Breaking out of the cocoon and turning into a butterfly, Hubei Mobile’s old factory building was transformed into an IDC data center!

China Mobile Hubei Branch (hereinafter referred to as Hubei Mobile) has been committed to consolidating the "digital foundation", accelerating digital transformation and upgrading, and giving Hubei's economy "wings to take off."

"We will embrace the digital era, promote the construction of network computing power in central China, and accelerate digital development." According to the company's 14th Five-Year Plan, Hubei Mobile started the construction of the Chuping Road IDC data center. The project leader said: "We plan to transform the old communication equipment factory on Chuping Road into a green, ecological, smart, efficient, low-carbon and environmentally friendly IDC park to continue to help the development of Hubei's economy."

"Breaking out of the cocoon" is full of difficulties

Hubei Mobile planned to transform the warehouse of the old factory into a supporting power room for the data center. During the planning process, it was found that due to the limitations of the original functional area division of the warehouse, the available area for power supply equipment was small, while the traditional power supply and distribution system equipment was numerous and complex and occupied a large area. One warehouse could not meet the deployment needs.

In addition, there is a certain gap between the architectural structure and fire protection of the old warehouse and the construction requirements of the data center, such as insufficient load-bearing capacity and floor height, and poor renovation conditions.

How can we “break out of the cocoon”, quickly overcome difficulties according to local conditions, and deploy a safe and efficient power supply system?

"Rebirth", glowing with new vitality

Just when Hubei Mobile was at a loss, Huawei Power Module 3.0 was eye-catching. Its minimalist converged architecture and ultra-high-density UPS 5000-H optimized the space layout of the power supply system, saving 40% of the floor space, and only required simple modifications. , which perfectly fits the available space and building structure of the warehouse.

The segmented design and on-site integration model of the traditional power supply system involves a large amount of on-site connection work of cables and copper bars, which generally takes 2 months to deliver. However, the internal connections of Huawei Power Module 3.0 use prefabricated bridge-type busbars, which are installed in the factory Prefabrication and commissioning were completed, and on-site construction only took 2 weeks, shortening the delivery time by 75%.

The high-efficiency power supply system can reduce a large amount of power loss and help the park save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Compared with the traditional power supply link, the power module 3.0 shortens the link and improves the efficiency of the entire link by at least 2%. It is expected to save 3 million kWh of electricity in 10 years.

Thanks to the iPower intelligent features of the power module 3.0, the entire chain is visible. With the help of AI temperature prediction, key component life prediction, intelligent setting and other double-layer reliable designs, the power supply system of the park can achieve automatic self-prediction, which greatly simplifies the operation and maintenance work.

"Butterfly Transformation", Spreading Wings and Soaring

The project leader of Hubei Mobile said: "This cooperation with Huawei is like a 'metamorphosis'. Even though the transformation of the old factory is full of difficulties, we can gather strength and seize opportunities to finally break out of the cocoon and fly high. In the future, Hubei Mobile will give full play to its role as the "main force" and "vanguard", keep close to the pace of Hubei's digital economy, maintain a moderately advanced progress, accelerate the construction of new data centers, contribute to the construction of a digital 'nine provinces', and promote the development of Hubei's digital industry."
