Huawei Promotes Sustainable Data Centers

In order to encourage sustainability in the data center business, Huawei hosted the Global Data Center Facility Forum 2022 in Monaco, with the theme ‘Smart DC, Building the Future.’ More than 200 company executives, industry experts, clients, and partners from across the world attended the conference to make vital contacts and address major challenges confronting the fast changing sector, including decarbonization and digitization.

Charles Yang, Senior Vice President of Huawei & CEO, Huawei Data Center Facility Team, said in his opening remarks that as we enter the intelligent era and carbon neutrality has become the global shared mission, data centers will see changes in the service form, energy supply, and operation and maintenance models. Huawei Data Centre Facility Team will embrace the changes by optimizing organizational structure, continuously investing in innovation, and building a healthy business ecosystem to drive the sustainable development of the data center industry.

Green data centers play a critical role in achieving net-zero goals. In pursuit of green and low-carbon data centers, Huawei believes that data center facilities need to go green throughout the life cycle. It means the facility features a green construction with a prefabricated modular architecture, a green cooling solution to lower PUE, a green power supply with ultra-high power density, and AI-enabled green management.

When it comes to the role of green ICT in Europe’s path to decarbonization, He Bo, President of Huawei Digital Power Western Europe, stated that low-carbon ICT infrastructure, such as data centers, will play an important role in the future to support Europe’s goal of achieving ‘Carbon Neutrality by 2050’. Huawei delivers unique solutions such as quick delivery, extreme PUE, and centralized energy storage by merging digital and power electronics technology to develop low-carbon data centers and contribute to a greener society.

In his speech on Next-Generation DC, Sanjay Kumar Sainani, Global Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Huawei Data Center Business, stated that the next generation center will be converged, low carbon, and smart. Four technologies – Bit innovation, Watt innovation, Heat innovation, and Architecture innovation – will assist future-oriented, sustainable data centers.

At the event, several industry professionals provided their ideas on how to support the data center sector’s green and digital shift. Echelon’s CTO, Simon McCormick, described their digital transformation roadmap to carbon neutrality.

Kim Gunnelius, COO and Co-founder at Ficolo, talked about operating data centers with 100 percent green power and lower PUE, and enabling the industry to reduce its carbon footprint through data centers.

When compared to traditional solutions, modular and prefabricated construction excels at high quality, easy site administration, minimal risk, and green site operation, according to Xavier Matagne, CTO of Africa Data Centres.

Prescott Augustus GAYLORD, Senior Vice President and Head of Sustainability at DBS, highlighted DBS’s approaches for attaining decarbonization and digitalization.

Highlights at Datacloud Global Congress 2022

Huawei Digital Power showcased low-carbon, smart data center solutions and joined conversations around the trends that will shape the data center industry at Datacloud Global Congress 2022, the leading event in the data center and ICT sectors that was held in Monaco from 25-27 April.

Huawei exhibited the low-carbon, smart data center solutions at the booth, including the PowerPod+Smart Li power supply system for improved energy efficiency, the indirect evaporative cooling solution for the minimized use of potable water, and the smart modular DC for fast deployment and flexible scalability.

The answer to reducing climate change is to reduce the carbon footprint of power-hungry data centers. Huawei has officially joined the International Masons Climate Accord (ICA), a partnership created to govern a technique for measuring and reducing carbon in infrastructure through goods, electricity, and materials, to demonstrate its commitment to a low-carbon, smart society.

In the future, Huawei will work closely with partners such as consulting firms, design firms, engineering firms, and suppliers to create an open and win-win industrial ecosystem and support the long-term development of the data center sector.
