“We are glad that we are joining forces with various entities to showcase our successful case study that is related to the energy sector in the Egyptian market. We also managed to offer Huawei FusionModule2000 solution, which is a new generation of smart modular data centre dedicated to provide customers with simple, efficient, and reliable data centre solutions and is awarded the world's first "Uptime Tier IV Ready" certification and meets the highest availability requirements,” said Liang.

He added that it is a modular-designed, highly integrated solution which comprises power supply system, cooling system, rack and structure system, cabling system, management system within a module, meeting the requirements for quick delivery and on-demand deployment.
