What are the top three things you would change
about your data center infrastructure if you
could?

Data Center Basic Design

Top Data Center Challenges

• 
  

9
Top Data Center Challenges

• 1. 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

10
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
• Todays 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

11
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

12
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

13
Top Data Center Challenges

• 5. 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.

14
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 todays choices
• Need targeted availability

15
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

NetShelter VX Core Advantages

• Cooling
• Power Distribution
• Cable Management
• Management
• Guaranteed Compatibility

24
CompatibilityFits like a Glove Guarantee

• All EIA-310 19 equipment will fit in NetShelter
  VX or your money back.
• APC is committed to ensuring that all RM
  equipment physically fits into the NetShelter VX.

Power Protection Methodologies in the Data Center

Point-of-Use (Rack) - one UPS used to protect a
single device or rack
Centralized (Room) - one UPS and/or central or
distinct location of the UPS
28
Power Protection Methodologies in the Data Center

• Zone (Row)
• a UPS (along with other components) powering a
  row(s) of racks
• or a group of non-racked equipment

29
Scalable Data Center Architecture for
Infrastructure On-DemandTM
APC has 3 standard solutions types depending on
the size of the Zone

• 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.

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 11C temperature rise across servers
• Drop ceiling environments where the A/C
  efficiencies can benefit from higher return
  temperatures
