  1. Data Centre World Expo 2009 Designing, building and operating high density data centres Kevin Sell Head of Technical Facilities, Telstra International EMEA

  2. Considerations • Why Build High Density • Market data & trends • Customer requirements • Efficient use of floor space • Selecting the correct solution • Efficiency • Cost • Scalability • Suitability for purpose

  3. Considerations • Installation requirements • Can your existing infrastructure handle high density • Can the building handle high density • Effective project management • Speed of completion • Interlinking of installation contractors

  4. Considerations • Customer experience • Deliver what the customer wants • Visibility of power consumption from remote • Visibility of environmental conditions from remote • Customer confidence in the infrastructure • Ongoing maintenance • Maintenance without customer impact • Modular systems for ease of maintenance

  5. Market Trends Data Centre Power Trends

  6. Market Trends Industry trends • Growth of e-commerce. • Outsourcing/cost-reduction. The increased corporate focus on cost reduction as a necessity. • Data backup/recovery. • Increasing broadband penetration. • Bandwidth-intensive services.

  7. Server Trends Key Facts: Average Blade Server Chassis requires 4-5kW Average customer deployment is 2 Blade Chassis (8-10kW)

  8. Selecting the right solution Selection of rack densities to provide greater choice • 3, 5, 10 and 17kW rated racks provide a good range of our sales team to take out to customers

  9. Selecting the right solution Maximum efficiency • In-row cooling units were utilised; fan speeds and chilled water valves operate in accordance with the load.

  10. Selecting the right solution In row cooling

  11. Selecting the right solution

  12. Selecting the right solution

  13. Selecting the right solution UPS solution

  14. Selecting the right solution Scalability Revenue being realised before project completion.

  15. Installation requirements • A fully loaded rack containing 3 x Blade chassis sited alongside an in-row cooling unit weighs 550kg, making a 12 rack high density enclosure almost 7 tonnes. Add to that the weight of the chilled water pipe work and you will be over 5kN/M2. • Sufficient floor loading must be available. A structural engineer is advisable. • Power and chilled water availability must also be allocated to the project. • Working within a live data centre environment requires a strict program and meticulous project management along with thorough understanding between all contractors.

  17. Customer experience Visibility of power consumption

  18. Customer experience Visibility of environmental conditions

  19. Customer experience Visibility of environmental conditions

  20. Customer experience Visibility of environmental conditions

  21. Customer experience Compatible with existing conventional data suites

  22. Customer experience Compatible with existing conventional data suites All these tools give customers visibility and confidence in the infrastructure

  23. Monitoring and maintenance The same remote power and environmental monitoring available to the customers is also available to the data centre operator. Thresholds are created which create alarms should more power be drawn than the customer is contracted for.

  24. Monitoring and maintenance Thresholds are set on the software which controls the cooling units. This enables any alarms or warnings to be sent either directly to a BMS system or even e-mail individuals if required.

  25. Monitoring and maintenance The in-row cooling units are easily accessible from the hot or cold aisle for maintenance. An automatic leak detection system operates local isolation valves in the event of a leak. The units are configured as N+1 to enable maintenance to take place with zero impact on the cooling capacity
