The new data center is set to help Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company to process massive volume of industrial data
Huawei and the Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company, a producer of oil and gas from the offshore areas of the United Arab Emirates capital, officially inaugurated the ADMA-OPCO’s cloud-ready data center.
The new facility, which is already fully operational, is designed to help the Middle East oil firm address the needs of long-distance transmission and processing of data during offshore oil exploration and production. The cloud-ready platform is also said to enhance the security of business data and applications for the firm.
ADMA-OPCO plans to upgrade its three data centers into a future-oriented cloud data center by integrating existing IT systems.
Huawei said it helped ADMA-OPCO construct a cloud data center based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library standards, which integrates core architectures to implement a centralized management of both cloud and noncloud data centers.
The Chinese vendor said the facility features centralized IT resources; as well as collaborative management of blade servers, and storage and network equipment; and automatic provisioning of computing resources and scalable cloud data services required to support future-proof capacity expansion.
“The cloud-ready data center we built with Huawei supports seamless integration with our existing infrastructure, which maximizes our IT operation efficiency, optimizes IT resource management and boosts IT resource utilization,” said ADMA-OPCO CIO Alaeddin Al-Badawna. “We are expected to see a 30% drop in the operation and maintenance costs of the data center. Virtualization-based cloud computing can ensure high service continuity and greatly facilitate our business expansion.”
The executive also said Huawei’s geographic disaster redundancy technology provides enhanced security for the oil firm’s key business data and applications.
ZTE launches next-generation green data center
ZTE announced the launch of its next-generation green data center Zego, with the aim of decreasing the total cost of ownership and improving internet data center efficiency for global customers.
ZTE said Zego can be delivered as standard plug-and-play modules, and that the power supply system and cooling system can also be installed as modules. The Chinese firm said Zego’s standardized, prefabricated and integrated IDC power supply and cooling modules reduce deployment time by 60% compared to traditional IDC systems.
ZTE entered the IDC industry in 2012, and currently provides services to approximately 200 firms globally.
