    Huawei Provides Macao’s Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) with a Modern, Expandable Data Center

Background

Serving Macao’s population of 679,600

Macao’s population amounts to approximately 679,600 people on a surface area of 32.9 km2.

IAM is entrusted by the Government of the Macao Special Administrative Region, hereinafter referred to as Macao SAR, to serve the population, particularly in the fields of culture, recreation and environmental sanitation, as well as to provide advisory opinions to the Macao SAR Government.

IAM needed to build a data center in its new office to support its e-Government Cloud services, such as municipal construction, public service handling, civic education and public and media relations.

The data center is expected to meet the mainstream requirements in terms of security, reliability, flexibility and manageability, both for now and the next five years.

Challenges and Customer Needs:
Build a New Data Center to Accompany Macao’s Development

To keep up with its rapid data growth, IAM required a new data center that would meet a series of challenges such as:

1. Construction time: Building a traditional IT equipment room is complex, timeconsuming and costly. A modular equipment room solution would reduce construction time and can be easily replicated whenever necessary.

2. O&M model: Traditionally, the equipment room O&M was performed manually, which made it difficult to locate equipment malfunction, and increased labor costs. A modular equipment room solution enables an AI-powered O&M model without manual attendance.

3. Energy saving: Future equipment must be energy-saving and environment friendly

4. Service scaling: A modular design would enable scalability for more value added services and facilitate future expansion.

Huawei Solution

FusionModule 2000

FusionModule2000 is Huawei’s new generation of smart modular data center products. It has been awarded the world's first "Uptime Tier IV Ready" certification. The module comprises power, cooling, rack & cabling, and management. The structure can be single-row or dual-row, and supports both cold and hot aisle containment.

In addition, Huawei integrates AI technology into the data center, which significantly improves the reliability, availability and efficiency of the data center through iPower, iCooling and iManager.

Huawei provided IAM with a truly holistic solution that incorporates cabinets, power supply and distribution systems, cooling, equipment room management, lightning protection and grounding, fire extinguishing and integrated cabling systems. The advantages of this solution are its flexibility, manageability, reliability and high security.

Customer Benefits

1. Shorter Construction Period: Compared with a traditional IT equipment room, the modular equipment room integrates subsystems such as power supply and distribution, cooling, cabinets, air containment, integrated cabling, and dynamic environment monitoring. It shortens the construction period by 30% and increases the number of cabinets by 30%.

2. Energy Saving: The modular equipment room helps save energy consumption and reduces total cost of ownership (TCO)

3. Intelligent Management and Refined O&M: The modular data center monitors the internal environment, powers micromodule devices in real time and ensures better coordination to implement refined O&M. This results in the reduction of O&M costs and equipment failure rates

4. Easy and Flexible for future expansion
