What monitoring systems are available in the data center machine room? What role does the cabinet play in the data center machine room
The data center computer room may be very strange to most friends. But it is an indispensable part of China's Internet industry in the new century. Its role is to use the existing Internet communication lines and broadband resources to establish a standardized telecommunications professional computer room environment. What monitoring systems are there in the data center machine room, and what role does the cabinet play in the data center machine room?
1、 What monitoring systems are available in the data center machine room
1. Powertrain monitoring
The power system monitoring of the machine room includes all the power equipment in the machine room, such as high-voltage power distribution, low-voltage power distribution, extra generator set, power distribution cabinet, UPS, DC power system, battery, etc.
Power supply and distribution: the computer room monitoring system monitors various parameters of the primary and secondary AC distribution cabinets' main circuits and sub circuits, such as voltage, current, power, etc. Display and record the change curve of various parameters, and record and alarm various alarm states.
Diesel generator set: the machine room monitoring system monitors the output voltage, current, frequency of the generator and the operating status of the generator set, and controls the start and stop of the generator set.
DC power supply system: monitor the state of input mains power, battery voltage and its state, display and record the change curve of battery voltage and battery temperature, and conduct real-time recording and alarm processing for various alarm states.
2. Environmental monitoring system
Computer room environment monitoring is an important component of IDC computer room monitoring, mainly including air conditioning equipment, temperature, humidity, and water leakage monitoring. The monitoring system group is composed of management system, monitoring management unit, data acquisition unit and pull probe.
Air conditioning equipment monitoring: according to the communication protocol and remote monitoring panel provided by the precision air conditioning provider, real-time monitoring of the precision air conditioning return air temperature, return air humidity, chilled water inlet and outlet temperature, flow, cooling water inlet and outlet temperature, as well as the working current of the refrigerator, chilled water pump and other parameters; Monitor compressor status, fan status, heater status, dehumidifier status and other working conditions; Control the start and stop of the air conditioner, and adjust the temperature and humidity. And process various alarm information.
Temperature and humidity monitoring: by collecting the temperature and humidity data monitored by the temperature and humidity sensors, the computer room monitoring system records and displays the temperature and humidity data and change curve of each area of the computer room in real time with an intuitive picture, as well as the processing of cross-border alarm information.
3. Fire system monitoring
The fire alarm status is monitored in real time by collecting the alarm signals of fire monitors, smoke detectors and temperature detectors. When a fire alarm occurs, the computer room monitoring system displays the alarm information in an intuitive picture and gives an alarm notice. Control measures are taken, such as turning on ventilation equipment, starting and stopping other related equipment.
4. Video system monitoring
The monitoring video system can save manpower and material resources for IDC room management, and accurately and efficiently monitor the network, power supply equipment and environment of the room in real time, find and remove faults in time, strengthen monitoring and management of the equipment in the room, adopt the security and stability of the equipment in the room, realize real-time information collection and processing, and realize the automation of alarm information processing. 2、 What role does the cabinet play in the data center machine room
1. Improve the overall beauty of the computer room and various appearances
Based on the standard of 19 inch equipment installation width, several manufacturers have innovated the appearance of the cabinet, and taken into account the appearance effect of the cabinet in the environment of single placement and multiple placement, Dinglong Company, for example, has added aluminum profile cabinet from the appearance, and designed a variety of appearances on the basis of the original steel profile cabinet, Such as arc mesh door cabinet, bow mesh door cabinet, concave convex mesh door cabinet, etc.
2. Realize intelligent management function of cabinet Intelligent cabinet
For the occasions where the data center machine room has high requirements for the operating environment and safety of the cabinet, the cabinet with intelligent system is required to meet the relevant requirements. The main intelligence is reflected in the diversification of monitoring functions:
(1) Temperature and humidity monitoring function
Temperature and humidity detection devices are installed inside the intelligent cabinet system, Virtual machine It can intelligently monitor the temperature and humidity of the internal environment of the regulated power supply system, and display the monitored temperature and humidity values on the monitoring touch screen in real time.
(2) Smoke detection function
By installing smoke detectors inside the smart cabinet system, the fire status of the smart cabinet system can be detected. When there are abnormal conditions inside the smart cabinet system, the relevant alarm status can be displayed on the display interface.
(3) Intelligent cooling function
Users can set a set of temperature ranges for the regulated power supply system according to the temperature environment required by the equipment in the cabinet during operation. When the temperature in the regulated power supply system exceeds this range, the cooling unit will automatically start working.
(4) System status detection function
The intelligent cabinet system itself has its working status and LED indicator light display of data information acquisition alarm, and can be intuitively displayed on the LCD touch screen, with a beautiful, generous and clear interface.
(5) Smart device access function
The intelligent cabinet system has access to intelligent equipment, including intelligent electricity meters or UPS uninterruptible power supply. The corresponding data parameters are read through RS485/RS232 communication interface and Modbus communication protocol, and displayed on the screen in real time.
(6) Dynamic output function of relay
When the linkage of the pre designed system logic is received by the intelligent cabinet system, it will send a normally open/normally closed message to the DO channel of the hardware interface to drive the equipment connected to it to work, such as audible and visual alarms, fans and other equipment.
3. Intelligent air supply cabinet to save energy consumption in machine room operation
The user must solve the following problems: the communication equipment will gather a lot of heat in the cabinet due to the heating caused by work, which will affect the stable operation of the equipment. The intelligent air supply cabinet can be configured according to the situation of each cabinet (such as the number of installed equipment, requirements for air conditioning, power supply, wiring and other infrastructure), so as to avoid unnecessary waste, save initial investment and energy consumption, and bring greater value to users. In addition, the value of intelligent air supply cabinet products is also reflected in the full load support of equipment. Generally speaking, traditional cabinets cannot be fully equipped with servers and other equipment, because once a large number of equipment is installed, it is likely to cause local overheating of the cabinet, resulting in server downtime in the cabinet.
Seeing this, I think I have already answered what monitoring systems are available in the data center machine room and what role the cabinet plays in the data center machine room. In fact, with the continuous development of the data center, the use of cabinets in the data center machine room is becoming more and more extensive, and the monitoring system, not to mention, always pays attention to the various states of the data center, which provides a layer of security and reliability for the data center.
