Project Summary: The has built a new data center to replace the currently rented third-party data center. The Immigration Department is the latest and largest IT system to migrate to a new data center. There are around 1100 IT equipment & assets and 40 racks relocated with 8 waves during July 2023 to May 2024.
项目概要:近期,某地政府建造了一个新的数据中心,以取代目前租用的第三方数据中心。移民局是迁移到新数据中心的最新客户和最大的IT系统。在2023年7月至2024年5月期间,DCSS负责了大约有1100台IT设备和资产,以及40个机架进行的8次搬迁服务,而这只是某地移民局搬迁项目的开始。
Role & Responsibility : DCSS provide resources, technical solutions, and secure transportation support for the relocation project.
职责:DCSS为搬迁项目提供资源、技术解决方案和安全的运输支持。
Project process :We start by conducting an equipment inventory, cable tracing, port mapping, labeling, and photo documentation. Once the data collection is completed, the new data center will prepare the new connections. After the new cables and power connections are implemented, we arrange for site checking and preparation before each wave of relocation.
项目流程:项目开始之后,首先,我们团队入场进行设备清点、电缆追踪、端口映射、标签和照片记录。一旦数据收集完成,新数据中心将根据我们的数据准备布线和连接方案。因此,搬迁之前的准备工作在每批次搬迁之前是一个非常重要的环节。
During the relocation, we will follow the detailed plan to pack the equipment into assigned studio boxes with unique locks. We will deploy two or three teams at the existing data centers and the destination data centers to minimize the client system downtime and ensure all HSM equipment can resume service within 2 hours.
在搬迁过程中,我们将严格按照搬迁计划,将设备装入带有独特锁的定制搬迁机箱中。将在现有数据中心和目标数据中心部署两到三个团队,以最大限度地减少客户端系统的停机时间,并确保用户的关键应用HSM设备在 2 小时内恢复对外服务。
After the relocation, we will clean up the data center, tidy up the cables, and provide engineering standby support during the user acceptance testing.
搬迁后,我们会对数据中心进行清理,整理电缆,保持数据中心环境的整洁,并在用户验收测试期间提供工程师值守支持。
Difficulties & Problems and How We Conquered Them: There are many different versions of documents between the client and their vendors. This has led to issues with the cabling plan. We provide a professional service to troubleshoot the cabling patching between equipment and the rack, as well as between racks.
困难与问题以及我们如何克服它们: 客户与各个供应商之间有许多不同版本的文档,这导致了布线计划会不停的需要变化和更新。针对这样的情况,我们对这些问题做出了管理——在设备和机架之间,以及机架之间线缆连通性进行故障排除。
Coordinating the transportation of equipment and assets to the new location posed logistical challenges. The Immigration Department has special requirements for transportation. There are 3 possible routes from the existing data center to the new data center. The commander will arrange the transportation route accordingly. We assigned two or three engineer teams between the existing and new data centers to ensure we could unmount and mount the HSM equipment within 2 hours. This was a significant challenge for the transportation logistics. We needed to thoroughly prepare to successfully fulfill the Immigration Department's request.
协调设备和资产运输到新地点,这在后勤方面给我们带来了挑战。因为移民局对运输有特殊要求。所以我们从现有数据中心到新数据中心规划了3条方案路线,用户的项目指挥人可以从其中不同的运输路线做出选择,并且我们在现有数据中心和新数据中心之间安排了两到三个工程师,以确保我们能够在 2 小时内拆卸和安装用户的核心 HSM系统设备。这对我们来说是一个重大挑战,我们需要提前做好充分准备,才能成功满足移民局的时效要求。
For the latest relocation, we need to clean up the existing data center in Falling and relocate 120 equipment and 40 racks with no cooling and PAU system environment, as the data center is ready for a rebuild. We have arranged for electrical workers to disconnect the power for all PDUs, and we have made thorough preparations to shorten the relocation period. We have provided professional services to remove the patching panels and related cables between the racks and cabling ladders.
基于移民局最新的搬迁安排,我们需要清理现有的数据中心的设备,并搬迁120台设备和40个没有冷却系统的机柜,因为该数据中心已准备好重建。我们安排了电工做好电源处理的准备工作,包括拆除机架和布线梯之间的修补板和相关电缆,以此缩短搬迁的时间。
The result we achieve :We achieved the appreciation and endorsement from the Immigration Department, Kyndryl, and HKBN. We won the contract to handle the relocation of phase 2 production equipment to the new Immigration headquarters in Tseung Kwan O. Approximately 2,300 production equipment will be relocated in 10 waves from June 2024 to May 2025.
我们取得的结果: 我们得到了最终用户某地移民局, 合作伙伴Kyndryl和HKBN的赞赏和认可。同时,作为回报,我们也赢得了第二阶段移民局生产设备搬迁到新移民局总部的合同。该合同实施时间计划从2024年6月到2025年5月,大约2300台生产设备将分10批搬迁。
