Fang Liangzhou, VP of Huawei Network Energy, said at the ceremony that, "Modular UPS is born for data centers. Modular UPS features high energy efficiency, flexible scalability, and simple O&M, which perfectly match the requirements of data centers in the cloud era. In the field of data centers, the industry focuses on improving the energy efficiency in addition to flexibly satisfying the needs of rapid service growth. Rising energy costs, intense environmental restrictions, and higher power densities are the driving force behind UPS products. The other challenge lies in how to provide users with solutions to the flexibility and scalability of data centers. Manufacturers must produce UPS products that are scalable to cater for the service growth. Due to increasing demands of modular UPS products and fierce competition, UPS providers must continue their innovations in technology to bring about advanced modular architectures and further enhance product flexibility and reliability. Huawei focuses on the modular UPS R&D and invests heavily in this regard. So far Huawei has deployed four UPS R&D centers around the world with over 300 engineers and claimed over 100 UPS patents."
Huawei's network energy product line has merged communications technology with power electronics technology to drive the continuous advancement and innovations in the Network Energy industry. The company adopted the most sophisticated topology architecture in UPS to ensure the product efficiency and reliability.
After years of continuous innovation, Huawei's Network Energy has integrated digital information technology, IoT technology, and network communications technology. Huawei's network energy product line provides end-to-end solutions covering the data center, UPS, communications energy, and smart PV plant, and has launched many products well received by the whole industry. Besides, facing the rapid IT growth, which is likely to outrun the Moore's Law, and the laggard development of the data center infrastructure, there must be a convergence of technologies across industries. By leveraging solid technical build-up in the ICT sector, Huawei will continue promoting the development of the data center infrastructure.
