28. LeaseWeb and Huawei Join Hands to Enable Green Data Center Operation
Challenges
LeaseWeb is a leading IT hosting provider that offers IT infrastructure solutions such as dedicated servers, cloud computing, and managed hosting.
The power consumption cost of over 60,000 servers deployed globally accounts for over 12 percent of the TCO, and continues to increase.
A dedicated server product line provides highly reliable, multiple-brand servers to satisfy stringent user requirements.
Huawei's Solution
In the first phase, Huawei deployed thousands of RH1288 V2 rack servers to improve the LeaseWeb infrastructure.
Industry-leading energy efficiency: Huawei servers use Platinum PSUs with an onboard DC-to-DC conversion efficiency of 94% and Huawei's patented energy-saving technologies such as dynamic power control and power capping, which ranked No. 1 in the SPEC_Power test.
40°C ambient temperature: Using proprietary thermal technology (such as an aluminum board embedded with copper heat sinks, MIMO, and vector airflow management), Huawei servers can stably operate for a long term at an ambient temperature of 40°C.
Failure rate 15% lower than the industry average: Huawei server components use a carrier-class derating design, follow the IPD process throughout the R&D and production stages, and have been verified and optimized by a complete product testing and certification system.
"A complete test conducted by our engineering department on Huawei servers shows that these servers have good performance and high energy efficiency, and meet our customers' requirements for high-performance, dedicated servers. Apparently, Huawei attaches great importance to green technology, and has 46 percent of its human capital engaged in R&D activities."
--- René Olde Olthof, Director of Operations, LeaseWeb
Customer Benefits
Energy-efficient servers significantly reduce energy consumption cost, enabling green operation of the data center.
LeaseWeb can choose from many dedicated servers for a product portfolio of the highest quality.
Joint innovation enhances innovation capabilities.

29. CyberAgent in Japan Builds a New-Generation Internet Platform with Huawei Servers
Challenges
The power supply to each DC cabinet in the data center equipment room provides the maximum capacity of 10 kVA, which fails to meet cabinet power requirements.
Existing IT devices are deployed on the IPv6 network. Therefore, new servers added to the live network must also support the IPv6 protocol.
Services need to frequently access the background database. The storage devices, such as HDDs and SAS SSDs cannot meet I/O requirements. More-efficient storage devices are required.
Huawei's Solution
Huawei offers a solution that combines 1U 2-socket RH1288 V2 rack servers with ES3000 PCIe SSDs.
Powered by Intel E5-2630L low-power processors, the Huawei RH1288 V2 server achieves an optimum balance between power consumption and deployment density.
The RH1288 V2 supports IPv6. Its BMC management module supports IPv6 NCSI, and is therefore compatible with the O&M tools on the live network.
The high-performance ES3000 PCIe SSD provides 770,000 read IOPS. Its I/O performance test result is much higher than those of similar devices from other vendors, such as Fusion-io.
"Huawei PCIe SSDs show excellent performance in random read and write and are suitable for harsh background operating environment of gaming services. In addition, Huawei servers have been operating stably on the CyberAgent virtualization platform. We are expecting Huawei servers to sustain optimal performance in the future. Huawei's unique competitiveness in fast responses perfectly meets CyberAgent demands. Hope that we can work together to create a win-win situation."
Customer Benefits
Fewer cables: The IPv6 NCSI function requires 30% fewer cables and consumes fewer switch ports, reducing O&M workload.
Enhanced database performance: With high-IOPS ES3000 PCIe SSDs, the Ameba ranking and database query performance are improved by 35%. As a result, user experience has been greatly improved.
High density: The RH1288 V2 server reduces equipment footprint by 50% and saves energy by 10%, compared with traditional rack servers.
High reliability: The CyberAgent database has been operating stably since ES3000 PCIe SSDs were deployed.
