The Data Centre of the Future Secure, Modular, Scalable, Mobile, Green presented by: Pablo Fernandez, AST Tallinn, 31. Jan. 2008
About AST • High Security (modular) Data Centre Construction • Turn key solutions • Proven track record with 300+ projects (Tier 3++) • Data Centre Consultancy & Design • Secure Storage Solutions for SMB • Data Centre Audits • EMI Consultancy & Testing • EMI Shielding Solutions • World patent in Modular Data Center solution • Present in over 20 countries • IBM specialist DC solutions supplier since 2003.
A Rapidly Changing World • Security • Physical and environmental threats a reality that can put at risk our entire Company´s existence. • Modularity • Doing it for real not just thinking about it: DC has to be prepared to expand w/o disrupting its normal operations. • Scalability • Designed to increase Power and Cooling density to match future needs. • Moore´s Law • Mobility: • Ability to relocate a DC and re-use of the assets that configure it. • Green • DC Consolidation and Servers´ Virtualization as main driving forces to optimize DC usage and energy efficiencies. • DC layout, insulation, cool what is needed.
Part 1: Planning
Designing Your Future DC • Must be aligned to corporate plan • Must be part of overall IT infrastructure plan • IT needs forecast • Technology refresh forecast • Must allow for organic growth • Acquisitions, technology change, unplanned growth • Design for 10 years life span
Est. growth needs DC XYZ : kW/Rack 20 KW/ Rack 15 KW/ Rack 10 KW/ Rack 5 KW/ Rack 2 KW/ Rack 2008 2012 2015 2018
Est. growth needs DC XYZ : nr. of Racks(i.e.: organic growth 10% + growth by acquisitions) 260 Racks Growth by Acquisition 230 Racks Growth by Acquisition 210 Racks 190 Racks 120 Racks 2008 2012 2015 2018
Est. Growth needs DC XYZ (iii) : Total power of racks (servers) 4 MW Phase 3 2 MW Phase 2 1 MW Phase 1 400 kW 2008 2012 2015 2018
Designing Your Future DC • What tier level facility do you require ? • Understand what the tiers are • Relevance to your business needs • Power requirements • Current density vs future requirements • Location • Geographical, physical, power availability • Learn from others´ mistakes • Reduce one time / custom engineering • Investment levels • Others: power availability,…

Flames > 1100ºC Conventional Data Centers Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof. Water Steam emitted by wet materials walls (gypsum and brick walls RF120)> 150 liters of water / m3 of concrete wall Temperature rises > 300°C Rel. Humidity up to 100% Nothing survives within the Data Center (HW, tapes,...) Water condensation in plenum => shortcircuits • Environmental Contamination (human hazard): 1 kg PVC burned (at 300ºC) causes 5.800 m³ of acrid gas. • 80% of Fires affecting Data Centers, come from the outside. • Only 20% of Fires are caused inside DC.
Conventional Data Center: Water and humidity dissipation under heat and fire. Liters of Water/ 1m³ of concrete (RF90)
Flames > 1100ºC Smart Shelter Protection NO Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof, but Secure Data Centre is. NO Water Steam emitted as wall materials are dry (no wet material). Emitted steam remains out of the Smart Shelter. Temperature rises < 50°C (max 70ºC as per EN1047) Rel. Humidity up to 70% (max. 85% as per EN1047) HW operates normally. Tapes and disk preserved. NO Water condensation in plenum: Sealed Room. SMART SHELTER structure (Fire resistant 120 min.) • NO Environmental Contamination (NO human hazard): NO burning possible as internal temperature . • Note: Smart Shelter under EN1047 certification process
