Huawei FusionDC Leads Globally

Recently, Omdia, the reputable international research agency,
released the report on 2019 Global Prefabricated Modular Data
Center Market. According to the report, Huawei prefabricated
modular data center solution ranks the world’s No. 1 with a
market share of 31%. Huawei has been leading the market for six
years consecutively. As the leader in the market of prefabricated
modular data center, Huawei keeps developing innovative
solution. Huawei FusionDC, the new generation of prefabricated
modular data center solution, innovatively integrates advanced
technologies across several domain, like prefabricated modular
building, AI, smart power, smart cooling and full-lifecycle digital
management. FusionDC will help customer build future-proof data
center facilities. FusionDC adapts fully modular design and have
all modules prefabricated in the factory. It enables Lego-like fast
construction and minimize on-site job. The solution only takes 6
months to deploy a 1000-cabinet Tier III data center and shorten
TTM by at least 50%. With "One-layer One-DC" architecture,
Huawei FusionDC supports flexible power density upgrade and
vertical capacity expansion. The highly scalable architecture help
