Manufacturing factory infrastructure upgrade
IT Projects
As a global leader in energy conservation and environmental protection, the company provides mechanical and electronic products, solutions, and services to various industries. The group comprises five business units: Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Controls, Commercial Compressors, Residential Heating and Air Conditioning, District Energy, and Power Electronics. The group operates 58 facilities in 18 countries worldwide and employs approximately 23,000 people.
This project upgraded the data center architecture for production line computer rooms in Haiyan, Beijing, Anshan, and Shanghai. This project addresses the digital transformation needs of manufacturing enterprises and their requirements for low latency and high responsiveness in data centers. The customer operates a fully virtualized environment, and the production lines require 24/7 operation without downtime.

- Original architecture: Each site uses two DL380Gen9 servers and one 3PAR8200 for virtualization, and one DL380Gen9 as a data backup server;
- Upgraded architecture: Each site uses two DL380Gen10Plus servers and one NImble for virtualization, and one DL380Gen10Plus as a data backup server;

Nimble uses Triple+ Parity RAID, which provides higher data protection than the traditional RAID solution of 3PAR8200;
Both Nimble and DL380 Gen10 Plus support InfoSight, an AI-powered unified management platform that enables real-time monitoring of hardware health and performance metrics, predictive maintenance to reduce downtime, and automated performance optimization recommendations.
