Project overview Scientific partners + Commercial partners London, October 2013
Evolution of DCIM & Data centre design tools • \ Datacentres CEE, Warszawa, 26 Sept 2013
CoolEmAll adoption London, October, 2013
Role of advisory board HowAB and CoolEmALl consortium can cooperate: • Scientific + Commercial AB:Promotion of project press release, tweet, conference presentations • Scientific + Commercial AB: Provide regular external feedback on the development of the project • Scientific + Commercial AB: Looking for early adopters and testers of the components. • Real-world facility level data (power use etc.) • Commercial AB: Lack the resources to develop a fully mature product so looking for collaborators/partners in exploiting results (licensing/partnering etc.) London, October 2013
Discussion topics • General • Is holistic (application centric) approach to DC design/operation practical? • SVD Toolkit • Where in the design/build lifecycle should tools be deployed. • IT defined as black boxes • Applications in the design-phase • More suited to design versus operation • Growing importance of simulation in operation versus design London, October 2013
What stage is CoolemAll useful? London, October 2013
Discussion topic AB members • Metrics • What metrics should we focus on: • Partial PUE • FVER • ACE – Future Facilities • Standardization • How important is standardization for the adoption of new tools/hardware • Not only technical interoperability but also contributing to standards bodies. • Open source (OpenDCIM) • DC Code of Conduct London, October 2013
Next steps • Final tools ready early 2014 • Another webcast demo • Follow-up survey • Discuss technical integration • Sharing components/data • Real-world data to verify models • Plan use by AB or customers • AB Involvement in future projects • RenewIT • Others London, October 2013
