Growth through RELIABLE operations supported by EcoStruxure

The Challenge

• For continued growth, consistency is a must for everything from utility entrance to rack power distribution to 24/7 capacity and support across sites.
• China’s data center industry growth rate far exceeds the global average, but providing ample, quality cloud computing resources and networks to reach new demands remain a challenge.
• China Unicom’s competitive advantages are great, but must be maintained by focusing on improvements to infrastructure support, supply chain, business models and IT infrastructure operations.
• Critical facility operations at China Unicom's super sites must achieve zero interruption for users’ key workloads.

The Solution
