Direction 232 Finalize the data center

The efficiency of the Hai District Government is still very high, and on the third day after Mayor Wang's inspection, news of the land transfer came.

After the discussion of the leaders of the sea area and the approval of the Beijing municipal government, it was preliminarily agreed to transfer the No. 3 plot of the sea district science and technology park to Guanghui Technology. Lot 3 covers an area of 43,000 square meters, equivalent to 65 acres of land, which is enough to build a large data center and the headquarters building of the Korn Ferry Group.

At present, the land price of the normal commercial land near the science and technology park is more than 6,000 square meters, but the construction of the science and technology park itself is to introduce competitive high-tech enterprises to land, so the land transfer price has always been preferential, and the price to be transferred by the sea district government is 4,100 per square meter, which is equivalent to a total price of 176 million. Therefore, after receiving the communication from the sea area, we quickly agreed to prepare for the relevant transfer procedures at this price.

Considering that the data center is jointly built by the school intranet and Guanghui Games, and there may be multiple companies working in the headquarters in the future, Jiang Hui is ready to lease this land in the name of Guanghui Technology. After that, the land of the data center can be used normally by paying a certain rent on the campus intranet and Korn Ferry. In fact, the real investment scale of data centers is more than one billion.

"Flash rain, the construction address of the data center has been preliminarily determined, and now the land is still going through the transfer procedures, although the procedures are not so fast, but the data center construction preparatory team can plan how to build the data center in advance according to this land, and start the infrastructure construction as soon as possible," Jiang Hui said to Flash Rain.

The infrastructure construction of data centers is a very important part of the construction of computer rooms. The computer room project not only integrates multiple professional technologies such as construction, electrical, installation, and network, but also requires rich experience in project implementation and management. The quality of the design and construction of the computer room is directly related to whether the computer system in the computer room can operate stably and reliably, and whether it can ensure the unimpeded communication of all kinds of information.

Because the environment of the computer room must meet the requirements of various electronic equipment such as computers and staff for temperature, humidity, cleanliness, electromagnetic field strength, noise interference, safety and security, leakage prevention, power quality, vibration, lightning protection and grounding. Therefore, a qualified modern computer room should be a safe, reliable, comfortable and practical, energy-saving, efficient and scalable modern computer room with green concepts.

"Okay, Mr. Jiang, in fact, our planning team has made preliminary plans for all aspects of the construction of the data center, including decoration system engineering, power supply and distribution system engineering, air conditioning and fresh air system engineering, building intelligent system engineering, lightning protection system engineering and fire protection system engineering. Considering that each system project is composed of a number of subsystems, each subsystem is composed of a number of individual projects. In order to avoid follow-up problems, the preparatory team has verified the construction plans of each system many times," said Shanyu.

It is the organization of a complex data center that is formed by each individual project, which requires a lot of time to simulate and verify the plan, so Jiang Hui will let Shanyu start planning the construction of the data center at a very early stage.

"As a server that stores important information about the intranet and Guanghui games, any power system accident may cause immeasurable losses, so you should strive for safety and reliability, clear system, and good scalability in the early stage of power supply and distribution design, so that we can invest in additional servers in the future," Jiang Hui said.

"I understand, according to the plan of the preparatory team, the initial construction is to invest in 10,000 servers, and reserve space for expansion to 20,000," said Shanyu.

"This is the group's first data center, but also located next to the future group office building, there will be a lot of leading cadres to visit in the future, the construction of the data can not only look at the processing capacity of the data center, how big the disk array should be, how to plan the network, how to configure UPS, etc. It is also necessary to pay attention to the energy consumption, air conditioning and environmental protection design of the data center," Jiang Hui said.

Energy conservation and emission reduction is a strategic decision for the sustainable development of the country, and later governments have been advocating the construction of "green data centers" in the IT industry, and requiring any unit to consider the "greening" of data centers when planning data centers. Therefore, in order to prevent the first data center of the Korn Ferry Group from becoming obsolete so quickly, Jiang Hui asked the preparatory team to fully consider the issue of green environmental protection, after all, the daily power consumption of 10,000 or 20,000 servers is very amazing. In later generations, when it came to the high temperature time in summer, the electricity consumption of the imperial capital was always very tight, and Jiang Hui did not want to cause problems in the data center because of the electricity consumption.

"Okay, we will pay attention, the preparatory team is also inviting some foreign experts to help evaluate the rationality of the data construction center plan, and we will fully review all the contents before starting the construction," said Shanyu.

"Well, but there has to be a clear time, it's the end of May, and the land transfer should be done next month, and I hope you will finalize the construction plan in August at the latest, start construction in September, and strive to complete it by September next year," Jiang Hui said.

"Okay, our preparatory team will prepare according to this time target, and I will report back to you regularly every week on the progress of the preparation," said Shanyu.

……

The construction address of the data center is basically determined, the investment is gradually in place, and the construction plan has also had a first draft, which is currently being continuously improved, basically the construction of the data center is finalized, and Jiang Hui only needs to pay attention to the progress in the later stage, and hold a groundbreaking ceremony when the foundation is laid, and ask Mayor Wang and the leaders of the sea district to attend.

After all, in 2004, an initial investment of 1 billion, followed by an additional investment of several billion yuan of the project is also a big project, the most important thing is that this project is completely a high-tech project. There are already a lot of data centers in domestic telecommunications and financial enterprises, but most of them are small projects, high energy consumption and low efficiency, such as the Guanghui Group, which is the first data center with a one-time construction investment of more than 10,000 servers. From this point of view, Korn Ferry Group has gone ahead of Penguin, Du Niang and Ali Baba.
