Cost of Downtime

ƒ The Mission Critical Site is the foundation of every IT-Infrastructure

and therefore business
ƒ Failing to address this could lead to serious losses
Tier Considerations

– Best practices / “semi-standards”

• Uptime Institute guidelines

• ANSI/TIA-942 (telecom infrastructure for data centres)

• SS507 (Information and communications technology disaster recovery services)

• ISO/IEC-24762 (International guideline for BC/DR)

• Vendor Specific (SUN, IBM, HP, APC and others)

– Other organizations are working on potential new standards such as energy

efficiency for data center's etc.
Tier Considerations

• Tier-1 Data Centre; Basic

– Single path for power and cooling without redundancy. Many single points of failure

• Tier-2 Data Centre; Redundant Components

– Single path for power and cooling with component redundancy i.e. N+1.

• Tier-3 Data Centre; Concurrently Maintainable

– Multiple paths for power and cooling of which one is active allowing maintenance
or testing on one path without causing interruption to the critical load

• Tier-4 Data Centre; Fault Tolerant

– Multiple active paths for power and cooling with redundancy in each path
TIA-942 Tier Considerations

Data Center Tier level is NOT only defined by power and cooling supply only

• There are four main categories to assess

– Architectural
• 23 sub categories
• 104 criteria

– Electrical
• 24 sub categories
• 69 criteria

– Mechanical
• 10 sub categories
• 35 criteria

– Telecom
• 1 sub category

water buffer tank.

The hot water is getting pumped to

the absorber cooling machine where
through a chemical reaction the
warmness would be changes to
cooling (near without mechanical
power, only a pump).

The cold water can be used for air

cooling systems (closed control unit
or direct rack cooling systems).

Data Center power modularity Data Center Power System
Data Center power modularity

Uninterrupted power supply ( UPS )

• Two main type of UPS technologies are used in data

center environments

• Static UPS

– Build up out of electronic components such as rectifier,

inverter, control logic and batteries

• Dynamic UPS

– Build up out of mechanical components such as diesel

engine, power generator and flywheel (kinetic storage)
Data Center power modularity

Static UPS

• Relative complex power and control electronics

• Requires a controlled environment

• Requires batteries

– Need to be replaced typically every 3-4 years for 5- year design life and every
7-8 years for 10-year design life
– Chemical waste
– Unknown cost factor (SLA batteries price increased 30-50% over the last few years
due to lead pricing)

• One of the oldest UPS technologies used for data center environments

• Available in 500VA – 800kVA in single systems

Data Center power modularity

Dynamic UPS

– Takes up the least amount of space, next to Halon
– Widely used in data centers
– Some countries do not allow, or restrict, the usage of FM200 such as Denmark,
Iceland, Switzerland etc.
– Under review in other countries
Data Center Fire Suppression System

Data Center Fire Prevention System
Eliminate the risk of fire to start

™ Fire prevention system

offers active fire prevention. The oxygen content of a room is controlled

using a patented conditioning technology. The reduction is so precise
that in a given room a fire cannot start yet people can continue to be
present without any side effects. This oxygen reduction is aided by
nitrogen, which is generated from normal atmospheric air.
Data Center Fire Prevention System
A New Dimension in Smoke Detection

TITANUS systems have been developed from the very successful TITANUS
range.

TITANUS has been developed as a simple and low cost air sampling system
replacing point smoke detectors where;
o access is likely to be a problem
o demanding aesthetics require no ceiling accessories
o the risk environment is too harsh

A new and high power LED light source means the system sensitivity can also
be increased to protect smaller EDP applications. To maximize flexibility the
system is available with either one or two detector modules.

High Sensitivity
TITANUS has excellent response behaviour to all EN54 test fires. Depending
on application a high sensitivity of up to 0.05 % /m light obscuration can be
set. This sensitivity level is capable of providing early warning in smaller EDP
applications.
Data Center Fire Prevention System
Data Center Security System

Security Systems
• Security has to implemented at various levels

– Physical layer (perimeter, building, data center..)

– Infrastructure layer (network, servers etc.)
– Organizational layer (people, process etc.)

• Security is limited by the weakest link…

Data Center Security System

™ Biometrics
