Vertiv helps Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operations Center build a new benchmark for financial industry data centers

Project Background

The Shanghai Gold Exchange was established by the People's Bank of China with the approval of the State Council. It specializes in the gold and other precious metals trading market. As the only national-level market in China that specializes in gold trading, the Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operation Center was established in the Shenzhen Futian Financial Core District in 2017. In 2019, the construction of the data center was started. The computer room has a construction area of ​​about 2,203.2 square meters. It is a 1:1 disaster recovery computer room for the Shanghai Gold Exchange's main data center (production computer room part), and the number of cabinets is planned to be 358.

As a new business growth point, relying on the Shenzhen Operations Center, as an important infrastructure connecting the Hong Kong and Macao gold markets, it undertakes the functions of Shanghai Gold Exchange's off-site disaster backup, gold custody, and southern market operations. It is of great significance to improve Shenzhen's financial factor market, promote the transformation and upgrading of Shenzhen's gold industry, and promote the construction of Shenzhen Financial Center. It also plays a positive role in the marketization and internationalization of Shenzhen's gold industry.

The Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operation Center invited Vertiv to provide leading and highly reliable solutions based on high standards to ensure the continuous operation of key applications of the Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operation Center.

Challenges faced

According to the high-specification and high-standard planning, the computer room of the Shenzhen Operation Center needs to meet the development of IT systems in the next ten years, especially in the reserved capacity of power supply and cooling, which needs to meet the future demand with the continuous growth of data; in the face of severe and harsh environments, it is also necessary to ensure the uninterrupted and stable operation of key applications 24 hours a day in real time; in the face of the "dual carbon" goals, it is necessary to comply with the national PUE policy and truly implement energy conservation and consumption reduction.

Solution

The Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operation Center data room construction uses Vertiv technology solutions across the board, including the following core star products, which help build a high-level financial data center through significant performance advantages and technical highlights.
Liebert^® EXL series high-power UPS is the first integrated integrated UPS with features such as high reliability, high maintainability, and high efficiency. Adopt 500kVA unit design, battery pack "without N wire"The battery charge/discharge design scheme has a double-conversion operating mode efficiency of up to 97%, and its dynamic online mode function can achieve an operating efficiency of up to 99%.

Liebert^® PEX4 ultra-high energy-efficiency precision air conditioner adopts an overall modular frame structure design, which is easy to disassemble and transport, and can be deployed quickly. The unit adopts full frequency conversion control of the whole machine, and applies technologies such as supply air temperature control, variable load operation, intelligent group control and hot backup. The unit can achieve an energy efficiency ratio of more than 4.0 under rated conditions, and can also operate at higher outdoor temperatures. Turning on natural cooling at low temperature can significantly improve the overall PUE value of the computer room throughout the year.

Liebert^® PEH wet film humidifier adopts leading isenthalpic humidification control logic to optimize airflow organization results, making the overall wet-to-work ratio up to 37.74. It is equipped with imported inorganic wet film as standard, and its bacteria resistance, dirt resistance, corrosion resistance, and flame retardancy are greatly improved. It is easier to maintain and fully meets the reliability requirements of the computer room.

Liebert^® VCC centralized condenser adopts a fully modular structure, which is easy to expand, manage and maintain. By installing multiple devices in parallel, it can optimize the outdoor unit airflow organization and achieve complete isolation of hot and cold air. At the same time, the optimization of the heat exchanger increases the efficiency of the outdoor unit by 30%, reduces the noise by 10 decibels compared to traditional condensers, and reduces the floor space by 70%.

Customer Value

Vertiv provided a full range of application solutions for the construction of the data center of the Shanghai Gold Exchange Shenzhen Operation Center, ensuring that its key infrastructure is at a leading level of high efficiency and high reliability, and protecting the data security of the Shenzhen Operation Center with excellent performance, creating a new benchmark for the construction of computer rooms in the financial industry, and becoming a high-quality government project that satisfies citizens, bringing extraordinary value experience to customers at multiple levels.
