Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of control technology, and in particular to a modular data center control system. Background Art

[0002] Traditional data center control systems are often monolithic in design, which is not easy to quickly adjust and expand according to demand. When a data center needs to add new functions or upgrade equipment, this monolithic design often leads to high transformation costs and complicated operation processes. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to some extent.

[0004] To this end, the first objective of the present application is to propose a modular data center control system.

[0005] The second objective of the present application is to provide an electronic device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first embodiment of the present application proposes a modular data center control system, including:

[0007] Box body: Made of metal material, with good heat dissipation performance and electromagnetic shielding effect;

[0008] Control module: As the core processing unit, it uses high-performance processors and large-capacity storage devices. It can process various data in the data center in real time and send control instructions according to business needs. The design of the control module greatly improves the data processing capability and system response speed;

[0009] Communication module: supports multiple communication protocols and is responsible for communicating with other data center devices. Through standardized communication interfaces, it achieves seamless connection with different types of devices, ensuring the stability and reliability of data transmission;

[0010] Power module: Redundant design is adopted to ensure that the control box can still work normally when any power supply fails. This design improves the reliability of the system and reduces the risk of system downtime caused by power failure.

[0011] Optionally, each module in the system has independent functions and standardized interfaces. When users need to expand functions, they only need to add corresponding functional modules and connect them with other modules through standard interfaces.

[0012] Optionally, the modules in the system communicate with each other through a clear interface, which reduces the coupling between the modules. Each module can be upgraded or replaced independently without affecting the normal operation of other modules.

[0013] Optionally, when a module in the system fails, the failed module can be quickly located and replaced without the need for large-scale troubleshooting and repair of the entire system.

[0014] Optionally, the system allows users to flexibly configure and reconfigure functional modules according to business needs. Users can adjust the combination and configuration of functional modules according to actual needs to meet changing market needs and business scenarios. This flexibility enables the data center to quickly respond to market changes and adjustments to business needs.

[0015] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, a second aspect of the present application provides an electronic device, including: a processor, and a memory communicatively connected to the processor;

[0016] The memory stores computer-executable instructions;

[0017] The processor executes the computer-executable instructions stored in the memory to implement the system as described in any one of the first aspects.

[0018] The modular data center control system provided in this application decomposes the data center control box into multiple independent and functionally clear modules through a modular design concept, such as a control module, a communication module, a power module, etc. This design not only improves the scalability and flexibility of the system, but also reduces the coupling between the modules, making it easier to maintain and upgrade.

[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of the present application will be given in part in the description below, and in part will become apparent from the description below, or will be learned through the practice of the present application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present application will become apparent and easily understood from the following description of the embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0021] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a modular data center control system provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0023] With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence technologies, data centers have become an important infrastructure to support these advanced technologies. Data centers not only need to provide a stable and reliable operating environment, but also need to have efficient and flexible management capabilities to adapt to changing technical and business needs. Traditional data center control systems often adopt a centralized, integrated design approach. This design may meet basic needs in the early stages, but with the development of business and the update of technology, its limitations become increasingly apparent. Especially when system upgrades or expansions are required, the transformation cost of traditional control systems is high, the cycle is long, and the risk is relatively high.

[0024] To solve this problem, the industry began to explore modular data center solutions. Modular design allows complex systems to be decomposed into several independent functional modules, which can be independently designed, produced, tested and upgraded, greatly improving the flexibility and scalability of the system. In addition, modular design also helps to reduce production costs and improve production efficiency, because various modules can be developed in parallel and are easier to standardize and mass produce.

[0025] A distributed data center control system is provided in the related art, which includes multiple control nodes and a central management unit. Each control node is responsible for managing and monitoring a portion of data center equipment, such as servers, storage devices, network devices, etc. The central management unit is responsible for collecting data from each control node and performing global management and scheduling. This distributed control system does improve the reliability and scalability of the data center, but it still has certain limitations.

[0026] Specifically, existing distributed data center control systems usually include the following components:

[0027] Control Node: Each control node is an independent computing unit with data processing and communication capabilities. They connect to data center equipment through standard interfaces, collect equipment operating status data, and remotely control equipment according to the instructions of the central management unit.

[0028] Central Management Unit: The central management unit is the core of the entire control system. It is responsible for receiving data sent by each control node, analyzing and processing the data, and sending control instructions based on the operating status of the data center. The central management unit also has a user interface that allows administrators to remotely monitor and manage the data center.

[0029] Communication network: The communication network connecting each control node and the central management unit is an important part of the whole system. It ensures the real-time transmission of data and the accurate delivery of instructions.

[0030] However, this prior art solution still needs to be improved in terms of modular design. For example, the coupling between the control node and the central management unit is high, which makes it difficult to quickly replace or upgrade a single module. In addition, the scalability of the system is also limited to a certain extent, because adding a new control node may require modifying the software configuration of the central management unit.

[0031] Disadvantages and problems of existing technology:

[0032] Limited scalability: Although existing data center control systems have adopted a certain modular design, they still face many limitations in actual expansion. New functional modules or devices often require complex configuration and integration, which increases the difficulty and cost of expansion.

[0033] High coupling: The degree of coupling between modules in the control system is high, which means that when replacing or upgrading a module, major adjustments to the entire system may be required, and may even affect the normal operation of other modules.

[0034] High maintenance cost: Due to the complexity of system design, once a fault occurs, troubleshooting and repair work may involve the coordination of multiple modules, which not only increases the difficulty of maintenance, but also increases the maintenance cost.

[0035] Lack of flexibility: Existing systems are difficult to quickly adapt to changes in data center business needs. When system functions or configurations need to be adjusted, a lot of software development and customization work is often required.

[0036] Causes: These shortcomings and problems are mainly due to the design concepts and technical limitations of traditional data center control systems. Traditional systems often adopt a centralized, integrated design approach, resulting in strong dependencies and high coupling between modules. At the same time, due to the lack of unified standards and specifications, there are also problems with compatibility and interoperability between different modules.

[0037] The present invention is proposed under such a technical background, and aims to further improve the flexibility and scalability of the data center control system, reduce maintenance costs and improve operational efficiency through a more thorough modular design.

[0038] To address this problem, the present application provides a modular data center control system. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a modular data center control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes:

[0039] Box body 10: Made of metal material, with good heat dissipation performance and electromagnetic shielding effect;

[0040] Control module 20: As the core processing unit, it uses a high-performance processor and a large-capacity storage device. It can process various data in the data center in real time and send control instructions according to business needs. The design of the control module greatly improves the data processing capability and system response speed;

[0041] Communication module 30: supports multiple communication protocols and is responsible for communicating with other data center devices. Through standardized communication interfaces, it achieves seamless connection with different types of devices and ensures the stability and reliability of data transmission;

[0042] Power module 40: Redundant design is adopted to ensure that the control box can still work normally when any power supply fails. This design improves the reliability of the system and reduces the risk of system downtime caused by power failure.

[0043] In view of the shortcomings and problems of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a more modular, flexible and easily expandable data center control box. By adopting advanced modular design concepts and technical means, the present invention aims to solve the problems of traditional data center control systems in terms of scalability, coupling, maintenance cost and flexibility.

[0055] Technical effect: Through modular design, the present invention greatly improves the scalability of the system, and users can easily expand functions according to needs without complicated configuration and integration, thereby saving time and cost.

[0056] Low coupling:
