This presentation describes the DCM design principals, with examples of several projects and methodologies to address very high density racks (12-24kW), at exceptional efficiency levels (PUE 1.2-1.4).

How Sun can help you
create the datacenter of the
future:

IT equipment ± 57%
Cooling equipment ± 34%
Power distribution loss ± 7%
Lighting / other ±
2%
Source: The Green Grid
Individual Datacenters can vary substantially
Where does the power go?

8. 8
The Limits of Raised Floors
Not enough cooling for high loads
High density raised floor deployments makes it difficult to maintain
even and predictable server temperatures
Heat from one server can impact the reliability of another!

9. 9
Reality: Heterogeneous Data Centers
Industry average is between 4-6kw/cabinet
> 20kw Skyscrapers will be integrated
Must deal with small buildings & skyscrapers

10. 10
Traditional Datacenter designs vs.
Next-Generation Datacenter
Traditional Datacenter designs:
Lower efficiency, high PUE, high OPEX
As business and technology changes,
adaptability of DC to future needs may
require modifications
Next-Generation Datacenter designs:
Higher efficiency / PUE, lower OPEX
Modular, scalable, flexible
Future-proofed

11. 11
Strategies for New / Greenfield Facility
Design with key considerations:
Alignment of Data Center facility infrastructure with IT
requirements or Right-sizing the facility
Immediate and future power and cooling requirements
Heat load per rack – determines cooling architecture
Structural floor loading
Cabling structure
Modularity, Flexibility and Manageability – power distribution,
cooling system, cabling management
Balancing availability / resiliency with efficiency
Closely Coupled Cooling vs. traditional ambient / room oriented
cooling

Example of POD – Telco in Malaysia

Data Center design
Example of BIM model for one engagement
Physical layout precision – avoidance of unforeseen bends and crossings

Sun will customize a design to your requirements
Best Practices for High Density payloads
Optimize cooling & air handling through localized cooling strategies
Employ liquid cooling for computers and racks
Ensure structural floor loading is sufficient
Simplify Datacenter Design: POD concept is flexible and easy to right-size
Measure power usage: Visibility gives you power to control
Replace outdated rules of thumb: Raised floors, tight humidity control
Specify efficient UPS systems and IT power supplies

17. 17
Power Usage Effectiveness: PUE
Typical Data Centre Target Data Centre
A typical data centre will consume 1.5 watts of overhead for every watt delivered
to its IT equipment.
That means for every $1 you are paying to power up your IT equipment, you are
paying an addition of $1.50 to support the Data Center facility infrastructure
