As part of the disaster recovery and backup plan, Wu Hao and the others need to establish their own data centers in different regions to ensure data security.
As for the Northwest R&D Center, the geology is stable and there are no disasters. It meets several conditions for the location of the data center, so it is of course no problem to establish it here.
And compared to other regions, the environment here is safer, so Wu Hao stored and backed up some important data information here.
With curiosity, Erma followed Wu Hao to the data center.
said it is a data center, but from the outside it looks more like a Fangzheng factory or stadium. The whole shape belongs to a relatively regular white cuboid, very ordinary, and it looks nothing special.
Putting on shoe covers and dust-proof clothing, everyone finally walked into the factory. The internal situation really made them widen their eyes, showing a look of surprise.
I saw that the interior of the huge factory was divided into several areas of the same size by the passage. Each area was equipped with iron shelves from fixed to ground. There were a total of more than a dozen floors. Running server.
With so many server units and so many areas, it is very shocking to see at a glance. It's like being in a pure digital space, looking at the servers flashing on the shelves around, everyone is in a daze.
"Good guy, with such a large scale, I'm afraid it will be able to catch up with the ‘torch’ in your new headquarters in Anxi." Old Ma exclaimed.
As for Wu Hao, he shook his head, "No, the data center in the torch uses a new structure, so the quantity and quality have also improved a lot."
"With so many servers, how do you solve their heat dissipation and cooling problems." Brother Xiao Ma immediately asked a more professional question that many people in the accompanying team wanted to ask.
One of the most difficult problems to solve for such large server units, and the most troublesome is the heat dissipation problem of these servers. For this, everyone has their own unique tricks. For example, in a, the server is directly immersed in a special cooling solution, and Penguin places the server in a natural cave in Qian Province.
And here is the arid desert area in the northwest. Fortunately in winter, the temperature here is relatively low and the server operating temperature is more suitable.
But in summer, the daytime temperature in the desert is relatively high. How can we cool these running servers so that they can operate normally? Everyone can't help but become curious.
Wu Hao smiled and said, "It's actually very simple, even easier than in the mainland.
First of all, the temperature here in winter is very low, so we can use the low temperature here to cool down these server units.
This natural cooling method can not only save energy and reduce emissions, reduce operating costs, but also has a very obvious effect.
The summer that everyone cares about is actually very simple. In summer, there is strong sunlight during the day, and the time is relatively long, and the temperature is relatively high.
Then can we use these resources? The answer is yes. Solar cooling technology can be said to solve this problem very well for us.
Through solar refrigeration technology, we can lower the temperature of the entire computer room, and even connect capillary lines to cool down the water cycle.
In this way, we can guarantee that it can operate normally throughout the year, and the cost is very low. "
"What you said I want to build a data center in this desert." After hearing his introduction, the old horse couldn't help but feel moved.
In a data center, the most energy consuming is nothing more than its cooling system, which is also the largest part of operating costs. If this piece can be saved, it is equivalent to saving a lot of money.
You must know that whether it is a Li or Penguin, the number of their servers is far ahead in the industry. Therefore, both of them are very curious about this technology that can reduce operating costs.
"Come on, I believe the place must be very enthusiastic for your two companies to move in." Wu Hao said with a smile.
However, the enthusiasm of the two faded soon. Xiao Ma shook his head and said, "Forget it, the gain is not worth the loss. In order to save so little money, we have to build in such a barren land.
In a data center, some are too concerned about one another and lose out. "
Hearing what Brother Xiao Ma said, Lao Ma also nodded, "I was almost moved by this, indeed, some of the gains outweighed the gains. And in this kind of data center construction, the technology and experience we have accumulated are also great."
Hearing what the two said, Wu Hao did not make a statement, but continued to introduce to the two, "Look, everyone, this is the capillary water cooling system all over the server.
A brief introduction by Wu Hao, everyone can't help but look at it. Between the motherboards in a server, there is a rectangle with many tiny pipelines all over it. If it wasn't for the flowing water to be blue, everyone would still not be able to see the blue pipeline that the cuboid device made up.
This is our water circulation cooling system, which can effectively cool our servers by keeping cold water flowing in the water pipes at one to two degrees all year round. "
"These blue liquids are really water, right? Are you afraid of problems?"
At present, whether it is the server cooling system ~EbookFREE.me~ or the computer mainframe liquid cooling system, what is used is exclusive cold coolant, and there are few direct water additions. It's not that these businesses don't want to use it, but because the water can't reach the cooling effect, and there may be problems, such as leakage, or because the water vapor is easy to evaporate, so there may be problems.
Wu Hao smiled and shook his head. "The water used in the entire water circulation cooling system is pure water, but for identification, we added pigments.
The water in the entire water circulation cooling system is not in direct contact with the server, so it is very safe and reliable.
Even if there is a problem with the equipment in the water circulation cooling system, the intelligent system will automatically determine it very quickly, and then suspend the water circulation system of this network, and the corresponding server will stop operating. ""
Having said this, Wu Hao smiled and said, "Next, we will also promote and develop unmanned data center management and operation technology in accordance with our tradition. That is to say, in the future, our company's data center will be completely operated and managed by the system. , Our personnel will not intervene unless necessary."
"With such a high degree of autonomy, aren't you afraid to cultivate a Ultron or Red Queen?" The old horse asked Wu Hao. Although it is a ridicule, there are also warnings and reminders in it.
"Hehehe, there is no worries in this regard at all. All our projects are progressing on the premise of safety. And I myself have always been very opposed to robots having autonomous consciousness." Wu Hao replied with a slight smile.
