The importance of U-level assets in multi-dimensional capacity management

Capacity management is an important operation and maintenance method to improve resource utilization and optimize return on investment in data center.

The multidimensional capacity management of the equipment room covers several categories such as space, power, cooling, and load-bearing, among which the use of space, that is, the use of U-level assets, is directly related to the configuration of power, cooling, and load-bearing, so the capacity management is mainly planned in the U-level planning of the space, affecting the whole body.

At present, with the help of the U-level asset ，system management platform and other operation and maintenance systems, capacity planning and impact analysis can be refined management:

1) Manage data center capacity from multiple dimensions;

2) Take the initiative to analyze the impact of capacity changes;

3) Make reasonable decisions and planning for equipment shelving;

4) Simulate fault impact to identify the impact on critical business applications;

5) Cooperate with the alarm system to improve fault prediction and processing capabilities.

As first-tier cities such as Beijing、Shanghai and Shenzhen have successively introduced policies to limit the PUE value of data centers, maximizing the use of space equipment resources, improving production efficiency, improving operation and maintenance efficiency, and reducing operating costs have become an important direction for the development planning of a new generation of data centers.
