Case Study: China Mobile achieves highly efficient data center operations with Huawei's modular high-density solution

China Mobile Data Center is Highly Efficient

China Mobile, the world’s largest mobile phone operator, needed to support rapid growth at its Guangzhou base with a highly efficient, high-density data center capable of handling cloud computing and virtualization. Its main challenges were ensuring sufficient power and heat dissipation for medium- and high-density blade servers while also meeting corporate goals for energy conservation, emissions reduction, and flexible expansion. Huawei was selected to address these needs with a scalable modular data center approach.

Huawei implemented a modular medium- and high-density data center solution featuring accurate air supply cabinets, hot aisle containment, in-row air conditioning, and an independent energy management system. The result was a highly efficient facility with PUE below 1.5, Tier 3-level availability, and intelligent monitoring capabilities. Huawei’s solution reduced the data center footprint by about 50%, cut build time to 14 weeks, supported on-demand expansion, and helped lower operating expenses by 30% while delivering strong ROI.
