Sustainable Development Of Clothing Industry: Informatization Is Imperative

　　 Spin clothing The industry is China's leading traditional manufacturing industry, and it is also one of the first industries to achieve marketization and full market competitiveness in China. At present, compared to other industries, the development of textile and garment industry is relatively stable: in terms of exports, according to China Customs data, 1-6 months in 2012, China's textile and clothing exports totaled 117 billion 100 million US dollars, maintaining a small positive growth. According to the statistics of China's National Bureau of statistics, the proportion of domestic textile industry's domestic sales rose to 84% in 2012 1-6. At the moment of global economic downturn, China's textile and garment industry has made remarkable achievements both in exports and domestic sales.

However, how to improve the speed of response to the market, business innovation and better integration with the global interconnected economy and so on become the important joint points for textile and garment enterprises to stand out in the industry. Vigorously promoting information technology, mining business data value or will become a booster of enterprise development. Now, more and more textile and garment enterprises begin to change their thinking mode. They focus not only on the production and marketing aspects of business growth, but also on the priority of IT development as the scale of enterprises expands. Strong IT support has become the key to help improve business efficiency and strengthen the management of supply chain, backstage office workers and materials.

"The pace of informatization is always following the business, and the demand is always ahead. We need to find ways to meet these business development needs." Chen Zhiyong, chief information officer of Fujian seven wolves industrial Limited by Share Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "seven wolves") said. In response to the increasing demand for IT support and the sustainable development of group business, the seven wolves group has made an important strategic move -- building a new large data center in Xiamen, and deploying the InfraStruxtureTM solution of Schneider electric at the physical infrastructure level to fully deploy the green data center with high efficiency, energy saving and support for cloud computing.

　　 Deploying physical infrastructure in an integrated and forward-looking manner

The new seven wolf group data center is located in Guanyin Mountain commercial center in Xiamen, covering an area of about 500 square meters. As the deployment of the data center will directly affect the operation of the information network of the whole seven wolves group, there are stringent requirements in data center UPS, power supply system, refrigeration system, visual remote, security system and data center cabinet selection. "We have nearly 4000 stores in the country, and the opportunity of computer room directly affects customers. In the past, the computer room was relatively small, reliability and safety were not enough, power failure and UPS stop occurred frequently, which made us headache. Therefore, the stability, reliability and redundancy of data centers is our first consideration. " Chen Zhiyong said.

After fully understanding customer needs and pain points, Schneider electric based on its industry-leading British flying solution InfraStruxtureTM, designed seven smart wolves to build intelligent, energy-efficient and forward-looking data center physical infrastructure, including refrigeration system, UPS, cabinet and cabinet distribution, security monitoring, distribution system and data center operation management platform StruxureWareTM. Its modular and scalable solution can not only achieve rapid deployment, but also provide good protection for expanding the data center with the development of business in the future. In addition, Schneider electric also provides strong support for after-sales service and regular inspection.

　　 Industry efficient data center "model project"

"Xiamen data center project, we chose to cooperate with Schneider electric, not only because of more than 10 years of good cooperation, but also because of our consistency in energy efficiency, environmental protection and other concepts." Chen Zhiyong said.

As a leading enterprise in China's private textile and garment industry, the data center's planning, construction, operation and maintenance are very representative, and the industry is also at the leading level. They not only focus on the role of data centers in promoting the development of enterprises, but also have deep insight into environmental protection concepts. Chen Zhiyong said: "one of the business management concepts of the seven wolves group is energy conservation and environmental protection. This is not only our consideration for cost control, but also our customers' very important place. It is also a part of corporate social responsibility of the seven wolf group."

With the completion of the new data center, not only can we reduce the maintenance cost and improve the operational efficiency of enterprises, but also will become the driving force for the next 3 to 5 years in the future.

　 Perfect support for cloud computing's Green Data Center

"We belong to the traditional manufacturing industry. Now the rapid development of business needs strong IT support, which depends on the integration of new IT technologies, such as virtualization, client optimization, server integration and other cloud computing services. To achieve efficient office, efficient production, efficient sales and efficient service is the expected goal of the seven wolf data center, but it will also lead to high density signs in the data center. Chen Zhiyong further emphasized.

Thanks to the support of Schneider electric InfraStruxtureTM Ying Fei integrated system solution for dynamic load density, the new data center meets the needs of cloud computing, and can provide cloud computing services for seven wolves and information service group customers. It can also provide cloud computing and hosting services for other enterprises in order to ensure the demand for self use.

　　 Focus on business and drive the future.

With the seven wolf data center officially put into operation, officially marked the seven wolf led private enterprise officially entered the cloud era. The core of its data center infrastructure will provide the safest and most reliable guarantee for cloud computing. The integrated system solution helps customers quickly build an information platform based on business needs and support their business in a fast, efficient, secure and sustainable way.
