The document discusses the design and implementation of a data center. It outlines key phases of the data center lifecycle including design, business requirements, standards, and implementation. The design phase determines criteria like availability, scalability, capability and security. Implementation involves phases for preparation, construction, equipment setup, testing and documentation. The data center design covers electrical, mechanical, telecommunications, and architectural aspects according to industry standards.
2. Data Center Lifecycle
Design is considered to
be the most important
phase as this is where we
are going to determine
fundamental criteria of
the Data Center;
Availability, Scalability,
Capability & Security
4. TIA-942 Standard
⢠The purpose of Telecomunication Industry Association
(TIA-942) standard is to provide requirements and
guidelines for the Design and Installation of a data
center or computer room
ďTelecommunications
ďElectrical
ďArchitectural
ďMechanical
Availability Scalability Security
14. Power Supply
⢠Power components in the data center:
â Utility power source(s) and main power panel(s),
â Back-up generator
15. Mechanical Systems
⢠Temperature â 20 to 25 degrees celcius
⢠Relative humidity â 45% to 50%
⢠Bottom-to-up airflow
⢠Use cold aisle/hot aisle rack configuration
⢠Avoid air leaks in raised floor
⢠Maintain vapor barrier in parimeter,
doorway and subfloor area
16. Raised Access Floor
⢠This type of floor consists of a gridded metal framework or substructure of
adjustable-height supports (called "pedestals") that provide support for removable
(lift-able) floor panels, which are usually 2Ă2 feet or 60Ă60 cm in size.
⢠The height of the legs/pedestals is dictated by the volume of cables and other
services provided beneath, but typically arranged for a clearance of at least six
inches or 15 cm.
18. Fire Suppression
⢠Follow NFPA 75 Standard
Firewalls
⢠Sprinkler systems â both
flooded and pre-action
⢠Chemical systems:
â Novec
â FM 200
â Inergen
â Halon 1301 (no longer
recommended or in
production)
⢠Manual systems
â Manual pull stations
â Portable fire
extinguishers
20. Monitoring System
⢠Environment Monitoring in computer rooms, data centers and
other facilities has become a critical part of 'Disaster
Prevention'

Phase
Relocation
Phase
Create a team and assign responsibilities for all aspects of the move â
Make sure all areas of expertise are covered â
Make sure that you may have to look outside of IT for some areas â
Prepare documentation, policy, and procedures â
Design a layout for your new data center â
Develop a schedule â
Set up services â
Make business interruption plans â
Only personnel involved in the move should be present at this time â
Have contact numbers for all your vendors handy â
have representatives from the construction firm â
Make sure you have resources on "standby" in case â
Test your critical applications and hardware once everything is in place â
Document every task that have moved in new places â
