SSE Jin Qiao Data Center: Exploring Green Finance with iCooling@AI

The financial industry is undergoing significant disruptions driven by emerging technologies like 5G, cloud computing, and big data. To align with China’s “dual-carbon” goal and reduce environmental impact, the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) built the Jin Qiao Data Center, Asia’s most energy-efficient data center in the financial sector.

Efficient cooling is crucial for a green data center. The Jin Qiao data center, serving as the SSE’s main operations center, houses 186,000 racks and consumes over 120 million kWh of electricity annually. To improve energy efficiency, the SSE selected Huawei’s iCooling@AI solution, which uses AI algorithms to optimize cooling operations based on real-time data, climate conditions, and IT loads. This smart cooling technology reduces the power usage effectiveness (PUE) by 13% annually, contributing to significant energy savings.

iCooling@AI enables visualization of cooling links, equipment connections, and transforms manual adjustments into intelligent collaboration. By integrating iCooling@AI into the Jin Qiao Data Center, Huawei and SSE have successfully decreased the annual average PUE by 13%. This achievement was recognized with the National Cloud Computing Center Science and Technology Award.

The Jin Qiao Data Center is Huawei’s first endeavor to integrate iCooling@AI into a hyper-scale data center in the financial sector. Moving forward, Huawei aims to collaborate with the Shanghai Stock Exchange to build a green and low-carbon data center model for the financial industry, contributing to sustainable and green finance.

Huawei and CloudExchange team up to build Africa’s first Uptime Institute Tier IV data center in Nigeria

Nigeria, the most populous country in Africa, has experienced steady economic growth over the past two decades and currently boasts the largest economy on the continent. With a staggering 90 million internet users, Nigeria has the highest number of African internet users and is ranked tenth globally. The Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry is a major contributor to Nigeria’s strong economic growth and has facilitated the rapid development of various industries such as e-commerce, online banking, and digital government.

The burgeoning digital economy has also given rise to the development of data center infrastructure in the country. According to Xalam research, Internet Data Center (IDC) capacity in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) was recorded at 230 MW in 2020, with an average annual growth rate of 30% over five consecutive years. Capacity is projected to increase to anywhere between 350–450 MW by 2024. This remarkable potential has attracted enterprises to invest in IDCs and build large-scale data centers in Nigeria.

CloudExchange, a leading system integrator in West Africa, recognized the tremendous market potential and decided to enter the IDC market. As a new entrant, CloudExchange needed to differentiate itself and establish a foothold in a fiercely competitive environment. To stand out, the company partnered with Huawei to offer superior IDC services with faster response times to requirements, more flexible capacity expansion, and more reliable data centers overall.

To speed up the construction process, CloudExchange chose a Huawei prefabricated modular data center solution. With most devices pre-installed and pre-tested in the factory, the data center only needs to be hoisted onsite, reducing the construction period of the entire project to just seven months. The Huawei FusionDC solution also supports online capacity expansion, with each layer functioning as an independent data center unit, allowing for quick and interruption-free capacity expansion.

CloudExchange’s new data center is the first Uptime Institute Tier IV prefabricated data center in Africa, which means it offers ultra-reliable uptime. Huawei worked closely with CloudExchange to deploy dual-socket diesel generators, dual-fuel tanks, and equipment rooms in a limited space, maximizing space utilization and gaining Uptime Institute Tier IV certification in a significantly streamlined process.

Glad Dibetso, CEO of CloudExchange, expressed his satisfaction with the fruitful partnership with Huawei, saying that their cooperation has quickly obtained market recognition and certification from the Uptime Institute. He hopes that their project will continue to boost ICT industry development in West Africa and propel the ongoing rise of the entire continent.

How Huawei Cloud improves its PUE to be a green data center

The Gui’an Huawei Cloud Data Center is the world’s largest Huawei Cloud data center with an operational capacity of over 1 million servers. It serves as a key facility for Huawei Cloud, Huawei BP&IT and consumer cloud services. Located in Gui’an New District, Guizhou Province, construction began in August 2017 and it is one of two main Huawei Cloud data centers in China.

The phase 1 construction area covers approximately 480,000 square meters and is divided into three subareas. All 51 buildings in phase 1 have been completed with nine being used as the data center facility and the rest as auxiliary facilities.

Huawei Cloud’s Gui’an data center is designed with green and intelligent technologies to reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions. With a PUE of 1.12, it is one of the most efficient in the industry.

Some of the measures taken include:

  • using direct ventilation for natural cooling,
  • developing a medium-temperature chilled water system that reuses waste heat,
  • introducing liquid cooling technology to increase efficiency and reduce PUE,
  • applying AI to balance loads among servers and increase resource utilization, and
  • replacing copper components with power semiconductors to reduce power loss.

When operating at full capacity, the data center is expected to save 1.01 billion kWh of electricity per year and offset more than 810,000 tons of carbon emissions.
