The rapid growth of AI compute demand is forcing data centers to redesign cabinet power capacity, adopt advanced cooling solutions such as liquid cooling, and re‑evaluate space density and construction timelines to meet the high‑density, high‑power needs of modern AI workloads.
Bilibili’s SYS team is advancing green data‑center technology by aligning with national energy‑efficiency mandates, co‑authoring cold‑plate liquid‑cooling standards, and piloting the custom R2‑AZ2 Innovation Room Phase‑1, which combines indirect evaporative and magnetic‑levitation hybrid cooling to achieve PUEs as low as 1.13 while testing AI‑driven O&M tools for future large‑scale, low‑carbon deployment.
This article explains how UCloud reduced its data center Power Usage Effectiveness to around 1.3 through advanced cooling technologies, energy‑efficient UPS, modeling, and other green measures, while also reviewing international benchmarks and China’s regulatory targets for sustainable data centers.
A four‑hour Cloudflare outage was triggered by an unauthorized cable removal during a planned maintenance, compounded by unclear instructions and unlabeled wiring, highlighting the need for better cable management, clear operational procedures, and robust single‑point‑of‑failure mitigation.
This article outlines Minsheng Bank’s evolution of event‑management practices—from early ITIL‑based coarse control to refined, automated processes—detailing the “double‑ten” recovery goal, multi‑dimensional tool support, KPI framework, and closed‑loop management that ensure rapid, reliable data‑center operations.
When a data center experiences sluggish network speeds despite connectivity, a systematic approach—checking device CPU usage, reviewing logs, using ping, verifying duplex settings, inspecting cables and modules, monitoring port status, conducting comparative tests, and scanning for malware—can pinpoint and resolve the underlying issues.
