What are the top three things you would change about your data
center infrastructure if you could?
Data Center Basic Design
Top Data Center Challenges1. Optimize capital investment and available
space“We made 100% investment on Infrastructure
although we needed only 20% infrastructure at the beginning.”
• Lack of scalable solutions• Cannot “right size”• High maintenance / service costs • Infrastructure takes too much space
Top Data Center Challenges 2. Adapt to ever-changing requirements
“I consolidated five servers into one more powerful high-availability server. The new server has 2 / 3 power supplies and my infrastructure cannot support that ”
• Small changes require too much planning• Today’s infrastructure is difficult to re-locate• Increasing power density causing heat issues (42
servers in one rack!)• New Servers do not fit into old Racks
Top Data Center Challenges 3. Plan for a power density that is
increasing and unpredictable. “Servers are continuing to get smaller. I continue to bring in more power and cooling as my IT equipment changes.”
• Future power densities cannot be predicted
• Power infrastructure should be as flexible as IT systems
• Manage heat to avoid downtime
Top Data Center Challenges 4. Accelerate speed of deployment
“I need a new computer room in two weeks and it takes me six months to get it built.”
• Customization leads to long design time• Multiple vendor interfaces make
planning difficult• High level consulting required• Installation needs long planning and is
labor intensive
Top Data Center Challenges5. Lower the cost of service contracts
“I bought the 3-phase UPS system at a great price, but I was locked into an expensive service contract.”
• Servicing a UPS should be as easy as IT equipment
• Preventative failure analysis• Service costs should be “right sized” and
match the current infrastructure being used.
Top Data Center Challenges 6. Increase availability per dollar
“If I want redundancy in my power infrastructure it takes twice the space and cost.”
• Infrastructure Availability lower than IT systems Availability
• Redundancy too expensive (dollars and space)• Long runtime expensive for whole data center• “Spend or sacrifice” are today’s choices• Need “targeted availability”
Top Data Center Challenges 7. Decrease Mean-Time-To-Recovery
(MTTR) “Failure of my data center infrastructure means we will never achieve our availability goals.”
• Build in redundancy like RAID• Make systems smart
– Self-diagnosing– Predictive failure analysis
• Make systems easy to service

Top Data Center Challenges 8. Minimize points of failure between the UPS
and critical load
“Even though my computer room is supported by a centralized UPS, I still see downtime when problems occur in the distribution panel feeding my racks.”
• Reducing the number of components between the UPS and the critical load will increase availability

Critical Networks
Increase availability while decreasing your total cost of ownership

Power
Centralized (Room)- one UPS and/or central or distinct
location of the UPS
Power Protection Methodologies in the Data Center
Point-of-Use (Rack)- one UPS used to protect a single
device or rack
Zone (Row)
- a UPS (along with other components) powering a row(s) of racks or a group of non-racked equipment

Cooling
Rack Air Distribution Unit (ADU)
• 2U rack-mounted fan unit that delivers cool air to the equipment contained in a rack enclosure.
• ADU helps to eliminate temperature differences between the top and bottom of the enclosure.
• Prevents hot exhaust air from re-circulating to the inlet of the enclosure.
• Best suited for racks with load densities up to 3kW.
ARU
Air Removal: ARU
NetworkAIR Air Removal Unit (ARU)
Applications:
• Densely-populated racks in small data rooms to large data centers
• IT enclosures with cabling that blocks air exhaust in the rear
• Enclosures that exceed 3.5 kW load capacity
• 8.0 kW heat removal capacity at 1200 cfm (2040 m³/h) design airflow with one fan as redundancy and 11°C temperature rise across servers
• Drop ceiling environments where the A/C efficiencies can benefit from higher return temperatures
NetworkAIR FM
• Floor mounted precision air conditioning for IT and data center environments in 35, 40 and 50 kW modules. (10, 12, 15 tons)
• The next generation in precision cooling systems.– More efficient– More reliable– Less expensive to maintain– More intelligent
