IDX JinQiao boasts of extraordinary facilities and hardware and has applied many innovations in its power supply, cooling and hardware systems. The building of IDX Data Center is based on a general design from IBM and a set of hardware facility configuration standards that’s widely applied among big international datacenter operators and large finance institutions. For example, all ducts, HVAC ducts or power ducts, are built with sufficient redundancy; The power supply SAL is maintained as high as 99.995%; Measures are made to prevent single point failures from happening; No effort is spared to protect the stability of the hosting environment.
The IDX Data Center uses large STS cabinet units, with PDUs embedded in walls for higher availability and safety. Also, it is the first of SDS data centers that uses water cooling system and a supportive plate heat exchanger (PHE) system for natural cooling. The water cooling system can assure better cooling effect, but when in suitable temperature range, the PHE system could play an excellent supportive role. Also, the entire building is enclosed with a heat insulation coat design. Compressors of higher efficiency are used for more precise control of air flows. The HVAC system is optimized, together with high-efficiency management system and other technical measures, to ensure the highest possible power use effectiveness (PUE) without compromising availability and reliability.
IDX JinQiao is the first commercial data center in China that adopts electronic distribution frames. It provides following advantages:
1、Smart systematic software providing graphical operating interface for users to have an overall and clear view over the changes of all management factors;
2、Based on highly efficient electronic Work Sheets, provide remote operating aids, covering orders like Move, Add and Change;
3、Use LEDs and LCD screens to facilitate data line location and identification; Use the same smart guide system to ensure wire jumping operations;
4、Distribution frame monitoring (incl. remote, centralized and real-time monitoring); Unauthorized operation warning and warning reports;
5、Automatic port connection files updating in real time to ensure the timeliness and accuracy of all messages;
6、Copper cable N+1 deployment for user cabinets to ensure availability;
7、Effectively reduce fault rate, shorten troubleshooting time and improve O&M efficiency;
All IDX data centers under SDS’s control are directly linked into the networks of the Big 3 Chinese telecommunication operators in a double-line full redundancy connection mode. In addition to that, based on its self-built BGP network, SDS has developed a high-speed information transmission network covering the whole Shanghai.
Currently, the SDS IDX JinQiao Data Center is mainly committed to providing services to high-end customers. Today, government agencies like Shanghai Municipal Housing Support and Building Administration, Shanghai Municipal Meteorological Bureau, the People’s Bank of China, state-owned banks like ICBC, and renown enterprises like Tyco Electronics, Siemens, Samsung Network, SONY, Roche Diagnostic, Infosys, Shanda Group, Ninemsn, and hundreds of other organizations are using SDS’s hosting solutions. During the long-term data center construction and O&M, SDS will continue devoting itself to improving the availability and power use efficiency of its computer rooms and carry through all construction works according to the highest possible security standards.
