PROSE MDC and Structured Cabling for semiconductor industry
Background
Micro Data Center and Structured Cabling System in Semiconductor Manufacturing
In the highly competitive and technologically advanced semiconductor industry, the reliability and efficiency of IT infrastructure are paramount. A leading semiconductor manufacturing company decided to implement Micro Data Center (MDC) and Structured Cabling System to enhance its IT capabilities which need to support real-time data processing, high-speed communication, and stringent security measures to ensure the smooth operation of the fabs.
Challenge
(1) Reliability: Existing IT infrastructure was prone to downtime, which could severely impact production schedules.
(2) Security: Sensitive intellectual property and production data protect from cyber threats.
(3) Scalability: Rapid expansion required a flexible IT infrastructure that could scale easily.
(4) Efficiency: Reduce energy consumption and improve the overall efficiency of IT operations are critical.
(5) Cabling: Existing cabling system was inefficient, causing signal drop and M&O issues.
Solutions
A Micro Data Center (MDC) and a Structured Cabling solution from RPOSE was implemented by the company to address these challenges.
The key components and functions of the solution include:
(1) Quick Deployment: Field installation less than one hour.
(2) Power and Cooling: Efficient power distribution units (PDUs) and cooling systems to maintain optimal operating conditions and reduce energy consumption. PUE≤1.26.
(3) Security: Robust physical and security measures, including intrusion detection systems, and biometric access controls. System emergency response protection.
(4) Remote Management: Integrated DCIM 24H Cloud O&M for remote monitoring and maintenance.
Benefits
