What is a Containerized Data Center?

A containerized data center is a shipping container that is set up to accommodate IT equipment. The container may be configured to accommodate some combination of servers, storage devices, networking gear, uninterruptible power supplies, generators and cooling equipment.

There are many advantages to using containerized data centers for all or part of your data center needs: free up space, designed to be energy efficient, rapid deployment.

In the meantime, there are some possible deployment challenges that may occur. For instance, a thorough understanding of what you get, finding the right location, also the appropriate power, cooling, and IT infrastructure.

Hightopo 3D visualization solution

For this reason, Hightopo brought up a 3D visualization solution to completely simulate the overall picture of the data center, and further archive the goal of centralized deployment and management of many subsystems.

Data visualization

On the right-hand of the dashboard, you can check the overview of the containerized data center, such as capacity statistics, asset statistics, pipeline statistics, alarm statistics, etc. An overall view of the containerized data center structural layout, as well as equipment information such as cabinets, servers, air conditioners, generators, power distribution cabinets, and UPS, etc.

Individual Cabinet Visualization

Each cabinet is clickable and we can visualize/monitoring each cabinet’s information remotely. The real-time data and historical data allows operators to be more proactive as he can get a view of what’s coming and be more prepared on what to do about it.

Pipeline Visualization

Pipeline indicated power flow, this can effectively sort out the electrical pipeline and network lines, allowing operators to be more intuitively understand the big structure of the pipeline and quickly troubleshoot issues to reduce downtime.

Temperature & Humidity Visualization

It’s essential to maintain and control ideal environmental conditions, with precise humidity and temperature measurement to increase energy efficiency whilst reducing energy costs in Data Centers. Hightopo provides a fully 3D thermal map that indicates the temperature and humidity intuitively. Once the environment changed to a certain level, it will alert the operators and allows operations to quickly located the overheated machine.

Hightopo is a company specialized in 2d & 3d visualization, we developed a powerful web-based 2D and 3D rendering engine which provides rich display effects for data visualization.
