  1. Welcome to the Model Data Centre A New Approach Hassan Moezzi

  2. Operational Intent • Total available KW Capacity=W/m2 x area Usable Capacity of room Operational intent • Year 1 • Mid life • Expected end of life Time

  3. The Reality… • Total available KW Stranded Capacity Hot Spots Usable Capacity of room Typical Operation Operational intent Lost Lifespan • Year 1 • Mid life • Expected end of life Time Hot Spots create a mid-life crisis? Premature end-of-life for the data center.

  4. Why is there stranded capacity? • IT operation decisions have engineering impact on: • Efficiency (increased Opex through energy costs) • Resilience (increased risk of thermal downtime) • Longevity (increase in Capex caused by stranded capacity) • Causes: • IT Deployment decisions do not take into account the engineering impact of operational decisions • IT Deployment decisions do not consider air flow/cooling management

  5. Lack of Airflow Management • Did you know that all mission critical facilities lose more than 30% of their data center capacity because of hotspots? • Why? • IT Equipment is air cooled • There are no standards for cooling design of IT Equipment. • IT equipment designs change over time. • IT equipment deployment changes over time. • Data Center cooling infrastructure is fixed over its lifetime. • The owner/operator has the responsibility to deliver sufficient airflow and cooling to every piece of IT equipment at all times. Servers Switch Storage

  6. Capacity planning is impossible without airflow management Servers Same equipment, one works... one fails. Switch Storage

  7. The Physics of Airflow and Cooling No Man’s Land Equipment Manufacturer Facilities Manager There is a lack of effective communication between the Equipment Suppliers and the Building Services Industry

  8. Current Process Infrastructure Cabinets IT Equipment

  9. What you’ll see today Infrastructure Cabinets IT Equipment The Virtual Facility The Virtual Facility is a full 3-dimensional mathematical representation of the physical data center at any point in time.

  10. Many teams... One goal Engineering based decisions Business / Operational based decisions

  11. Closing Remarks • Total available KW Reclaimed Capacity Capacity of room Operating with a Virtual Facility Typical Operation Operational intent Reclaimed Lifespan • Year 1 • Expected end of life • Mid life Time “Data centers seldom meet the operational and capacity requirements of their initial design” - Gartner
