Home Data Center Facility & Critical Power Finance

Trends

Finance industry trends

The finance industry is quickly transforming, powered by the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, Internet of Things (IoT), and AI. FinTech is reshaping all service processes, bringing users an all-new service experience.

Data centers are playing an increasingly important role as the foundation for the industry’s digital transformation. They serve as:

A highly available and secure production center that ensures service continuity

A sustainable development center that meets energy efficiency requirements

A value creation center that has shifted from O&M to operations

An innovation center that uses new ICTs for intelligent management

Application Scenarios

Headquarters Data Center

Headquarters data centers carry the core banking services.

Regional/Campus Data Center

Regional/Campus data centers are the information hubs for regional banking services.

Branch Data Center

Smart banking facilities are becoming customer service experience centers.

Challenges

Security and reliability

Data center facilities are critical to data security, and service continuity is a top priority for finance.

Carbon neutrality

Government policies promote green data center development, which will be key for green finance.

Complex construction and O&M

Services are centralized and the amount of data is growing exponentially. Financial data centers are now larger and use more complex devices, making O&M management difficult.

Lack of flexibility

Large data centers are planned and built in one go. As such, they cannot support flexible deployment. Neither can they evolve along with the next generations of IT devices.
