  1. CSG Panel – May 10, 2006Key Lessons for New Data Centers • Project overview • Requirements • Lessons learned • Going Forward

  2. Project overview • Early 99 – Eviction notice - Center for Govt Studies • June 99 – Hire Project Manager • Sept 99 – June 00 – Feasibility Study/Site Selection • June 00 – June 01 – Design/Community • June 01 – Nov 2002 construction • Nov-Dec 02 – Move in

  3. Requirements • Robust, Flexible and Scalable • 4,000 -> 5,000 sqft + • Redundant Fiber • 55 watts/sqft – EYP 40 • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) – Dual 450Kva • Diesel Generator – 2000KW • Redundancy - PDU/CRAC – N+1/5 • Advanced Fire Protection – FM200 FF – Pre-action Sprinkler • Environmental Monitoring • RCR/DCCR structure – EMC XSP • Administrative Computing focus

  4. Lessons • Hire a full time PM – DCTR experience • Site selection – understand all implications of usage • Mixed use – labs, security, post move in construction • Delays impact project team and create risk • We went thru (3) Electrical design engineers • Material availability – floor tiles • Involve IT (and other) vendors as early as possible • Phased moves vs. “big bang” approach • Minimize risk • Process improvement • Continuously drill down with the move details • CAMAIL move example • Loading dock usage sequence

  5. Lessons • Understand the impact on the staff • Design involvement • Complete the entire building and commission the data center prior to relocation • Occupancy permit issues • Pre-stage network - IP and SAN – Addtl $$ • Allow at least 3 month between completion of the building and relocation of the IT infrastructure • Data Center growth planning: a difficult balance between having capacity and over spending • Rack KW instead of floor space • 36” floors – air flow • Layout entire datacenter floor plate • Rack layout • Density plan

  6. Going Forward • Better job engaging schools • Identify anchor customers • Research Computing • “Get out of the way” • DR – Sync with SunGard contract • How Many Data Centers • Which Tier (Uptime institute) • Virtualization • Technology • APC • Angstrom

  7. Data Center Trends(Data Provided by Computer World Article 11-04)
