In recent years, the IDC industry has developed rapidly. With the development of the IDC industry, more and more enterprises have enjoyed the dividend of the IDC industry. This year, although the real economy was hit hard by the outbreak of New Champions, it also further promoted the process of digital transformation in all walks of life. What is the future of IDC? Micronet believes that resources and services determine everything.
With the gradual advancement of digital transformation in all walks of life, more and more leading enterprises in industries such as finance, steel, and real estate "cross the border" into the IDC market. Although compared with traditional IDC service providers, they are still "novices" in the IDC field, but they have a lot of resources in their own fields. To this end, Micronet believes that, For the current data center market, the advantages of traditional giants' cross-border entry into the IDC market outweigh the disadvantages. "First of all, these giant companies have a large amount of capital and land resources, but lack experience in the construction and operation of data centers, which happens to form complementary advantages with traditional IDC service providers. Second, the influx of industry giants will greatly enhance the attractiveness of the data center market for high-end talents, and enhance industrial innovation capabilities and the application of new technologies.
Micronet said that these "cross-border" entry into leading enterprises will inevitably impact the IDC market and produce a chain reaction. In his view, the impact mainly includes two aspects: first, it has impacted the original market pattern and intensified the merger and integration between enterprises. Although some IDC service providers are small in scale and lack the ability to develop data centers, they have certain customer resources, and IDC will quickly integrate and gradually form an oligopoly competition model; Second, "cross-border" entry will lead to the commissioning of a large number of new data center projects, and partial or unbalanced supply and demand problems.
How should traditional IDC enterprises cope with the above two points? Micronet believes that as a traditional IDC service provider, we should first face up to the industrial changes brought about by the "cross-border" giants, make full use of our advantages in the traditional IDC field, and gradually realize the transformation from a resource-based service provider to a service provider by taking advantage of the traditional IDC field.
In addition to more and more leading enterprises entering the IDC market "cross-border" gradually affect the development of the IDC market, the guidance of national policies also relates to the development trend of the IDC industry. Since 2012, the country has started restructuring the domestic data center industry. Focus on regional development, rational layout and other aspects to guide.
In the past two years, the policy has been gradually deepened, from the general direction of controlling the industry to specific issues such as energy consumption and overcapacity. The introduction of relevant policies has a positive role in promoting the healthy and orderly development of China's data center industry. In response to this situation, Micronet said that it actively responded to the national call, cooperated with policy adjustment and industrial layout, implemented the concept of green development, boldly explored new energy-saving technologies and applications in data centers, actively promoted product and business model innovation, and enhanced service awareness and anti risk ability while practicing its internal skills.
Sustainable development is an important development policy that China has long adhered to. Energy conservation, emission reduction and green development are important measures for the country to refine the data center industrial development policy. In view of this, Micronet believes that today, "green" has become an important indicator of the development of data centers, as well as the most urgent and realistic challenge.
Energy conservation is not only a policy issue of the data center, but also related to the "purse" of the data center. It is reported that taking the data center with 1000 cabinets as an example, 0.2 PUEs have been reduced, which can save nearly 8 million yuan annually. Micro system network said: "Although the strict control of PUE forces the data center builders to invest more money, in the long run, it is conducive to reducing the cost of the entire life cycle, and will also promote the improvement of the data center from planning, design, implementation, operation to the overall level.
According to the information provided by the Micron Network, in terms of energy-saving technology and application, the Micron Network has been constantly exploring and innovating. Indirect evaporative cooling and heat recovery and other energy-saving and environmental protection technologies have been adopted in new projects. " "These two technologies can not only significantly reduce the PUE value, but also recycle the heat energy generated by the data center and supply it to the surrounding industrial parks for heating and heat energy recycling, so as to realize the" waste to treasure "of heat energy.
Due to the increasing demand of various industries for data centers in the process of digital transformation, the use of data centers varies from industry to industry due to their different fields. Therefore, higher requirements are put forward for IDC service providers.
The modular construction mode has become the choice of more and more data center builders. For example, Google, Tencent and other enterprises have successfully deployed large container data centers. Micronet believes that on the one hand, the modular data center has obvious advantages in energy consumption, rapid deployment, flexibility, low cost, site requirements, etc; On the other hand, it is also due to the special needs of Google, Tencent and other enterprises for data centers.
Micro system network shows that customized construction according to user needs has become a major trend in data center construction. Both the modular construction of the data center and the traditional data center construction mode should be based on the market demand. At the same time, he believes that the customized construction model puts forward higher requirements for the data center builders, and the construction of the data center is no longer a simple "copy and paste".
It is reported that since its establishment, Micronet has always adhered to the self built and self operated model of the data center, established a professional data center planning, design, construction and operation management team, and has experience in the construction and operation of multiple large-scale data center projects, ranging from project investment and ecological construction, to project screening, consultation and drainage, to project construction and operation, It forms a closed loop of the whole life cycle of the IDC industry, which can provide enterprises with one-stop services from early planning, design, consultation to later operation, and also meet the customized needs of customers in different industries.
In addition to modularization and customization, Micronet believes that intelligent operation will also become the development direction of future data centers. "Now, the operators themselves have become an unsafe factor in the data center," said Micronet. According to relevant data, 70% of data center accidents are caused by human factors. Therefore, intelligent and automatic operation will be the inevitable trend of data center development.
Micronet believes that the intelligent operation of domestic data centers is far from that of developed countries such as Europe and the United States. In families, most data center access management, daily patrol inspection, equipment management, loading and unloading management and other work still need to be completed manually. Therefore, the intelligence level of the data center will become one of the main competitive advantages of IDC service providers in the future. It is reported that Micronet has been paying attention to the development of intelligent and automatic operation technology of the data center, and has begun to layout in advance, actively exploring the application and innovation of relevant technologies of the data center in access management, daily patrol inspection, environmental monitoring, etc.
Micronet believes that in the future, only IDC enterprises better understand customer needs and provide IDC service providers that can solve the pain points of customer digital transformation can they remain invincible in the process of IDC industry reform.
