How Huawei ’ s new FusionPower2.0 UPS addresses power density and heat dissipation
Organisations across the Middle East are increasingly looking to technology such as AI and IoT to optimise processes as they digitalise . This means the data centres that power these operations are expanding at an unprecedented rate . Guolingbing ( Jake Guo ), Data Centre Solution Manager , Huawei ME , tells us about how Huawei ’ s FusionPower2.0 is helping to address some of the primary network challenges facing businesses in the region .
As Middle East organisations increasingly turn to AI , Big Data , cloud and IoT to optimise processes , the data centres that power these operations are expanding at an unprecedented rate . Huawei has recently updated its own UPS power module lineup with the launch of the new FusionPower2.0 , a solution that addresses some of the primary network challenges facing businesses in the region .
To start , the FusionPower2.0 enables the power density of a single module to reach 100 kW / 3 U , which is twice the industry standard . Based on the 100 kW module , the UPS achieves the ‘ one megawatt , one cabinet ’ principle , with a footprint that is more than halved compared with the traditional end-to-end parallel solution .
The power supply and distribution system leave more space for data centre cabinets , enabling customers to increase revenue .
Yet cooling such high-density data centres is a constant challenge , aggravated by the extreme climatic conditions in the region . The Huawei 100 kW UPS power module design employs the U-shaped symmetric architecture , incorporating a wide range of heat dissipation and an optimal module layout .
The symmetric architecture features a combination of small air resistance and fast heat dissipation . In addition , extended ventilation channels have made it possible
