Boost for Shanghai data center to keep China’s billion-plus internet users connected
An ABB case study
With over 1 billion internet users, China is the world’s No. 1 user of the web with an ever-increasing appetite for data. To keep pace, the data center industry in China has been growing rapidly, and reliability is the top priority for operators, including those behind the Shanghai Yueke Data Center, which has just had a medium- and low-voltage power distribution solution installed by ABB to keep the data flowing 24/7.
Located in the Shanghai Yueke Big Data Industrial Park, the 70,000-square-meter data center has 8,000 electrification cabinets, making it one of the biggest in the city. The Yueke Data Center provides digital services and complex computing work to large, high-profile customers including Tencent, the creator of the WeChat social media and messaging platform, and China Telecom, the seventh biggest telecom provider in the world.
