6. Cost of Downtime
ƒ
The Mission Critical Site is the foundation of every IT-Infrastructure
and therefore business
ƒ
Failing to address this could lead to serious losses

7. Tier Considerations
– Best practices / “semi-standards”
• Uptime Institute guidelines
• ANSI/TIA-942 (telecom infrastructure for data centres)
• SS507 (Information and communications technology disaster recovery services)
• ISO/IEC-24762 (International guideline for BC/DR)
• Vendor Specific (SUN, IBM, HP, APC and others)
– Other organizations are working on potential new standards such as energy
efficiency for data center's etc.

8. Tier Considerations
• Tier-1 Data Centre; Basic
– Single path for power and cooling without redundancy. Many single points of failure
• Tier-2 Data Centre; Redundant Components
– Single path for power and cooling with component redundancy i.e. N+1.
• Tier-3 Data Centre; Concurrently Maintainable
– Multiple paths for power and cooling of which one is active allowing maintenance
or testing on one path without causing interruption to the critical load
• Tier-4 Data Centre; Fault Tolerant
– Multiple active paths for power and cooling with redundancy in each path

9. TIA-942 Tier Considerations
Data Center Tier level is NOT only defined by power and cooling supply only
• There are four main categories to assess
– Architectural
• 23 sub categories
• 104 criteria
– Electrical
• 24 sub categories
• 69 criteria
– Mechanical
• 10 sub categories
• 35 criteria
– Telecom
• 1 sub category
• 12 criteria

Data Center Power System

43. Data Center power modularity
Uninterrupted power supply ( UPS )
• Two main type of UPS technologies are used in data
center environments
• Static UPS
– Build up out of electronic components such as rectifier,
inverter, control logic and batteries
• Dynamic UPS
– Build up out of mechanical components such as diesel
engine, power generator and flywheel (kinetic storage)

44. Data Center power modularity
Static UPS
• Relative complex power and control electronics
• Requires a controlled environment
• Requires batteries
– Need to be replaced typically every 3-4 years for 5- year design life and every
7-8 years for 10-year design life
– Chemical waste
– Unknown cost factor (SLA batteries price increased 30-50% over the last few years
due to lead pricing)
• One of the oldest UPS technologies used for data center environments
• Available in 500VA – 800kVA in single systems

45. Data Center power modularity
Dynamic UPS
• Only available in higher kVA ratings 600kVA – 3,000kVA
• Heavy (e.g. 600kVA could weigh approx. 8 Ton)
• More noisy
• Relative simple design setup
• No need for batteries
• No need for controlled environment
• Long life span
• Good efficiency

46. Data Center power modularity
Static UPS Technology

– Cost effective installation and maintenance
• Not allowed to be used in most countries in occupied areas

52. Data Center Fire Suppression System
Fire Suppression
• FM200 (HFC-227)
– Not harmful to humans in itself
• Harmful gas will develop when FM200 is “burned”
– Advisable to leave area when FM is released
– Gas not clear during discharge
– Tanks should be reasonably close to data center
– Leaves no residue
– Takes up the least amount of space, next to Halon
– Widely used in data centers
– Some countries do not allow, or restrict, the usage of FM200 such as Denmark,
Iceland, Switzerland etc.
– Under review in other countries

53. Data Center Fire Suppression System
Fire Suppression
• Inergen (IG-541)
– Composed completely of naturally reoccurring gases.
– Not harmful to humans
– Clear during discharge
– In-expensive to recharge
– Very high pressure gas
– Pressure valves need to be installed in room
– Large storage required (approx. 10x )
– Tanks can be far away from computer room
– Allows for zoning

54. Data Center Fire Suppression System
Fire Suppression
• Argonite – IG55
– Environmental neutral
– Not harmful for humans (limited time exposure)
– Reduces oxygen levels down to approx. 12.5%
– Relatively fast acting
– Relatively in-expensive

– Not harmful to humans in itself but toxic byproduct

57. Data Center Fire Prevention System
Eliminate the risk of fire to start
™
Fire prevention system
offers active fire prevention. The oxygen content of a room is controlled
using a patented conditioning technology. The reduction is so precise
that in a given room a fire cannot start yet people can continue to be
present without any side effects. This oxygen reduction is aided by
nitrogen, which is generated from normal atmospheric air.

58. Data Center Fire Prevention System
A New Dimension in Smoke Detection
TITANUS systems have been developed from the very successful TITANUS
range.
TITANUS has been developed as a simple and low cost air sampling system
replacing point smoke detectors where;
o access is likely to be a problem
o demanding aesthetics require no ceiling accessories
o the risk environment is too harsh
A new and high power LED light source means the system sensitivity can also
be increased to protect smaller EDP applications. To maximize flexibility the
system is available with either one or two detector modules.
High Sensitivity
TITANUS has excellent response behaviour to all EN54 test fires. Depending
on application a high sensitivity of up to 0.05 % /m light obscuration can be
set. This sensitivity level is capable of providing early warning in smaller EDP
applications.
