Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center technology, specifically to an integrated structure for a modular containerized micro-module data center. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, and edge computing, traditional data centers are facing increasingly prominent problems such as long deployment cycles, poor scalability, and high energy consumption. To meet the needs of rapid deployment, flexible expansion, and efficient operation, modular containerized micro-module data centers have emerged and are widely used in scenarios such as communication base stations, emergency command, remote offices, and industrial sites.

[0003] While some existing containerized data centers have achieved a certain level of integration, they still have many shortcomings: such as imperfect power system redundancy design, which can easily lead to power outages; unreasonable cooling system layout, resulting in low cooling efficiency and high energy consumption; limited monitoring methods, lacking intelligent operation and maintenance and remote management capabilities; and limited security protection measures, lacking effective alarm mechanisms and emergency ventilation and smoke extraction functions, which affect the stability of equipment operation and the safety of personnel.

[0004] For example, some products do not properly partition and arrange IT cabinets and air conditioning systems, resulting in severe mixing of hot and cold air and affecting heat dissipation; power distribution cabinets mostly use a single power supply path and lack an N+1 redundancy architecture, which cannot guarantee the continuous operation of critical loads; monitoring systems mostly rely on wired connections, which are complex to deploy and have poor scalability, making it difficult to achieve intelligent management.

[0035] The container shell 1 has an escape door at its front end;

[0036] The power distribution cabinet 8 is located inside the container shell 1. The power distribution cabinet 8 is equipped with an AC power input interface, a battery, a UPS uninterruptible power supply and a power distributor.

[0037] The refrigeration system, located inside the container shell 1, includes a cold aisle 6 and a high-efficiency air conditioner;

[0038] The rack system is located inside the container shell 1 and is equipped with multiple IT racks 4, each of which is equipped with servers and network equipment.

[0039] The monitoring system includes a monitoring management platform and several sensors.

[0040] Overall architecture collaboration principle

[0041] This modular containerized micro-module data center integrated structure constructs a relatively independent and enclosed physical space through the container shell 1, integrating the power distribution cabinet 8, cooling system, server rack system, and monitoring system within. These systems collaborate to ensure the stable operation of the data center. The power distribution cabinet 8 provides stable power to other systems, the cooling system maintains a suitable temperature environment, the server rack system houses core equipment, and the monitoring system monitors and provides real-time status information, achieving efficient overall operation.

[0042] Working principles of each system

[0043] Distribution Cabinet 8 System: Mains power is connected to Distribution Cabinet 8 via the mains input interface. Under normal circumstances, after being stabilized by the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), the mains power supplies the distribution cabinet. The distribution cabinet adopts an N+1 redundancy architecture, distributing power to various electrical devices, such as servers and network equipment in IT Cabinet 4, and high-efficiency air conditioners in the cooling system. When the mains power fails, the UPS automatically switches to battery power mode to continuously power the equipment, ensuring the normal operation of the data center and preventing data loss and equipment damage due to power outages.

[0044] Cooling System: The outdoor unit 7 of the high-efficiency air conditioner is responsible for heat exchange and exhaust, while the indoor unit 5 is installed in the equipment room 2, blowing cold air into the cold aisle 6. Two rows of IT cabinets 4 are arranged symmetrically, with the cold aisle 6 in the middle, forming an airflow organization that separates hot and cold air. During operation, the servers and network equipment in the IT cabinets 4 generate heat. Hot air rises and enters the hot aisle, where it is drawn in and processed by the indoor unit 5. Cold air then enters the IT cabinets 4 through the cold aisle 6 to cool the equipment. This cycle continues, maintaining a suitable operating temperature for the equipment.

[0045] Rack System: Multiple IT racks provide installation space and physical support for servers and network equipment. Servers are responsible for data storage, computation, and processing, while network equipment enables data transmission and exchange. All devices are connected via internal cables to form a data interaction network, working collaboratively under stable power and temperature conditions to complete various business functions of the data center.

[0046] Monitoring System: Temperature and humidity sensors within Cold Aisle 6 monitor temperature and humidity data in real time, while smoke sensors detect potential fire hazards. These sensors transmit the collected data to the monitoring and management platform (computer terminal) via wireless communication. The intelligent operation and maintenance system analyzes and processes the data. If abnormal data is detected, the alarm system is activated, with audible and visual alarms alerting on-site personnel. Simultaneously, the SMS alarm system sends notifications to relevant personnel to ensure timely action and guarantee the safe and stable operation of the data center.

[0047] In this technical solution, the power distribution cabinet 8, IT cabinet 4, sensors, high-efficiency air conditioners, and computer terminals can all be related products with mature application technologies in the relevant fields.

[0048] The intelligent operation and maintenance system in this technical solution is a mature operation and maintenance system in the computer field. The intelligent operation and maintenance (AIOps) system combines big data, machine learning and automation technologies to enhance IT operation and maintenance capabilities, mainly focusing on the core links of data collection, processing and analysis, problem prediction and diagnosis, automated response and continuous learning and optimization.

[0049] Intelligent Operations and Maintenance Systems (AIOps) have demonstrated enormous potential in practical applications, significantly improving the efficiency and effectiveness of IT operations and maintenance through automation and intelligent methods. Below are several specific application examples of intelligent operations and maintenance systems:

[0050] For example, on a large e-commerce website, due to large traffic fluctuations, traditional monitoring systems generate a large number of alarm messages, making it difficult for the operations team to quickly locate the root cause of the problem. After adopting AIOps, the system can automatically filter and correlate relevant alarms, identify the root cause, and provide solution suggestions, greatly shortening the troubleshooting time.

[0051] For example, ensuring the high performance of a trading system is crucial for a financial services company. By deploying an AIOps platform, the company is able to monitor system performance metrics in real time and use machine learning algorithms to predict potential performance bottlenecks. Once a problem that could affect trading speed is detected, the system provides an early warning, allowing the team to take preventative measures.

[0052] For example, in the field of cybersecurity, an enterprise uses AIOps to analyze network logs and other data sources to identify anomalous behavioral patterns. This approach helps the enterprise detect suspicious activity before intrusion attempts occur, allowing for timely action to prevent data breaches or other security incidents.

[0053] The SMS alarm system in this technical solution adopts mature technology and is a communication mechanism that sends alarm information to designated users through SMS service. It is widely used in various scenarios that require real-time monitoring and emergency notification.

[0054] Working principle of the preferred technical solution

[0055] UPS and power distribution redundancy architecture: The UPS uninterruptible power supply is electrically connected to the mains input interface and the power distribution unit, which adopts an N+1 redundancy architecture. This means that during normal operation, multiple power distribution modules work together. When one module fails, the redundant modules automatically take over, ensuring the continuity and reliability of power distribution and improving the fault tolerance of the entire power distribution system.

[0056] Layout of Air Conditioning Room 3 and Equipment Room 2: Air Conditioning Room 3 is located at the rear of the container shell 1, and Equipment Room 2 is located at the front. The outdoor air conditioning unit 7 is installed in Air Conditioning Room 3 to utilize the space for centralized heat dissipation and reduce interference with Equipment Room 2; the indoor air conditioning unit 5 is installed in Equipment Room 2, close to the IT cabinet 4, to shorten the cold air delivery distance, improve cooling efficiency, and reduce energy consumption.

[0057] IT rack 4 and cold aisle 6 layout: IT racks 4 are arranged symmetrically in two rows within equipment room 2, with cold aisle 6 located in the middle. This layout optimizes airflow, allowing cold air to enter each IT rack 4 evenly, improving the uniformity of cooling, reducing the generation of localized hotspots, and ensuring that servers and network equipment operate in a stable temperature environment.

[0058] The indoor units 5 are spaced out on each row of IT cabinets 4, which can distribute the cooling capacity more evenly and avoid cooling dead zones. At the same time, the spaced arrangement also facilitates the maintenance and repair of the indoor units 5, improving the maintainability of the refrigeration system.

[0059] Wireless communication and intelligent functions of the monitoring system: The monitoring management platform and sensors are equipped with wireless communicators to achieve wireless data transmission, reducing wiring costs and complexity, and improving system flexibility and scalability. The intelligent operation and maintenance system on the computer terminal performs intelligent analysis of sensor data, can promptly detect potential problems, and issue early warnings through the alarm system, realizing intelligent operation and maintenance management.

[0060] The alarm system offers multiple alarm methods: it integrates audible and visual alarms with SMS alarms. The audible and visual alarms provide a direct warning signal to attract the attention of personnel on site; the SMS alarm system overcomes spatial limitations, promptly notifying relevant personnel and ensuring timely response to abnormal situations even when unattended or without on-site staff.

[0061] Electric ventilation skylight 9: The container shell 1 is equipped with an electric ventilation skylight 9, which can automatically open in case of refrigeration system failure or when additional ventilation is required. Through natural ventilation, it helps to reduce the temperature inside the equipment room 2, serving as a backup cooling method for the refrigeration system and improving the security and reliability of the data center.

[0062] The cooling system, sensors, configuration cabinet, and electric ventilation skylight 9 in this technical solution can all use wireless communicators to transmit and receive signals with the monitoring and management platform.

[0063] The electric ventilation skylight 9 in this technical solution can be a building electric skylight with mature application technology, such as the various types of electric skylights provided by VELUX, FAKRO and Keylite product series, including flat skylights and pitched roof windows.

[0064] Detailed Workflow

[0065] Data Center Startup: The mains input interface is turned on, and mains power is connected to power distribution cabinet 8. The UPS uninterruptible power supply starts and purifies and stabilizes the input power. The power distribution unit, with an N+1 redundancy architecture, distributes power to various electrical devices, including servers, network equipment, and high-efficiency air conditioners in IT cabinet 4. Servers and network equipment begin self-testing and initialization, entering normal operation.

[0066] Cooling system operation: The outdoor unit 7 of the high-efficiency air conditioner starts and begins heat exchange. The indoor unit 5 blows cold air into the cold aisle 6, which enters the cold aisle 6 between the two rows of IT cabinets 4 to cool the equipment inside the IT cabinets 4. Hot air is exhausted from the IT cabinets 4, rises into the hot aisle, and is drawn in by the indoor unit 5 for circulating cooling, maintaining a suitable temperature in the equipment room 2.

[0067] Equipment operation and data processing: The servers and network equipment in IT rack 4 operate in a stable power and temperature environment. The servers store, calculate and process data, while the network equipment is responsible for data transmission and exchange, completing various business functions of the data center.

[0068] The monitoring system monitors the equipment in real time using temperature, humidity, and smoke sensors within the cold aisle 6. This data is then transmitted wirelessly to the monitoring and management platform (computer terminal). The intelligent operation and maintenance system analyzes and processes the data to determine if the equipment is operating normally.

[0069] Abnormal Situation Handling: If the monitoring system detects abnormal data, such as excessively high temperature or smoke alarms, the intelligent operation and maintenance system will trigger the alarm system. Audible and visual alarms will sound to alert on-site personnel; the SMS alarm system will send SMS notifications to relevant personnel. Upon receiving the alarm, staff will handle the situation according to the actual circumstances, such as checking for malfunctions in the refrigeration system or investigating potential fire hazards.

[0070] Data Center Shutdown: When it is necessary to shut down the data center, first stop the operation of the servers and network equipment in IT rack 4, then turn off the power output of power distribution rack 8, and finally turn off the mains power input interface. During the shutdown process, the monitoring system continuously monitors the equipment status to ensure proper shutdown and prevent data loss and equipment damage.
