Editor's Notes
- #4 In addition to the desire to understand and control the costs, there are also some substantial challenges that many companies are facing today in the data centre: Regulatory requirements: …forcing unusual structural changes, partitioning of equipment, isolating it physically and providing certain levels of physical-access security around the equipment. Uncertain long-term plans for capacity or density: I have a number of data centre operators who tell me stories like “They told me what was going to be in this facility; I built it; only one third of what they told me is actually what ended up here. The other two thirds are things that weren’t even on the radar screen when I started this project. How am I supposed to design for that?… you know, I was trying to design to the circuit level – the branch circuit level in this facility – and they can’t even tell me a year ahead what’s going to be there and what’s going plug into it.” Increasing energy cost: People are looking at those bills and saying “ What can I do to get these under control or reduce them over time?” Increasing power density: This is one of the biggest subjects of critical importance to people today because it’s so destabilizing as far as data centre design goes. The new densities we’re talking about, as we all know, are an order of magnitude greater than the densities in typical data centres today. In response to all of these issues, APC contends that a radical change is required in the way we approach data centre planning & operation. We need to take a holistic view of this problem. The old way – trying to make products better on a product-by-product basis -- just isn’t going to get us there. What we need to do is… Create systems that adapt to changing requirements Systematically drive out the main cause of downtime: Human error Integrate power, cooling, and rack into a single management architecture Empower IT professionals to design, operate, and manage their physical infrastructure – and forecast and plan into the future, and not just rely on guesswork and gut feeling.

- #8 In order to understand data center management we need to understand the context – where does data center management reside and which other systems does it connect to. When looking at the different layers of management a facility will normally have ~1 building management systems running the lighting, HVAC, security , electrical distribution and power management and so on. ~2 On top of that you will find the data center physical infrastructure with power, cooling, racks etc. – which is run by Data Center Physical Infrastructure Management (DCPIM), linking the physical infrastructure layer with both the building management and the ~3 network management systems running the IT hardware such as servers, storage and networking equipment. ~ 4 On top of that you find the enterprise management systems consisting of IT software platforms, running the various applications hosted on the servers and linking all the way up to the ~ 5 business processes and the ~ 6 people running the business.
