H3C Assists the Digitalization of Malaysian Enterprises through Smart Green Technology and AI

Foreign Minister Dato' Sri Saifuddin Abdullah visited the H3C booth where Rockies Ma, General Manager of H3C Malaysia shares the company’s ability in providing digital solutions to Malaysian Enterprises.

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 8 September, 2022 — At the 2022 China Smart Industry Trade Exhibition and Forum, H3C, an industry leader in the provision of Digital Solutions, presented the importance of smart green technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the digitalization process of enterprises. The idea aims to prepare enterprises for modern demands in the modern digital economy.

As part of its smart green technology initiatives, H3C is building modular data centers, improving software-defined infrastructure (SDI), and strengthening intelligent management, operation and maintenance, among other measures, to reduce the power usage effectiveness (PUE) value of cloud data centers, making them greener and more energy efficient, thus contributing to safeguarding a better living environment.

With the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet-of-Things (IoT), cloud computing, 5G and other cutting-edge technologies, digitalization is accelerating the evolution of enterprises’ methods of operation. Digitalization has brought profound impact to every industry, and industries are confronted with the brand new challenges brought by digitalization when new technologies are advancing the industrial development. In this new era, digital solutions that integrate technological innovation, scene applications and ecology cooperation can better energize the digital economy, and create a promising and lively digital future.

It is now crucial for businesses in Malaysia to implement smart green technology as part of their operations in order to reduce the power consumption of cloud data centers to make them greener and more energy efficient, thus contributing to safeguarding a better living environment.

Modular data centers can equip each transformation module with independent power distribution and refrigeration units, simplify and speed up the construction of data centers, and achieve flexible expansion. As a result, these data centers allow businesses to improve efficiency, save more room, expand flexibly, and cut investment in server rooms and operating costs; making management more efficient and operation and maintenance less expensive.

One of the keys to building green data centers is by providing more efficient computing power and data management capabilities at lower costs and lower energy consumption. This can be achieved by transforming architectures related to computing and storage using a Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solution such as Application-Driven Networking (AD-NET) solution.

As part of AD-NET, Application-Driven Data Center (AD-DC) allows for standalone deployment and out-of-box experience, which helps with the rapid deployment of businesses’ data centers. In addition to adhering to the concepts of cloud and AI-native architecture, and open ecosystem, AD-DC is a great consideration for green and low-carbon development in a ​​data center application scenarios.

Furthermore, green technology like the 400G switch, continues to adopt the classical orthogonal CLOS architecture without central modules, can help in improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the whole data machine while cutting down energy consumption. The most amazing fact is that its single port power consumption is only 20W.

By building and adapting self-healing networks with smart technologies, businesses in Malaysia will be able to realize autonomous optimization, energy conservation and consumption reduction, and self-governance and self-healing when it comes to data management and storage; among other things. It might take a few years for Malaysia to drastically reduce its C02 emission, but with greener technologies being adapted by more businesses in the country, it is possible that we can see positive outcomes in no time.

Moving forward, Malaysia is set to play a leading role in Southeast Asia's digital advancement, as the country looks to become one of the region's hubs for data centers. Therefore, the country must ensure that its digital transformation infrastructure and networks are managed sustainably; in addition to embarking on a 5G journey with the aim of nationwide network coverage. The next era of connectivity will initiate opportunities for businesses to expand their innovation and growth that will, in return, offer better services to the public.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah spoke highly of the economic ties with China and encouraged the sharing of cutting-edge technologies between the two countries. At the opening ceremony of the 2022 China Smart Industry Trade Exhibition and Forum, Saifuddin expressed his gratitude to China for its contribution to Malaysia's economic development.

Rockies Ma, General Manager of H3C Malaysia shares that, “Through many economic collaborations between Malaysia and China, H3C is here in Malaysia to help enterprises digitalize. Through the 2022 China Smart Industry Trade Exhibition and Forum, it will open doors to many enterprises. H3C hopes to provide a comprehensive one-stop digital platform that includes cloud computing, big data, AI, industrial internet, information security, intelligent connectivity, new safety, and edge computing, as well as end-to-end technical services.”
