Is dcom more important than data centre design
- 1. 1 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Is Data Centre Operations more important than Design ? Presented by Barry Elliott of Capitoline This is an extract from a webinar. If you would like to see the full webinar please contact us at http://www.capitoline.org/ask-an-expert/ or would like a copy of the white paper that accompanies this presentation then please register at http://www.capitoline.org/is-data-centre-management- more-important-than-data-centre-design/
- 2. 2 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org What is important to Data Centre Managers ? • Reliability • Security • Efficiency • Maintenance • Capacity, growth and upgrades
- 3. 3 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Reliability - Mean time to failure From Capitoline’s recent research we found • 219 major data centre failures in 60 months, and that’s just the ones made public • If we presume this is at best half of all failures then a data centre goes down somewhere twice a week • And that’s excluding individual equipment failures • Average downtime 12.5 hours per major incident • From 20 minutes to 8 days • Six of the data centres were considered written-off after fire or flood
- 4. 4 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Failure mechanisms If we remove IT problems we can look purely at the Facilities Management problems Power 43% HVAC 7% Fire 21% Attack 9% Environment 6% Unknown/Other 9% Fire malfunction 5%
- 5. 5 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Design • Better design • More thought about location • Adequate fire suppression methods Operations • Testing of all systems, not just components • Proper maintenance plans • Monitoring • Business processes Almost every major failure can be avoided
- 6. 6 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Designing for Reliability • TIA-942 describes four Ratings of fault tolerance • BICSI-002 and EN50600 describe four Classes of fault tolerance • The UpTime Institute describes four Tiers of fault tolerance The engineering philosophy in each case is very similar
- 7. 7 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Designing for resilience The concept of Ratings/Classes and Tiers in a data centre Rating 1. Enough items to do the job Rating 2. Redundant items Rating 3. Concurrently maintainable. • Any item or path can be taken down for maintenance and the system will still operate Rating 4. Fault tolerant • The same as Rating 3 but will automatically cope with failures without human intervention
- 8. 8 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Managing for resilience Not having an operational process plan means that even a data centre built to Rating 4 standards will not even operate at Rating 1 reliability levels as things will inevitably go wrong Fatal Examples • A data centre failed because the standby generator was left in manual rather than automatic mode. When the power failed, the generators didn’t start. It wasn’t anybody’s job to check this • A data centre failed because the fire suppression system was set to manual rather than automatic. It burned down. It wasn’t anybody’s job to check this • A data centre failed because temperature sensors were full of dust. Equipment went into thermal runaway. It wasn’t anybody’s job to check this
- 9. 9 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Design and Management Standards Design Standards • EN 50600 • TIA 942 • BICSI 002 Management Standards • ISO 9000 • ISO 14000 • ISO 27000 • ISO 50000 • ISO 55000

This is currently BS OHSAS 18001
- 11. 11 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org Main causes of failure • Location • Building architecture • Computer room layout • Power • Cooling • Fire detection and suppression • Data cabling • Physical security • Building Management Systems What’s important in data centre design? Covered in detail by EN 50600 and TIA942 No Single Points of Failure!
- 12. 12 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org What’s important in data centre management? • Understanding failure mechanisms • Good Housekeeping within the data centre • Optimised equipment layouts • Understanding the power train • BMS and status monitoring • Policies and procedures to manage a data centre • Essential maintenance • Health and safety requirements • Fire policy • Physical Security policy
- 13. 13 ©2015CapitolineLtd DESIGN: OPERATIONS:AUDIT:TRAINING www.capitoline.org They are both equally important. Without good design and good operations management we will not have good • Reliability • Security • Efficiency • Maintenance • Growth and upgrades Is Data Centre Operations more important than Design ?

- The inspiration for Tiers in a data centre comes originally from The Uptime Institute. And the general principles of the different Tier levels are given here. However, whereas the Uptime Institute definition is more of an engineering philosophy, the TIA 942 gives a detailed and prescriptive list of design criteria to meet a particular Tier level. We will see examples of this throughout the course.
