The organization faced increasing demands for computing capacity and availability, while the available space for IT infrastructure was extremely limited. By deploying the Huawei FusionModule 800, we achieved a space footprint reduction of over 50% compared to the industry reference of 7 m² per rack, while maintaining full redundancy, operational resilience and future expandability.

The solution delivers a compact yet fully featured data center environment, designed to support both current operational requirements and planned capacity growth without structural modifications.

  • Design and deployment of a data center / computer room within a highly constrained physical space
  • Implementation of high-availability in-row / IT cooling with rotation
  • Environmental configuration adapted to coastal climate conditions
  • Integration of monitoring and physical security systems
  • Provision for future expansion of an additional 4 IT racks
  • UPS: 3× 20 kVA in N+1 configuration, with battery rack and 32 VRLA batteries (26 Ah per cell)
  • Cooling: 3 IT cooling units rated at 12.5 kW, deployed in 2+1 configuration with rotation, including heater and wet film humidifier
  • DCIM: Huawei ECC800-Pro, providing centralized monitoring of power, cooling, environmental sensors and alarms
  • Physical Security: Face recognition for key-less door access, fully integrated access control and CCTV
  • Racks: 4 IT racks installed, with expansion capability up to 8 IT racks without any room modification
