There are many factors in the data center that are driving the new data center design considerations. This slideshare discusses several of the trends in the data center and covers several solutions to implement.
When it comes to designing, building, and operating mission-critical data centers, simple is better. Data centers are faster and cheaper to build, and more reliable with lower total cost of ownership (TCO), when they start with a dramatically simplified design and build process that incorporates these elements: reference designs, pre-fabricated/modular architecture, partners that bring comprehensive capabilities into play, and coordinated planning around software, operations, and service. What you will learn: The top 5 weaknesses of today’s design/bid/build approach A simplified approach using reference designs and pre-fab products can preserve Day 1 capital and improve speed to market An integrated solution provider (Design, Build, Hardware and Operations) can optimize CapEx, OpEx and TCO.

It’s well known that cooling typically accounts for around half of a data center's total power consumption. Given this, it's imperative that cooling is optimized to achieve a low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). While this too may be common knowledge, the question still remains, how can this be done quickly, with all possible benefits realized, and with the fastest return on investment?

Cooling Optimization 101: A Beginner's Guide to Data Center CoolingUpsite Technologies
As new personnel enter the industry, they are often bombarded with a slew of buzz words and marketing messages that would lead them to believe that data centers almost run themselves. And while monitoring and DCIM solutions are improving the management of power and cooling, an understanding of the fundamental science is crucial to both see through the hype and get the most out of management systems. More so, as the veterans in our industry start to retire, much of the basic knowledge around power and cooling is often overlooked when training their successors. This session will provide that basic knowledge and give a fundamental understanding of the power and cooling infrastructure in a data center, with an emphasis on cooling optimization. In this session, you’ll learn how to recover stranded cooling capacity, reduce operating costs, improve IT equipment reliability, and prolong the life and capacity of the data center.

Every business has a data center, regardless of the size. Even the smallest business has it. It is an ever-growing part of business in the modern world and a key business parameter, since data center influences the functioning of business enterprise. Imagine what happens to the business operation when the data center is interrupted. Any interruption can lead to serious breakdown. That is why efficient backup strategy is essential.
Enclosure Strategies for Efficiency – Data Center Efficiency Best-Practice Starts with Your Racks
Historically, Data Center managers didn't invest much thought in their deployment of server racks beyond basic functionality, air flow, and the initial cost of the rack itself. Today, the widespread deployment of high-density configurations is causing major hot spot concerns and capacity issues. These factors, along with the high cost of power, require a sound understanding of how your server rack deployment plan relates to your overall efficiency strategy.

One word that you often see associated with any data center is its “tier,” or its level of service. Virtually every data center has a tier ranking of I, II, III, or IV, and this ranking serves as a symbol for everything it has to offer: its physical infrastructure, its cooling, power infrastructure, redundancy levels, and promised uptime.
This presentation takes a look at each of the 4 data center tiers, examining the key components for each tier, as well the total expected uptime level for each tier. If you are in the process of evaluating data centers, this is no doubt a term you will come across in your search, so we hope this presentation helps provide some solid background in to how you can better choose a data center for your specific needs.

When developing data center energy-use estimations, engineers must account for all sources of energy use in the facility. Most energy consumption is obvious: computers, cooling plant and related equipment, lighting, and other miscellaneous electrical loads. Designing efficient and effective data centers is a top priority for consulting engineers. Cooling is a large portion of data center energy use, second only to the IT load. Although there are several options to help maximize HVAC efficiency and minimize energy consumption, data centers come in many shapes, sizes, and configurations. By developing a deep understanding of their client’s data center HVAC requirements, consulting engineers can help maintain the necessary availability level of mission critical applications while reducing energy consumption.

Analysis of Power Dissipation & Low Power VLSI Chip DesignEditor IJMTER
Low power requirement has become a principal motto in today’s world of electronics
industries. Power dissipation has becoming an important consideration as performance and area for
VLSI Chip design. With reducing the chip size, reduced power consumption and power management
on chip are the key challenges due to increased complexity. Low power chip requirement in the
VLSI industry is main considerable field due to the reduction of chip dimension day by day and
environmental factors. For many designs, optimization of power is important as timing due to the
need to reduce package cost and extended battery life. This paper present various techniques to
reduce the power requirement in various stages of CMOS designing i.e. Dynamic Power
Suppression, Adiabatic Circuits, Logic Design for Low Power, Reducing Glitches, Logic Level
Power Optimization, Standby Mode Leakage Suppression, Variable Body Biasing, Sleep Transistors,
Dynamic Threshold MOS, Short Circuit Power Suppression.

What’s new in the smart grid - Latest developments and trends and what it mea...Schneider Electric
First, a big picture view of global trends over the last two years, then an analysis as to what this means to Schneider Electric customers in different geographies of the world.
More Electric:
Our world is becoming More Electric. Almost everything we interact with today is either already electric or becoming electric. Think about it. From the time you start your day in the morning to the time you finish your day – your home, your car, your work, your devices, your entertainment – almost everything is electric. Imagine the energy needed to power this. Electricity consumption will increase by 80% in next 25 years
More Connected: Our lives are also becoming more connected. The Internet has already transformed the way we live, work and play. Now the Connected Things is going to take this to a brand new level. 50 billion things connected in the next 5 years.
More Distributed: With such a widespread electrification and connectivity, energy models need rethinking as well. Which is why the generation of power needs to be closer to users. Distributed Energy is rapidly evolving globally. This is positive energy – renewable. In 2014 , Renewables overtook fossil fuels in investment value, with $295bn invested in renewables compared to $289bn invested in fossil fuels. And it is getting cheaper to do this.
More Efficient: When our world is more electric, more connected and more distributed, new opportunities emerge and allows us to tap into even more efficiency – in industrial processes, in the energy value chain, in buildings, in transportation, in the global supply chain and even in the comfort and peace-of-mind of our homes.
With more than $18 billion in M&A activity in the first half of last year alone, the colocation industry is riding the bubble of rapid growth. Colocation data center providers are being evaluated by a wide range of investors, with varying experience and perspectives. Understanding the evaluation criteria is a critical competency for attracting the right type of investor and financial commitment for your colocation business and this is why we have invited today’s speaker to present.

Within healthcare facilities, high availability of systems is a key influencer of revenue and patient safety and satisfaction. Three important critical success factors need to be addressed in order to achieve safety and availability goals. These include exceeding the facility’s level of regulatory compliance, a linking of business benefits to the maintenance of a safe and an “always on” power and ventilation environment, and a sensible approach to technology upgrades that includes new strategies for “selling” technological improvements to executives. This reference guide offers recommendations for identifying and addressing each of these issues.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Total electric power use on earth in 2008 was estimated to be 17,096 TWh (Terawatt hours).[CLICK] Data centers energy consumption data is probably 2% of the world’s electricity (some reports say not 2% but 8%). [CLICK] Due to poor design practices, one-third of that 2% is wasted due to the inefficiency of the traditional data center physical infrastructure… compared to what is possible for the same cost (this estimate is base on our experience). [CLICK] So just by doing smarter designs, we could save 1/3 of the energy consumption. This would amount to 27 TWh (Terawatt hours). This is more than the entire installed capacity of solar power available on the grid today. The total worldwide energy generated by Photovoltaic was about 26TWhr. Relative to the energy capacity for wind power and electricity consumption in the US, the potential energy savings available now is still significant.
Key point: This industry has a widely accepted energy measurement and improvement standard!Speaker note: Do NOT go into PUE detail—keep with the high-level theme of measuring energy performance against an accepted standard.[CLICK] BUT, customers MUST begin to measure before they can make improvements to compare against the benchmark standard.Customer motivation: With improvement against the benchmark of PUE & EnergyStar, customers can apply for special funding, tax credits, incentives, rebates, etc (from government and utilities).
Software Management is our strongest Schneider-wide offer in this space. Different management solutions for different business needs that affect the data center.Recall: The customer MUST measure their energy use against the standard that is established & widely accepted for the data center.
S+I speaker notes: Here we can identify the core purposes of the different Schneider software management platforms as they relate to data center monitoring and automation. They are NOT mutually exclusive, but rather serve different purposes and often different stakeholders within the business.Additional background notes from Kevin Brown, author of APC White Paper #104.This table helps to differentiate some of the mainstream Monitoring & Automation subsystems in terms of their primary and secondary functions.The facility power management subsystem provides detailed insight into the status and operation of the entire electrical distribution network (from utility feeds, to transformers, to PDUs, to racks) within a building, often including the data center. Electrical engineering staff and consultants utilize this subsystem to manage the electrical distribution network. The key functions provided by this type of subsystem include power monitoring of current conditions (critical and non-critical load), power alarming, and “power analytics”. These functions support critical activities such as notification of and response to electrical network problems, maintenance (planned and unplanned), capacity planning, facility expansion / retro-fit projects, energy efficiency projects, power quality analysis, and power reliability analysis.
S+I speaker notes: Here we can see how the ITB uses ISX Operations to complement the ISX Central, Power and Buildings management offers with data center infrastructure decision-making tools. This software uses the input from ISX Central to enable planning and implementation decisions to be made in a logical manner. Again, it is only as useful as the whole energy management view.Additional background notes from Kevin Brown, author of APC White Paper #104:This table helps to differentiate some of the mainstream planning and implementation subsystems in terms of their primary and secondary functions.Facility asset management – This subsystem allows for :management of asset deployment, generation of facility-relation parts specifications, calibration, costing and tracking of building equipment assets. Facility capacity management – This subsystem aids facilities staff to plan both moves and changes within the mechanical and electrical rooms, by providing real-time measurements of energy consumption and water flows in addition to the project impact of changes to the power and cooling infrastructure.IT room workflow management – This subsystem facilitates the execution of equipment additions, moves, and changes by presenting a hierarchical overview of data center locations, including global and local views and from groups to single assets. IT room capacity management – From a power consumption efficiency perspective, the system identifies the optimal physical location for power, cooling, and rack-based IT equipment.The speaker notes continue on next page; the following slide is hidden in presentation mode.
