  1. Modular, Pay As You Grow, Data Centers Trends & Case Study

  2. Current Trends Good News Bad News • Re-centralisation of computing facilities • Virtualisation • Grid Computing • Willing to spend to save (TCO reduction)‏ • Modernisation • Pay As You Grow • Start small • Low CAPEX • Customers want solution not vendors • Most large DC facilities are running out of power / space • Power and space at a premium in built up areas • Credit crunch ! • Focus on reducing computing costs • IT Hardware • Software • Physical infrastructure • Energy • Increased regulation • Basell II • SOX • Cauldicot • Insurance • Kyoto • Increased Threats • Economical • Environmental • Physical

  3. Traditional Data Center's • Organicly grown • Mixed technologes • Mixed power densities • Poor cooling • Hot spots • Within existing buildings / offices • Expensive space • Limited expansion • Poor physical security • Standard construction • Poor location • Meets little or no industry standards 2000 - For every £1 spent on facilities, £3 was spend on IT 2010 - For every £1 spent on IT, £3 will be spend on facilities Source – IBM Data

  4. Data Center Standards • EN1047-2 Fire Resistance of Data rooms • TIA/EIA 942 Telecommunication Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers • EN 60529 Water and dust protection (IP 6 5)‏ • ISO 1182 Construction materials behavior to Fire • EN 23093 Fire Resistance classification of construction materials • ISO 14520 Gas tightness of room • EN 1627 Vandalism Security (WK3)‏ • ISO 14644 Dust (Clean room standard)‏ • ISO 17799 IT Security Infrastructure • EN 56709 Raised floor • Sarbanes Oxley (SOX) Ensure data protection and audit guidelines • Basel II – Huge implications for Banking, Finance, Brokering, Trading, Insurance etc..

  5. Flames > 1100ºC Fire & Water in Conventional Data Centers Water flooding Risk: 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. Source – Swiss RE

  6. The Solution NO Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof, but Secure Data Centre is. Emitted steam remains out of the Smart Shelter. NO Water Steam emitted as wall materials are dry (no wet material). 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. 30db Reduction in HF EMC Fields. NO Water condensation in plenum: Sealed Room. Flames > 1100ºC HIGH SECURE DATA CENTER structure (Fire resistant 120 min.)‏ • NO Environmental Contamination (NO human hazard): NO burning possible as internal temperature is below 70oC

  7. EN 1047 Testing

  8. Case Study Problem • Existing data center in converted church. • Listed building with limited space for expansion • Customers wanting traditional co-location & hosting as well as bespoke products. • Limited power on existing site • Lots of commercial properties with power and connectivity but poor physical structures / security Solution • Purchase low cost commercial property with available power. • Build 100% capacity in electrical and cooling back bone infrastructure. • Develop modular build and growth model. • Build data center using high security modular construction methods.

  9. Case Study – The SiteDisused Shoe Factory

  10. Case Study – The SiteLeaking roof with asbestos but solid level floor

  11. Case Study – The SitePhased Design Chiller & Generator Compound • Deploy 50% power and cooling capacity with N+1 redundancy plus 100% backbone capacity. • Install comms • Build traditional data center for co-location hosting clients. • Build demonstration custom facility. • Build NOC, offices & meeting facilities. • Migrate from existing facility. • Occupancy threshold or new custom client triggers new build. UPS & Power Phase 1 70 Racks Phase 2 70 Racks
