[0021] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0022] This application provides a data center visualization management method based on digital twin technology, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes steps S101 to S104.

[0023] Step S101: Identify each view of the layout design drawing of the target computer room to obtain the main view.

[0024] Specifically, the layout design drawing of the target data center can be imported through a preset interface. When the application detects the imported layout design file, it can first perform a format validation. If the format validation fails, the layout design file's format is converted to a preset format. For example, when importing a layout design file for a specific data center, if the file's format is detected and a preset format (such as dwg) is provided, a corresponding format conversion interface is offered. Upon detecting the user's confirmation of the format conversion on this interface, the layout design file for that data center is converted to the preset format before being displayed.

[0025] Specifically, layout design Figure 1 It typically includes several views, and the content of these views generally includes tables, text, and graphics. Among them, the table content or text is generally used to determine the main view.

[0026] Step S102: Identify the device graphics included in the main view to obtain the device layout information of the main view. The device layout information includes the installation location and orientation of each IT infrastructure.

[0027] Specifically, the device graphic in the main view can be matched against a preset model library to determine device layout information. In application, the installation direction of the device can be determined by checking whether the device graphic includes a predefined graphic identifier.

[0028] Step S103: Based on the equipment list information of the target computer room and the relevant equipment layout information, search in the preset equipment model library, and generate the corresponding visualized computer room based on the found equipment model.

[0029] Specifically, equipment category information can be obtained from the preset equipment management information database by identifying the target computer room, or it can be determined through the equipment list description in the main view.

[0030] Specifically, the corresponding IT infrastructure can be selected from the equipment model library according to the equipment layout information and placed in the data center model to simulate the target data center.

[0031] Step S104: Obtain the equipment data of the target computer room and associate the equipment data with the visualized computer room to obtain the visualized computer room monitoring interface.

[0032] Specifically, data on equipment in the data center can be obtained to acquire real-time data on various IT infrastructures within the data center. This data can then be linked to a visualized data center interface to view the communication status of each IT infrastructure.

[0033] This application embodiment identifies the main view by recognizing each view of the layout design diagram of the target computer room, thereby identifying the equipment-related information included in the main view, and deploying equipment in the target computer room according to a preset model library, thereby achieving the effect of visualizing the target computer room and its equipment, and then obtaining the equipment data of the target computer room and associating the equipment data with the visualized computer room to obtain the visualized computer room monitoring interface, so as to achieve the purpose of allowing users to view and maintain the computer room and its internal equipment through visualization.

[0034] In some embodiments, step S101 further includes:

[0035] Step S1011 (not shown in the figure): Extract content from each view and determine the main view based on the extracted content.

[0036] Specifically, this is determined by examining the content of each view, such as whether the text content includes the description of "computer room".

[0037] In some embodiments, step S1011 further includes:

[0038] Perform a frame scan on the layout design drawing;

[0039] When the first frame of any view is scanned, determine the view content of the area corresponding to the second frame of that view;

[0040] If the view content of the area corresponding to the second frame of any view does not include the description information of the main view, then the adjacent views of any view are scanned based on the first frame of any view, and the step of determining the view content of the area corresponding to the second frame of any view is performed until the view content of the scanned adjacent views includes the description information of the main view.

[0041] Specifically, the various views in the layout design drawing Figure 1Generally, the content area is defined by a first frame and a second frame; that is, the view content is located within the content of the first and second frames. In application, during the scanning of the layout design drawing, when the first frame of a certain view is scanned, the scanning range can be narrowed down to obtain the second frame. The view area is then located using the second frame, and content extraction is performed within that area. If the extracted view content includes a description of the server room, scanning stops; otherwise, the first frame is used as a reference, and the scanning moves outward to obtain the first frame of another view. The view content of the second frame of that other view is then calculated until its view content includes a description of the server room, at which point scanning stops and this is designated as the main view. By traversing each view in this way, the main view is determined, thereby completing the identification of the equipment deployed in the server room.

[0042] In some embodiments, step S101 further includes:

[0043] Based on the preset equipment installation direction identifiers, the installation direction of each IT infrastructure included in the main view is determined;

[0044] Based on a variety of preset device graphic shapes, the main view includes the types of various IT infrastructures.

[0045] Specifically, the installation direction of equipment is generally indicated by several adjacent lines on the equipment graphic. For example... Figure 2 The three adjacent lines 103 at the bottom of the device graphic shown are used to represent the front of the device, thus indicating the installation orientation of the device during visualization and ensuring that the visualized device matches the actual installation.

[0046] In some embodiments, step S103 further includes:

[0047] Search the equipment model library based on the equipment list information of the target computer room;

[0048] The found device models are deployed in the visualized data center according to the installation location and orientation of each IT infrastructure, thus obtaining the visualized data center.

[0049] In this embodiment of the application, the equipment list information is used to characterize the equipment models, names, and other information installed in the computer room, so as to perform matching queries in the equipment module library using this information, find the corresponding equipment models, and display them visually.

[0050] Specifically, the visualized data center can be determined based on the architectural drawings of the building where the target data center is located. In application, architectural design drawings of different buildings in different regions and their corresponding visualized rooms can be pre-deployed. Thus, when determining the location information of the data center (e.g., Room 201, 1st Floor, XX Building, XX City), the corresponding visualized room can be directly retrieved, and the corresponding equipment models can be deployed in that visualized room, thereby obtaining the visualized data center for the user to view.

[0051] In some embodiments, step S103 further includes:

[0052] If any IT infrastructure in the target data center is a cabinet, then the cabinet equipment list information is determined based on the equipment list information of the target data center.

[0053] Based on the equipment list information in the rack, the system searches the equipment model library and deploys the equipment in the rack according to the found equipment models.

[0054] Specifically, the equipment list information and the rack equipment list information are queried through the business database, and can also be adjusted through the content provided in the main view.

[0055] In some embodiments, the method further includes:

[0056] When at least one change is detected in the architectural design or layout design drawings of the target data center, a visualized data center is successfully generated based on the change results.

[0057] When changes occur in the data center architecture, such as the addition of ventilation or communication lines, the corresponding visualized data center needs to be adjusted to maintain consistency with the actual data center. A corresponding data center model is generated based on the adjusted architectural design for updating. If facilities installed within the data center, such as server racks or other equipment, are replaced, or if server racks have added communication connection interfaces, the layout design needs to be adjusted accordingly. This requires adjusting the equipment models deployed in the corresponding visualized data center, following the methods described above.

[0058] Another embodiment of this application provides a data center visualization management device based on digital twin technology, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the device 30 includes: a main view determination module 301 for the computer room, a device layout information determination module 302, a visual computer room generation module 303, and a computer room monitoring interface generation module 304.

[0060] The device layout information determination module 302 is used to identify the device graphics included in the main view and obtain the device layout information of the main view. The device layout information includes the installation location and orientation of each IT infrastructure.

[0061] The visual data center generation module 303 is used to generate a corresponding visual data center based on equipment layout information and a preset equipment model library.

[0062] The data center monitoring interface generation module 304 is used to obtain the equipment data of the target data center and associate the equipment data with the visualized data center to obtain the visualized data center monitoring interface.

[0063] This application embodiment identifies the main view by recognizing each view of the layout design diagram of the target computer room, thereby identifying the equipment-related information included in the main view, and deploying equipment in the target computer room according to a preset model library, thereby achieving the effect of visualizing the target computer room and its equipment, and then obtaining the equipment data of the target computer room and associating the equipment data with the visualized computer room to obtain the visualized computer room monitoring interface, so as to achieve the purpose of allowing users to view and maintain the computer room and its internal equipment through visualization.
