About this award
Winner : Uinnova
Visualized Management of Data Center
Sponsor
Behind every definitive product or solution is a great
idea and this Award is about recognising the innovation
and thinking that is shaping the next generation of
cutting edge data center solutions. With the challenges
confronting the industry now moving quicker and hitting harder than ever before so the solutions developed in response
need to raise the bar continually in terms of innovation, ease of deployment and ‘real world’ application. All our previous
winners demonstrate more than anything the power that creative and focused thinking can have in developing solutions
that will make a real and positive difference to data center operation and management.
This Data Center Visualizer system leverages the leading 3D visualization technology
to provide end-to-end visibility for Data Center has been rapidly deployed in many Data
Centers around China after launch by uinnova in September of 2012.
Special challenges on information visualization (as founded by the team of uinnova):
-Complex, multi-system management, each system has its own interface, lack of an integrated view undermines speed
and quality of systems management.
-Current UIs are complex and not engaging, reducing the speed of response and quality of decision-making.
To solve these problems for large Data Centers, uinnova has designed and launched the new creative Data Center
Visualization methodology to visualize all the information of Data Centers and the management system.
The DCV-Data Center Visualizer is the only visualization tool in the world to visualize not only the physical environment,
but also the logical part of Data Centers, such as VM, OS, Databases, Applications, and even the data flow and
transactions.
With the innovative 3D technology, DCV consolidates all the management information from different operation teams
and different Data Center management tools, providing the incredible visibility of Data Center infrastructure and
operation status.
The Data Center Visualizer was accepted by the market almost immediately. Since then, several major Data Center
General contractors and IT management software vendors have integrated the DCV into their Data Center solutions and
built a partnership with uinnova. In the past one and a half years, many large data centers have used DCV technology to
enhance the Data Center management, including CCB, BOC, PetroChina, PICC, and ChinaUnicom.
The Data Center Visualizer integrates with all existing Data Center management systems, providing end-to-end
visibility for Data Center managers, simplifying management, improving efficiency, bringing the true value to Data
Center operation, and even presenting an innovative way for business owners to introduce and promote Data Centers
by highlighting their specific advantages. Besides that, many DCV users have requested that uinnova develop more
functions so that they can expand the benefits from visualization to more areas of Data Center management. Currently,
uinnova is collaborating with customers to create these new features that will cause Data Centers to be easier to see,
understand, and manage.
With the growing awareness of DCIM,
and an increasing acceptance that IT and
facility infrastructure needs to be managed
as a single environment, a huge amount
of data is becoming available to the Data
Centre Manager. Understanding and using
this data is a key challenge. This entry
demonstrates a novel and powerful way of
turning this deluge of data into knowledge
that can be readily assimilated and acted
upon.

The increasing need for organisations to look more
closely at which parts of their IT they need to keep in-
house and which parts they can outsource has combined
with advances in both facility design and cloud-based
technologies to revolutionise outsourcing services. While every organisation will have a different opinion based on
its own evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing, providers across the outsourcing spectrum have
developed new models to meet the growth in demand. As IT reliance grows in both the enterprise and public sectors
so do the demands made on outsourcing products and services, from those offering one-stop collocation services, to
those offering hosting, managed service or cloud-based operations. This Award seeks to underline the importance of
the cluster of services that constitute the outsourcing sector not just in offering space, facility or management options to
clients but in advancing outsourcing services through the understanding of market business requirements, their ability to
present the best business case for outsourcing and through the development of services that meet the expectations that
clients have of outsourcing services.

05-THE 'GREEN' DATA CENTER
The motivation behind the ‘green’ data center needs little introduction. The ‘perfect storm’ of energy scarcity, energy
cost, legislation and the need for strong, corporate leadership have accelerated the drive towards sustainability in the
data center. So pervasive is the combined influence of these and associated factors on the data center industry that
among the 200+ project entries made into these Awards since 2007 the number not citing its influence can be counted
on the fingers of one hand. This Award will recognise the reality of designing and operating data centers in the context
of environmental scrutiny and to celebrate the success of those who have managed to balance their established
responsibilities in providing a resilient and responsive facility with the consideration of wider corporate, sustainability
and environmental responsibility. Those, in short, who have seen increasing pressures of power costs, regulation,
community and environmental responsibility as an opportunity rather than a problem and have demonstrated their vision
of sustainability as a critical driver in the design and operation of their data facilities.

mobile, to billions of end-user. You are, Very likely, one of them.
‘People’ have long been the silent asset of the
data center. Now that is changing, as all elements
of opportunity and risk within the data center are
scrutinized more closely. All of what happens inside the data center depends directly or indirectly upon the people
charged with design, operation and management and since the data center professional is rarely working in isolation,
this places an added premium upon the capability of the data center operator to develop, manage and motivate effective
teams to carry the operation forward. This Award seeks to recognise team achievement where the team has been
convened for a special purpose or task above and beyond everyday duties. This may be at any stage of the ‘strategizing’,
design, construction, fit out, operation, refit or decommissioning of a data center just so long as it represents a ‘special
assignment or series of activities’ in the life of the data center.
This is a milestone project
for Chinese internet users
and will provide insight
for other similar projects.
In the future, we are
expected to see more
such projects in China’s
IDC industry.
