Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) Essential foundation of reliability
You have a large NCPI investment Electricity: 27% Service: 13% Racks: 3% Space: 17% Engineering & Installation: 19% Cooling Equipment: 6% Power Equipment: 17% Typical 10 yr lifecycle TCO from $80K to $140K per rack Source: APC White Paper #6
Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure Challenges • Rapid changes in IT technology • High density • High operating/service costs • Increasing availability expectations • Server consolidation • Regulatory requirements In response, APC is changing the way the world designs, installs, operates, manages and maintains Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)
The Business Value Equation for Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure Availability x Agility Value = TCO What are the barriers to improving value by 10x?
10 X Agility Availability x Value = TCO • Equipment Reliability • Mean-Time-To-Recover • Human Error 80% less 50% less Your entitlement: Reduce downtime by 90%
Consistent with Surveys which attribute 60% or more of failures to Human Error Case Study of Downtime Failures
Standardisation enables improved availability • Modularise • Pre-test systems in the factory • Hot swappable • Pre-Integrate Power-Cooling-Rack Management & diagnostics Standardise To Eliminate • One-Time Engineering • Unique training requirements • On-site assembly • On-site testing • Custom programming Standardisation accelerates learning at all levels, reducing human error and increasing availability
10 X Agility Availability x Value = TCO • Speed of Deployment • Ability to Scale • Ability to Reconfigure 80% less time 100% easier 100% easier Your entitlement: As much as 10 x the agility
What if…… • TheDesign Concept is built on standardised parts that can be scaled to meet the need? • Construction Design incorporates a “Lego Block” approach of pre-engineered components? • Construction is mainly done in a factory instead of on-site? • Commissioning tests pre-integrated infrastructure systems.
Agility Availability x Value = 20% less TCO • Capital Cost • Electricity Costs • Service Costs 30% less 10% less 30% less Your entitlement: As much 20% overall NCPI TCO
