Special repair response for IT equipment damaged by the Noto Peninsula earthquake in the 6th year of Reiwa.

Trading company customer case: Uncertainty about the transition to the next system... alleviating such concerns.

The target devices are Hitachi rack servers HA8000/RS220AN1 and RS110AM1, which were released in 2014. Their maintenance has already expired, and the transition to the next system is still undecided, so we have to continue operating without maintenance until then. In the case of "interim maintenance" (third-party maintenance), we procure the same devices used by the customer from domestic and international partner companies and stock them as dedicated maintenance parts at the nearest base. (In this case, they are managed at the Hokuriku Technical Center.) ■ Issues - Although we had prepared alternative servers in-house, they were different in specifications and models, which caused concerns. ■ Results - Since the entire set of devices is stored, we can quickly power them on in the event of a failure, inspect the maintenance parts, and rush to the site.

Japan is one of the top 10 countries in the world with frequent earthquakes. The 2020 White Paper on Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has also reported an increase in the probability of major earthquakes occurring. Regarding the Nankai Trough earthquake, the probability of an earthquake with a magnitude of 8 to 9 occurring within the next 30 years is estimated to be 70 to 80%. At Hotron, we recommend the introduction of seismic devices for earthquake countermeasures in buildings and equipment. The seismic device 'HK-2' is a product that automatically performs various controls that have been pre-set when it detects strong shaking equivalent to a seismic intensity of 5 lower or higher. For example, it can automatically execute actions such as: "Open automatic doors and gates to secure evacuation routes and access for emergency vehicles" "Transmit signals to the control room and stop facility equipment" "Unlock the keys to locked lockers" "Automatically play voice guidance" For more details, please download the materials or contact us.
