Digital transformation has become an essential part of the business agenda of many enterprises. Data centres, which play a major role in the process, are witnessing vast upgrades with increasing importance for the success of these organisations.

However, with rapid growth in both the number and scale of data centres, IT leaders planning and managing the facilities, as well as working to reduce power consumption, face pressing challenges – traditional operation and maintenance (O&M) can no longer solve these issues like before.

Currently, large data centres are operated and maintained manually. While the process requires highly skilled personnel, it is usually not as efficient as needed to meet with fast-changing markets. According a Huawei survey, about 38% of data centres fail to recruit suitable engineers. The Uptime Institute Global Data Centre Survey 2020 also indicates that 75% of operators admit that they are at fault for most outages – most of these outages could have been prevented with proper O&M. The figures show that efficient O&M and better human resources allocations, though challenging, can help ensure smooth and reliable data centre operations.

A server is a high-performance computer that provides external services in a network environment. To provide quality services, servers need to deliver and maintain high performance for a long time using effective management. Currently, most mainstream servers run on the x86 architecture, but more people are realizing that a single architecture fails to meet today’s soaring computing requirements. With more enterprises accelerating their digital transformation, the demand for computing power is higher than ever, and this trend is generating tremendous market activity.

According to IDC, the global market space of computing power in 2016 was 9.5 million servers, and this figure is estimated to reach 14.2 million by 2023. When tens of thousands of high-performance servers are deployed in data centers, conventional manual maintenance cannot detect and resolve issues in a timely manner. As a result, it is imperative for enterprises to achieve efficient and intelligent O&M management for their mass cloud-based services. This has impacted the server industry, which in recent years has undergone huge changes. High performance and low cost are no longer the only concerns for enterprises. Instead, enterprises are also looking to intelligent and efficient device O&M to ease pressure on O&M personnel and reduce running costs.
