Data Center – Overview / Subsystems Cabling Infrastructure IT Security Control system Raised floor Air Conditioning & Ventilation Systems Early fire Warning system Fire detection Fire extinguishing Water warning systems Access control Monitoring & Infrastructure Management Systems Power Supply, UPS & Generator Systems

6. Main issues & concerns of Data Center Owners & Operators Data Center – What is important ? (Source: Datacenter Dynamics)

7. Power supply and air conditioning have become the limiting factor for implementation of Data Centers. Data Center - Limiting Factors Picture: Knürr

8. Data Center – Power Consumption Sources: EYP Mission Critical Facilities, Cisco IT, Network World, Customer Interviews, APC Reducing Data Center Power Consumption is a multi-faceted challenge. All areas need to be addressed to maximize data center compute capacity and minimize power costs.

9. Cold air pumped into plenum space beneath floor tiles and vented into cold aisles and returns through a ceiling plenum. Data Center – Airflow Efficiency

10. Airflow is blocked by a fully loaded raised floor For new buildings, cabling in the ceiling shall be considered for better management and improved airflow.

12. Comparison: Office Cabling <> Data Center Cabling Office Cabling: Static after installation Technology cycle: 5-10 years Lower density acceptable Downtimes less critical Physical environment less important Data Center Cabling: Dynamic Technology cycle: 3-5 years Highest density required Downtimes very critical Physical environment very important

13. Data Center – Infrastructure Requirements Highest Reliability and Availabilit y (= Quality ). High Infrastructure Performance to support various kinds of services. Shortest Deployment Time for Moves, Adds & Changes (MAC’s). Highest Density of all equipment. Redundancy Support to save Power Best possible control via Network and Infrastructure Management (including reliable documentation).

15. Data Center – Relevant Standards EN 50173-5 Data Center Cabling ISO/IEC 24764 (created according EN 50173-5) EIA/TIA 942 “Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards for Data Centers”

16. Ad-hoc growth and cabling Point to point cabling Pathway confusion Documentation errors Data Center – Why standards ? Network Cabinets Server Cabinets Server Cabinets Server Cabinets Server Cabinets More an evolution than a real planning from the beginning Finally leading to a difficult to handle chaos !
