Infrastructure Management at BNY Mellon
Data Center by Tishman Technologies
Tishman Technologies managed the construction of a new two-story, 165,000-square-foot Tier IV
data center and computer operations center. The electrical system consists of dual utility supply
inputs feeding redundant A and B medium voltage utility service and engine control switchboards.
Stand-by power is supplied from eight 2-MW generators and cooling is from a looped glycol system.
The project began when the price of steel was at an all-time high, so the project team explored
alternate methods for constructing the core and shell and after a thorough evaluation
recommended poured-in-place concrete columns instead of steel. The project was partnered by
Sigma-7 Design Group.
“We are prioritizing Object oriented storage over file or disk
oriented data systems and infusing statelesscomputing in the
data centers.” –SwamyKocherlakota, Managing Director and
Head of Infrastructure, BNY Mellon
The three shifts in the IT infra of BNY Mellon: a move to software-defined data centers, the rise of
stateless compute that separates machines from individual users and big data that allows
companies to better utilize their business intelligence. Object storage, flash and data protection
are important pieces of these data storage trends.
BNY Mellon has gone tapeless because it no longer met the bank's needs for backup and recovery
times, he said. Every gigabyte of usable data at the bank requires the executives to plan for 2.5 GB
of storage. The company uses continuous data protection as opposed to running backups once in
the night and running full backups on weekends.
Scale-out architectures are important to keep up with today's data growth. BNYM focuses on how
a solution scales and every time if IT team wants to add a data node, they prevent buying a new
node and build onto the module. Scale-out is key for the company’s growing business and related
data and the impact on network bandwidth is key as they want to back it up with little impact on
the network because the cost-per-gig price on the network is a lot higher than cost per gig on the
storage front.

The primary shifts in BNYM’s data storage
Use of flash in storage systems for responsive needs in the business.
Reducing data center’s energy use
BNY Mellon’s 71,000 square-foot Northern Pennsylvania Processing Center (NPPC), built in 2006
and located north of Pittsburgh, is part of a network of data centers that process over a trillion
dollars in transactions per day. Understandably, given these circumstances, managers of financial
institution’s mission-critical data centers typically tend to be risk-adverse and uptime-focused and
not as concerned with efficiency.
However, BNY Mellon, a leader in sustainability among financial institutions, has long
demonstrated a significant commitment to the environment. For example, in 2011, 49 percent of
the real estate owned and operated by BNY Mellon was ENERGY STAR qualified. BNY Mellon has
reduced their internal copy paper usage by 28 percent since 2008 and offset 75 percent of its
domestic electricity consumption in 2009 through renewable energy investments. For data
centers, BNY Mellon has tracked energy performance at all its data centers since 2006 through its
Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) program. PUE is a data center efficiency metric that equals total
power usage of a data center divided by the power used to run the IT infrastructure.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency awarded the Energy Star label to BNY Mellon’s
Northpointe Data Center, located near Pittsburgh. Northpointe, a 71,000-square-foot data center
built in 2006, is one of just three facilities to have earned the recently-implemented Energy Star
for Data Centers. The others are a NetApp data center in North Carolina and a Consonus facility in
Utah.
Team-Wide Focus on Efficiency
A team of professionals from BNY Mellon, Jones Lang LaSalle, H.F. Lenz and Mechanical Operations
Company, Inc., worked collectively on the energy efficiency features of the Northpointe data
center, while reducing operating costs and cutting greenhouse gas emissions from electrical usage
at the facility. The team focused on utility improvements and systems to keep the data center’s
power and cooling systems in sync with the workload.
“BNYM has had a significant commitment to environmental
sustainability and operational efficiency and reliability for
quite some time. We look at the return on investment as well
as the opportunity to make lasting changes that will reduce
our overallenvironmental footprint.” - Dan Gaffney, Director
of CriticalInfrastructureGroup, BNY Mellon
The EPA’s national energy performance rating system provides a scale from one to 100, which
helps organizations assess how efficiently their buildings use energy relative to other buildings
nationwide. Only buildings that score a rating of 75 or higher on the rating scale as verified by
engineers are eligible.
The new Energy Star for Data Centers rating is a customized version of the EPA’ Energy Star for
Buildings program, with some adaptations that recognize the unique power use of data centers.
The EPA rating for buildings is usually based on “energy intensity” measured in watts per square
foot of space, a measure in which data centers score off the scale compared to most commercial
buildings.

High Standards for Energy Use
“It’s by design that our ongoing sustainability and energy conservation efforts have resulted in this
new and significant data center Energy Star designation as we grow our business in an
environmentally sustainable way,” said Chip Logan, managing director, BNY Mellon facilities
services and sustainability. BNY Mellon is also a member of The Green Grid, a global consortium
of IT and related companies and professionals seeking to improve energy efficiency in data centers
and business computing environments around the world.
The EPA Energy Star for Buildings program maintains a registry of 11,000+ commercial properties
that have met the stringent energy-efficiency specifications designed to promote superior energy
use and performance, and prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
Most of these projects involved significant upgrades/enhancements to the base building systems
in order to satisfy the Bank’s critical system requirements. In many instances this included the
provision of additional standby generators and oil storage capacity, UPS systems and
supplementary cooling systems in order to achieve the Bank’s high standards for business
continuity. These energy saving projects not only led to company’s cost saving, but also represents
BNYM’s responsibility towards ecosystem.
The Result
Became the second data center ever to earn the ENERGY STAR Buildings designation in
2010.
Improved its PUE score from 2.0 in 2008 to 1.52 in 2012.
Saved 24 million kWh or $1.7 million dollars since the PUE program’s inception in 2006.
BNY Mellon’s Enterprise Data Center PUE program has saved over $12 million dollars (160 million
kWh total) since 2006, which has led to cost cutting and saved energy for the energy deprived
ecosystem.
