IT Division
Mission:
1. Information sharing
2. Consolidation. (26 to
7+1)
3. Standardization. (single
vendor policy)
For the datacenter:
1. Capacity management.
2. Managing power and
cooling issues.
14. Datacenter tiers
Tier 1: composed of a single path for power and cooling distribution,
without redundant components, providing 99.671% availability.
Tier II: composed of a single path for power and cooling distribution, with
redundant components, providing 99.741% availability
Tier III: composed of multiple active power and cooling distribution paths,
but only one path active, has redundant components, and is
concurrently maintainable, providing 99.982% availability
Tier IV: composed of multiple active power and cooling distribution
paths, has redundant components, and is fault tolerant, providing
99.995% availability.

• near Tier-3 data center ? Tier-3 plus ?
• Look for the weakst link….

17. EU standaards
17
30-01-15
EN 50173-5 Information technology – Data Centers.
Smaller scope than TIA942 but from a European perspective.
BS/EN1047 - 2:2000
European standard providing clearly defined performance criteria for operating conditions
within rooms and containers ie; R60D for Data Rooms and C60D for Data
Containers.
19. Physical location
TIA – 942 Data Centre Location Recommendations:
• The building should not be in the flight path of any nearby airports.
• The building should be no closer than 0.8 km (½ mile) from a railroad or major
interstate highway to minimize risk of chemical spills.
• The building should not be within 0.4 km (¼ mile) of an airport, research lab,
chemical plant, landfill, river, coastline, or dam.
• The building should not be within 0.8 km (½ mile) of a military base.
• The building should not be within 1.6 km (1 mile) of nuclear, munitions, or
defence plant.
• The building should not be located adjacent to a foreign embassy.
• The building should not be located in high crime areas.
• EMC risks must be minimised by locating away from radar transmitters and
mobile ‘phone masts.
• The building should not be located below sea level or flood area’s.

Know your IT and Data Center Infrastructure
strategy or vision and shape it to your
organization – be cautious of vendor driven
visions.

• TIA 942 / EN 50173-5
• Health and Human Safety (National Codes)
• Physical sizing and capabilities codes (power, cooling, etc.)
• Electrical and utility systems to and within the data centre (utility codes)
• Fire minimization, detection, alarm and suppression (Fire Codes)
• Civil Security and Emergency Codes (Police and Fire Codes)
• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) (ASHRAE Standards)
• Communications Cabling within and to the data centre (TIA Standards)
• Cabling containment within the data centre (including raised floors)
• Information Technology Equipment (Equipment Vendor Requirements)
• Security, Access and CCTV (Privacy Codes)
• Data Security and Recovery (National and International regulations)
• NEN-EN-IEC 62347 Guidance on system dependability specifications

Editor's Notes
This is a case study of how the Dutch Police Force consolidated 26 smaller data centers into seven twin-center data centers and one high-secure data center. This was a six-year project that encompassed 55,000 workstations and approximately 60,000 employees. The discussion covers how they handled consolidation, availability (Tier I–IV), security, EU standards, disaster/recovery planning and more.
