El recorrido virtual del centro de datos de Microsoft abre una puerta a la nube

Por: Omar Khan, vicepresidente de marketing de infraestructura de Azure.

Imaginen entrar en un ámbito en el que la nube se encuentra con la tecnología de vanguardia, para revelar el funcionamiento interno de los servidores, los cables de red de fibra óptica, las operaciones, los edificios físicos de los centros de datos y la infraestructura de IA más avanzada. Se trata del Virtual Datacenter Tour de Microsoft, donde los clientes pueden explorar la infraestructura y el diseño del centro de datos que impulsa más de 60 regiones de centros de datos y más de 300 centros de datos en todo el mundo. Además de la escala y amplitud de nuestra infraestructura en la nube, los clientes podrán interpretar su propia percepción detrás de lo que hace que nuestra infraestructura en la nube sea confiable, sostenible, confiable e innovadora.

Entonces, ¿qué son los centros de datos?

Los centros de datos proporcionan la infraestructura para la tecnología en la que confiamos en nuestra vida diaria, desde la banca en línea y el trabajo remoto hasta las videollamadas y las redes sociales. Impulsan la nube, lo que nos permite almacenar archivos, unirnos a reuniones, acceder a datos críticos de atención médica o financieros y trabajar en documentos desde cualquier lugar y en cualquier dispositivo. La nube es una red interconectada a nivel global de millones de computadoras en centros de datos de todo el mundo que trabajan juntas para almacenar y administrar datos, ejecutar aplicaciones y entregar contenido y servicios.

Los centros de datos de Microsoft albergan miles de servidores, que trabajan día y noche para garantizar que su información esté siempre disponible. Incluso durante eventos inesperados, técnicos calificados mantienen las operaciones con sistemas de respaldo y redundancia. Nuestra extensa red de centros de datos seguros en docenas de países garantiza que los servicios estén cerca de donde ustees acceden a la nube, y nuestra presencia continúa su crecimiento para satisfacer la demanda de los clientes. Obtengan más información sobre cómo los centros de datos de Microsoft impulsan nuestra vida diaria.

¿Cómo puedo recorrer un centro de datos de Microsoft?

Nos gustaría poder invitar a todos nuestros clientes a visitar una de nuestras regiones de centros de datos, pero esto presenta problemas prohibitivos de seguridad, protección y personal. En su lugar, decidimos que les llevaríamos nuestro centro de datos. El recorrido les permite ir y venir con flexibilidad.

Nuestro recorrido virtual por  el centro de datos es un micrositio que ofrece un viaje virtual autoguiado inmersivo en 3 dimensiones que les permitirá interactuar con los centros de datos de Microsoft de primera mano. Los visitantes virtuales aprenderán sobre la infraestructura necesaria para diseñar, construir y operar nuestros centros de datos, la energía renovable que los alimenta y el hardware y software que mantienen los datos seguros.

Un punto culminante del recorrido ofrece una visión del futuro del cómputo en la nube. La sala de innovación de nuestro recorrido virtual por el centro de datos les permite explorar innovaciones recientes como el diseño del centro de datos de refrigeración sin agua de Microsoft, que elimina el uso de agua en la refrigeración del centro de datos mediante tecnologías avanzadas, y Majorana 1, el primer chip cuántico del mundo impulsado por un núcleo topológico.

Este recorrido ofrece un adelanto de cómo Microsoft permite a millones de clientes ejecutar cargas de trabajo críticas y avanzadas, incluidas la IA y la computación cuántica, al tiempo que allana el camino para futuras innovaciones. Los visitantes pueden realizar el recorrido a través de una computadora personal o un dispositivo móvil.

Den un paseo por la nube con nosotros

Mejoramos de manera continua el recorrido virtual por el centro de datos con nuevas salas, contenido y experiencias para mejorar cada visita virtual.

En primer lugar, nos complace anunciar la integración de un asistente virtual impulsado por el servicio Azure Open AI, diseñado para responder a las muchas preguntas que puedan tener. A medida que caminan por el centro de datos, serán recibidos por un asistente de IA que ofrecerá soporte en tiempo real durante su recorrido, para responder preguntas específicas del centro de datos y ofrecer información detallada sobre las operaciones de nuestro centro de datos. Ya sea que estén interesados en nuestras prácticas de sostenibilidad de la infraestructura en la nube de Microsoft, tecnologías de enfriamiento de aire, seguridad del centro de datos, capacidades de resiliencia o el alcance global de nuestros centros de datos, nuestro asistente de IA está aquí para guiarlos en cada paso del camino.

Exploren la sala de servidores y obtengan información sobre nuestro hardware más reciente, incluido Azure Cobalt, nuestras ofertas internas de computación general que impulsan la CPU, y Azure Maia, nuestro acelerador de IA personalizado optimizado para cargas de trabajo de IA. También tenemos asociaciones de larga data con líderes del sector como NVIDIA, AMD e Intel para garantizar que haya un conjunto diverso de hardware disponible en Azure. Esto nos permite ofrecer a nuestros clientes la combinación adecuada de rendimiento, eficiencia y coste.

Una novedad en nuestra sala de servidores es nuestra experiencia de pasillo caliente. El diseño del pasillo caliente del centro de datos de Microsoft optimiza la eficiencia de enfriamiento al aislar el aire caliente de los servidores en un solo pasillo dedicado, lo que garantiza el máximo rendimiento y ahorro de energía. A más de 100 grados, el aislamiento único del aire caliente garantiza una temperatura constante, aumenta la eficiencia del enfriamiento, reduce el consumo de energía y reduce los costos operativos. Descubran cómo gestionamos una temperatura constante en nuestra sala de servidores al expulsar, e incluso reutilizar, el calor generado por estos servidores.

Si salen al área mecánica, se encontrarán con una amplia gama de tecnologías de energía y enfriamiento para centros de datos diseñadas por Microsoft. Desde el exterior, también verá una serie de equipos eléctricos, como baterías y generadores de respaldo, necesarios para alimentar el centro de datos en caso de un corte de energía. Las baterías y los generadores desempeñan un papel clave para permitirnos ofrecer la continuidad del servicio. Por cada megavatio de capacidad del centro de datos, por lo general tenemos poco más de un megavatio de respaldo de batería y respaldo de generador para asegurarnos de que los centros de datos puedan cumplir con nuestros niveles de servicio y confiabilidad operativa. A largo plazo, el objetivo de Microsoft es utilizar más combustibles bajos en carbono, baterías o incluso pilas de combustible de hidrógeno para generadores de respaldo.

En el exterior, también aprenderán cómo enfriamos nuestro centro de datos para garantizar la fiabilidad del hardware que se ejecuta en su interior. Si hace demasiado calor en el interior, los servidores pueden empezar a fallar. Para evitar que esto suceda, utilizamos enfriamiento adiabático y enfriamiento por aire libre. El enfriamiento adiabático y el enfriamiento por aire libre son métodos de una alta eficiencia para enfriar los centros de datos. El enfriamiento adiabático utiliza la evaporación del agua en lugar del aire acondicionado mecánico, mientras que el enfriamiento por aire libre aprovecha los elementos climáticos naturales para controlar la temperatura. Ambos métodos reducen de manera significativa el uso de agua y energía. Obtengan más información sobre la refrigeración del centro de datos moderno de Azure.
