Considerations and understanding in building a datacenter

1. Building A Next Generation Data Center Its Not Easy ….

3. DATACENTER LIMITATIONS

4. MOORE’s LAW The number of transistors that can be placed inexpensively on an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. This trend has continued for more than half a century and is expected to continue until 2015 or 2020 or later.

5. Intel 80386 275,000 Transistors Pentium 1 Million Transistors Itanium 2 Quad Core 2.6 Million Transistors

7. MOORE’s LAW- Power Density

8. 1 Processor 4GB RAM 509GB 2 x 325 Watt 2 Processors 12GB RAM 1.8TB 2 x 400Watt 192 Processors 768 GB RAM, SAN Storage 6 x 1200Watt

11. Room Over Capacity UPS at 90+% Capacity Room Temp around 88° Humidity @ ??? 5-1/2 Miles of Non Documented Cat5 Cable

13. Old school DATACENTER Hot Aisle Cold Aisle

14. PRIORITIES DESIGN ACCEPTABLE RISK

15. NEXT GENERATION DATA CENTER Facilities Physical Space Design Liabilities Cable Management Security Fire Safety Access

16. NEXT GENERATION DATA CENTER Power 110v or 220v? UPS Generator Environmental Cooling Humidity Event/ Breach Notification Facilities Technology

17. physical Layout Flood Sewer Pipes Water Pipes Furnace Proximity Flooring Raised Solid

18. security

19. ACCESS

20. FIRE 101

22. Leave No Residue

23. Is a CFC

24. Production Stopped in 1994

27. Notifications

28. 110 Volts 2 Phase 50Hz 20% Less Efficient in Generation Requires 30% Larger Windings 10-15% Less Efficient in Transmission 220v Standard in Europe Draws ½ the AMPS

29. I Got the power Uninterruptable Power Supply Never “Long Enough”? Batteries Degrade over Time Cost for Downtime Generator “Unlimited Downtime” Placed outdoors Test Weekly

31. Where it Goes HEAT POWER

32. IDEAL Environment American Society of Heating, Refrigerating & Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Technical Committee (TC) Revised 2004 & 2008 Guidelines for Data Center based on Green Initiatives. TC 9.9 Release 2011 20-80% Relative Humidity 64.4°F – 80.6°F Temperature

33. Cooling, in Theory

34. Cooling, in REALITY 88° 30° 58°

35. Cooling GREEN 74° 72°

38. Design for Disasters

39. Monitor Systems

40. Secure Area

41. Document EVERYTHING

42. Energy Efficient 220V
