The Wuhan epidemic has not yet ended. Many companies have started operations, and some companies still maintain online offices. The epidemic has caused a great impact on many industries, especially catering and other industries that have been hit hard. So what impact will it have on the data center industry, especially the integrated wiring operation and maintenance work in the data center infrastructure? The summary is as follows:
1. Failure handling is not timely.
2. If one person is infected, everyone needs to be quarantined, including security and cleaning.
3. The shelf rate increases, and the infrastructure operation and maintenance cannot keep up.
4. Hope to manage remotely.
5. The demand for robots will increase in the future.
During the epidemic, most companies chose the AB position system, which is equivalent to changing from the original 10 people to 5 people, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of the work, the time for troubleshooting is not timely, and the probability of failure will increase accordingly. . If one person is infected at this time, the operation and maintenance personnel of all the doors may face isolation, but the basic operation and maintenance work such as equipment loading and unloading will not stop, which is why the infrastructure operation and maintenance work cannot keep up. .
Based on these conditions, in this special period, many industry experts and business leaders have put forward the hope that most of the basic operation and maintenance work can be remotely managed, including remote work in normal work after the epidemic in the future. First; it can reduce corporate office costs, increase revenue and reduce expenditure; second; employees can also do their own work while taking care of more personal, family and life matters; doing a good job in protection and minimizing personnel density is what we must always pay attention to in the future thing. Some people have proposed to use robots to replace more human work. Personally, this is also an important trend in the future.
In view of the above-mentioned assumptions, the visualized operation and maintenance management platform of Navdi's computer room equipment and lines can not only realize all of them but also many other functions. The main reason for the failure to handle the fault in time is because the basic data is inaccurate or missing. Another reason is that the time for troubleshooting is not timely enough because of the complicated search time of the line connection. The biggest advantage of the Navedi data center equipment and line visualized operation and maintenance management platform is that it can realize the connection between the equipment ports and automatically generate the topology map of the link. The data and scenes of the software platform are truly consistent with the current situation in the computer room, which also provides raw data for robot operations, which is the prerequisite foundation for robots to replace human work. At the same time, remote office is achieved. Because the content of the platform is consistent with the existing computer room, the operation and maintenance personnel can survey and plan information on the platform. After the planning is completed, a work order is automatically generated and sent to the implementation personnel or robots, reducing on-site surveys And document the two steps after implementation. While saving time and improving the efficiency of operation and maintenance, accurate data records are also available. The process-based operation and maintenance management concept implemented in online planning and offline implementation improves work efficiency and has a clear division of responsibilities. There are accurate records on the platform who does the planning and who implements it. In addition, for data center operation and maintenance work, document management, asset management, capacity management, change management, and event management of important data can also be realized.
