I. Energy supply: more than one-third of a data center's budget will be environmental costs. About 60% of the asset expenditure and 50% of the operating cost of the data center are related to energy. To ensure high performance while minimizing cooling is a must for cloud data centers to achieve "green", which requires a more scientific and reasonable power supply and cooling system configuration.
Two, climate factors: Although the temperature, typhoons, floods, droughts and other natural climate factors are cloud data center layout factors, but the temperature conditions are the need to focus on the consideration of climate factors. The location of the average annual temperature is one of the decisive factors affecting the energy consumption of cloud data centers, and even an important factor in determining the PUE.
Third, geological conditions: the earth's crust is stable, the possibility of geological disasters is small, to provide a guarantee of stable operation within the phase of the data center.
Currently, China's data center industry, although it has begun to show a trend toward scale, centralization, green, layout rationalization, and some successful cases have emerged. For example, Ordos big data center, the data center room in strict accordance with the international leading industry design standards, set IDC design concepts and green energy-saving technology in one, and the world's first-class IDC to keep pace with the whole society to provide the same level of service data center.
