According to the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, this national standard compiled by it and a number of enterprises and institutions is in line with the current needs of the national computing infrastructure construction and the high-quality development of the computing industry.
The standard stipulates the technical and hierarchical requirements of Internet data centers (IDCs) in six aspects: green, availability, security, service capabilities, computing power efficiency, and low carbon, and is applicable to the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance and evaluation of Internet data centers (IDCs), hoping to better deepen the enabling role of different industries.
High energy efficiency has always been a widely concerned issue in the development of data centers, and the national standard will put forward specific requirements to promote the improvement of energy efficiency levels of data centers in terms of green technology application and operation and maintenance system managementService capability is the comprehensive embodiment of the external service of the data center, and through the objective evaluation of the service capability, it is conducive to the self-improvement of the data center, and it is also conducive to the customer to choose the appropriate data center according to business needsIn terms of availability, by improving equipment redundancy, the ability of the data center to cope with emergencies can be better guaranteed in terms of architectureSecurity helps keep data center equipment running and people safe. Through the comprehensive evaluation of the data center level, it is conducive to the operators to strengthen their self-understanding and the industry to choose according to their needs.
