Constructing Smart Campus Based on Smart Modular Data Center

January 08,2021

Nowadays, IT has been the foundation of university operations, which is critical to connected learning, security, and energy management. As a result, data center with flexibility has become an important factor for smart campus construction. However, traditional campus' data centers are facing the problems of lower efficiency but higher power consumption. Besides, the cost of managing and scaling traditional data centers may create challenges for limited budget.

University

That's why more and more institutions switch to a compact modular data center, which is easier to afford, install and O&M. A modular data center not only consists of pre-engineered modular components such as uninterruptible power supply system, power distribution, cooling and battery but also include monitoring and control systems, access control and physical security.

Kstar modular data center solution, for example, is regarded as a plug and play IT infrastructure solution. The innovation gives universities the flexibility they need: IT staff can add or remove components as research, educational and administrative demands change. With the help of this advanced data center infrastructure solution, the intelligent reform of the campus can be promoted.

How universities can benefit from Kstar modular data center solution?

Higher Efficiency

Fast Delivery & Installation

With Standardization construction, uniform brand of parts, factory pre-installed, pre-test, on-site installation only need to access the mains and the network that can quickly put into use.

Easy O&M

Kstar modular data center supports local/remote monitoring, PAD or cell phone mobile O&M. It reduces the data center management burden on its small IT staff.

Cooling Efficiency

Compared with traditional cooling methods, IDM adopts cold or hot aisle containment to isolate cold and hot air while the closely coupled cooling to efficiently avoid partial hot spot. These cooling technologies significantly improve the cooling efficiency.

Lower TCO

Whether upgrading an existing data center or building a new one, the modular solutions can have lower TCO. On one hand, it can avoid overbuilt capacity, eliminating wasteful oversizing and allow systems to run at an overall higher percent load each year, resulting in energy savings. For another, better cooling efficiency helps lower the cooling cost. If taking the DCIM and maintain cost into account, the saving can be greater.

More Flexibility and Reliability

Capacity can be added on-demand to minimize up-front cash expenditure yet provide scalability in the future. All services including manufacture, install and test are backed by Kstar.

What's more, the integrated UPS of the data center adopts N+1 redundancy mode effectively avoiding single point of failure and improving system reliability. The built-in network management system monitors the comprehensive running status of the data center in real-time.
