Entering the Torch Building, the first floor is actually a lobby like other buildings. But in the middle is the elevator of the entire building, which is also the largest single elevator in Anxi. This elevator can carry a weight of ten tons, which is higher than that of ordinary freight elevators.
double.
The elevator is also very huge, almost six or seven times that of ordinary elevators, and can accommodate thirty or forty people at the same time. Of course, the main reason for building such a large elevator is to transport equipment, especially some larger and heavier equipment.
The elevator is not closed around, but is in a semi-open mode. Inside the elevator, through the surrounding strip-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows, everyone can see the situation on each floor.
After staying in the lobby for a while, everyone took the huge elevator to the fourteenth floor. This is an ordinary floor in the building, and it is also a floor where many servers are placed.
The main reason why I came here is that there is a technical team working here.
When you walk out of the elevator, you will see a "back"-shaped corridor surrounding the elevator, surrounded by a space blocked by tempered glass. This kind of tempered glass that has been treated with a special process is not only strong, but also soundproof.
Heat insulation, fireproof and anti-theft.
There is also an invisible metal mesh in the glass. Once the glass is damaged by external force, the system will accurately position it.
The security system will also be activated, and the intelligent security robot can arrive in the shortest time. The security personnel will also arrive here within five minutes to deal with it.
Through these large floor-to-ceiling glass, everyone can also see the situation inside. There are many facilities like shelves placed inside, and various complicated pipelines are arranged on each shelf.
Seeing Wu Hao and others coming, these technicians greeted them one after another.
One of the young people came up to him and said in surprise: "Mr. Wu, why are you here?"
"Haha, I heard that your place is making good progress, so a few of us came over to take a look. Why, aren't you welcome?" Wu Hao joked at the young man in front of him.
This young man is called Ma Tao. Like Du Yonghui and Lin Jiaming before him, he is also a talent in cluster control.
They were the first batch of people to join the company, but Ma Tao was mainly responsible for interactive research on information data, which was not in the same direction as the previous two.
So Wu Hao asked him to be responsible for setting up the server cluster in the Torch Building of Linghu's new headquarters. He mainly used the new architecture in their cluster control technology to build the server cluster.
"Welcome, it's too late for me to be happy that you're here. How can I not welcome you?" Ma Tao immediately ushered everyone in, and then quickly took out a few bottles of water from the carton next to them and handed them to them.
"Mr. Wu, this is a construction site, so the conditions are relatively poor. There is nothing to entertain you. Please drink water first."
Wu Hao looked at the bottled water in his hand, smiled and said: "Construction sites don't pay attention to these things. Besides, aren't you the same? We just want to experience it."
Ma Tao smiled, and then introduced to Wu Hao and the others: "We are currently in the process of installing and debugging the sector server unit in the south area of the 14th floor.
Each layer is divided into four sector areas, southeast, northwest and northwest. Each area is divided into several units, arranged according to capital letters. Each unit is divided into several server units.
These servers together form a huge server cluster network system, which will support the exchange, transmission and processing of all data in our company after it is enabled."
With that said, Ma Tao led everyone to a server unit and introduced: "This is our blade server chassis, which contains several server modules. Each of these server modules can be taken out and replaced separately, which is very convenient and easy to maintain.
These server modules are designed by us and manufactured by multiple companies. The server chassis is also specially customized by us.
Each chassis is connected to the water cooling system of our building. Please see, these pipeline modules here are its water cooling system, and they also adopt a modular design to facilitate later maintenance and replacement.
These pipelines are like capillaries in a building, spread throughout the server, and can take away more than 80% of the heat generated when the server is running, so that the server is always at a suitable temperature."
"How powerful its cooling is, it's almost comparable to our water-cooled air conditioners or refrigerators."
After hearing Ma Tao's introduction, Zou Xiaodong couldn't help but ask: "With so many pipelines, what should I do if they are leaked? Will it affect the server?"
Ma Tao smiled and shook his head: "No, our server modules are all waterproof, and there are a large number of sensors arranged in these pipelines.
Once a leak occurs, the sensors in the pipeline will monitor changes in water pressure in the pipeline in the relevant area, and will immediately close the pipeline valve in this area and suspend the server operation. At this time, a specialized intelligent robot will come over for maintenance.
After the maintenance of the intelligent robot is completed, the valve will be reopened and these servers will continue to operate.
If the intelligent robot cannot eliminate the fault, it will be reported to the control center, which will arrange for specialized technicians to perform manual repairs.
In addition to the sensors in these pipelines, we have also deployed numerous sensors inside the server and in the room. Once water or fire is detected, an alarm will be issued and emergency treatment will also be carried out.
In addition, we have also installed an emergency drainage system, so that even if the main pipe breaks, this emergency drainage system can drain the water in the shortest time and avoid the spread of water.
And the system will also seal off the relevant areas to avoid the spread of water and fire, which is why we chose this special tempered glass."
After hearing Ma Tao's introduction, everyone couldn't help but nodded.
Tong Juan, who followed for the first time, focused on energy consumption. He asked Ma Tao: "To maintain the operation of such a complex system, the energy consumption must be very high, right?"
.”
Ma Tao smiled and said: "Actually, energy consumption is also an issue we considered at the beginning of the design. Although it cannot be said that the energy consumption is lower than those of famous server centers that focus on environmental protection, it has reached a very good level.
In fact, the biggest energy consumption of this water circulation cooling system is the large water pump placed at the bottom of the building. It needs to pump water to the top of the building, and then relies on the natural flow of water to lower places to slow down the cold water pumped up.
It flows downstairs, so overall it is actually very energy-saving.
The largest energy consumption is caused by server operation, which is inevitable for everyone."
