1. Data center visualization construction

(1) Data Center Visualization

Based on three-dimensional modeling technology, the layout of data center parks, buildings, floors, computer rooms and cabinet columns is displayed in three dimensions. The visual model of data center equipment is constructed by docking equipment acquisition system, video monitoring system, entrance guard system and BA system, and various data resources are integrated to realize intuitive display of data of various spaces, equipment and key measuring points, and finally to achieve real-time monitoring, early warning and alarm of various data of data center.

  (2)Asset Visualization

By constructing the digital word body of the data center, docking all kinds of asset data, real-time point data, can be intuitively found through the three-dimensional modeling of the visual platform to find the corresponding equipment configuration information and current status information, greatly saving labor costs and management time, to achieve the visual management of data center assets.

(3) Wiring visualization

By constructing the equipment port model and importing the wiring data of IT facilities, the integrated pipeline display of equipment, lines and ports can be completed through the data center visualization platform, and the search through the starting/starting equipment, port, line name, line location and other information can be supported to facilitate the management of lines.

(4) Visualization of machine room capacity

Through the integration of data center data, the current U-position, load-bearing, optical port, network port and PDU power distribution terminal capacity occupancy of each cabinet can be displayed intuitively and three-dimensionally, enabling data center operation and maintenance personnel to effectively coordinate various resources.

2. Data center monitoring subsystem construction

The virtual digital twin model integrates the monitoring subsystems of the data center to realize the integrated display of the whole data of the data center. Through the virtual-real interaction between the virtual digital twin and the physical entity, the reverse operation and control of the digital model to the equipment are realized.

  (1)Moving ring monitoringSystem

The dynamic ring monitoring system mainly provides power detection, environmental detection, equipment monitoring, etc. For the data center, the power system is as important as the heart to the human body. Power distribution cabinets, UPS hosts, batteries, etc. provide the main driving force for the safe operation of the data center. The dynamic ring monitoring system mainly monitors the switch state, voltage, current, temperature and other data of each circuit to ensure the stable operation of power distribution equipment.

The various types of equipment in the data center are environmentally demanding, soTemperature and humidityDetection, gas detection, water leakage detection is extra important. In addition, the running status of all kinds of equipment in the data center and the collection and monitoring of real-time data are also the main functions of the dynamic ring monitoring system.

 

(2) Security monitoring system

In terms of the physical environment, the security monitoring system can display the layout of the data center fire equipment in a three-dimensional visual model.Detector, real-time data of infrared thermal energy detector equipment, timely notification and alarm of abnormal fire situation; From the perspective of human factors, the security monitoring system can display the entry and exit of personnel of each entrance guard in the three-dimensional visual model, and can also retrieve and view the contents of each monitoring camera at any time, so as to timely discover, warn and deal with abnormal intrusion behaviors.

 

(3) Alarm processing system

Interfacing with all kinds of Internet of Things sensing equipment, when abnormal events occur in physical entities, the system can highlight and flash in the three-dimensional visualization model, accompanied by alarm tone, prompting operation and maintenance personnel from various aspects and angles to ensure the safe operation of the data center.

 

(4)AR operation and maintenance

The system combines AR technology with BIM three-dimensional modeling technology, which can help the daily inspection and operation and maintenance of the data center: capture the key information of the inspected equipment through AR technology, compare and check with the background data, feed back the problematic equipment to the operation and maintenance personnel in time, and can accurately inform the fault location, and even provide the optimal path navigation for picking up and repairing routes, let the operation and maintenance personnel find the faulty equipment as soon as possible.

 

(5) Artificial intelligence algorithm model

In addition to the visual display of data, another key point of DT is the intelligent algorithm model. It is like the brain of the data center, making decisions about its safe, low-cost operation. The system provides a variety of data center related algorithms, including fault algorithm diagnosis model, health evaluation model, green energy consumption model and so on. Among them, the algorithm diagnosis model is applied to intelligently diagnose the current failure data through the accumulation of big data in each data center, judge the cause and source of the failure, and propose solutions in combination with relevant knowledge. The health evaluation model carries out predictive maintenance in combination with the whole life cycle of the data center, thus greatly reducing the system failure or maintenance time; the green energy consumption model calculates the optimal energy-saving scheme of the data room through the data feedback analysis of the acquisition equipment, for example, according to the analysis of the energy consumption model, the time period when the server is running less, and the air conditioning system can reduce the output of the air supply cooling to save energy consumption.

On the whole, based on digital twin technology, visual intelligent operation and maintenance of the data center can be realized. Real-time monitoring and dynamic display of various physical entity elements of the data center can be carried out through Internet of Things acquisition equipment. Combined with historical multi-dimensional big data analysis, the status and performance of the equipment can be analyzed and predicted in time to output guiding data for the work of operation and maintenance personnel.
