management system that real-time monitors temperature, humidity, smoke, door magnetic status, and the operating status of intelligent equipment, and can notify administrators through multiple channels such as interactive voice, WeChat, or network emails.
II. Advantages of Integrated Intelligent Cabinets
1. Simpler
The deeply integrated and factory pre-verified integrated products are more standardized, safe and reliable compared with on-site construction; The fully sealed design prevents external air dust and corrosive gases from harming IT equipment; The power and environment monitoring system comprehensively monitors infrastructure and promptly alarms for abnormal conditions, ensuring safety.
2. Time-saving
The productized design enables the IC series cabinet-type smart data center to complete installation and delivery within one day on-site, which is more than twice as fast as the traditional construction mode.
3. Lower Cost
With a minimum footprint of only 0.7m², the closed design has strong environmental adaptability and does not require supporting projects such as decoration and flooring, effectively reducing CAPEX; The fully enclosed refrigeration improves the overall energy efficiency and reduces OPEX, significantly lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO).
4. Better Management
One-stop after-sales service can promptly handle various equipment failures, saving time and effort; The standard-equipped power and environment monitoring system supports local and remote monitoring and management, and can connect multiple network points to the upper management platform for unified supervision, providing diversified options.
5. Integration
The integrated cabinet integrates multiple systems including UPS power supply, power distribution, refrigeration, access control, cabinet, lighting, fire protection, power and environment monitoring, and emergency ventilation. It realizes overall management of all subsystems through the monitoring system, creating an integrated product and simplifying the design, procurement, and construction processes.
6. High Availability
A reliable UPS power distribution system continuously safeguards IT equipment, and a higher reliability system architecture (UPS redundant backup) can be customized to meet the needs of different users. Equipped with a cabinet-type air conditioner to ensure IT equipment operates in a stable and reasonable temperature and humidity environment; the air conditioner adopts an integrated design without the need for installing an outdoor unit, and condensed water evaporates automatically inside the cabinet with an emergency drainage function to ensure system safety and reliability. Long-life compressors and EC fans guarantee stable system operation for a long time. The fully sealed design with internal and external circulation systems can be applied in various harsh indoor environments without the need to build a separate equipment room. The emergency ventilation system: when the air conditioner fails to operate, the emergency air supply module at the front top of the cabinet blows air downward, and the emergency air exhaust module at the rear top of the cabinet exhausts hot air outward; the power and environment monitoring system real-time monitors the operating status of each device, promptly detects abnormalities, eliminates hidden dangers, assists in locating fault points, and shortens event handling time.
7. Energy-efficient and Environmentally Friendly
Saving equipment room space: The integrated design saves more than 40% of the floor space compared with traditional equipment rooms; Saving supporting investment: The fully sealed design can be installed in various environments (equipment rooms, storage rooms, corridors, etc.) without special investment in equipment room construction and supporting facilities; Saving construction time: The integrated design requires only 1 day of on-site installation, which greatly shortens the construction period for large-scale deployment; Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly: The high-frequency UPS power supply achieves an overall efficiency of 93%; The fully sealed cabinet with hot and cold aisle design saves more than 30% energy in refrigeration compared with traditional equipment rooms, and the overall PUE value can be below 1.5.
8. Simplified Operation and Maintenance
The power and environment monitoring system monitors the comprehensive product operation status, provides alarms and various reports, supports unattended operation, realizes remote operation and maintenance management through the network, and can be integrated into the upper operation and maintenance center system for centralized management. The cabinet-type structure is equipped with transport casters, making the data center movable and relocatable, extremely convenient. All designs adopt modularization, with one-stop after-sales service for quick problem-solving.
9. Flexible Expansion
Flexible expandability: By increasing the number of cabinets, air conditioning modules, and UPS modules, flexible redundant expansion is realized, providing more space for IT equipment.
