Agenda • Why is data center management important? • What can be achieved with effective data center management? • The data center facility lifecycle • Data center facility lifecycle tools

Why Is Data Center Management (DCM) Important?

Why Is DCM Important? • IT requirements continually outpace facility capacity leading to ever increasing availability failure rates • We are running out of the skilled labor needed to design and operate data center facilities • Data center operators everywhere are running out of space, power and cooling simultaneously • The costs of operating a data center are rising dramatically as the cost of both raw commodities and energy rise • Power densities on a per rack basis are on the rise

The Grim Reality • DCI -- By 2015, the talent pool of qualified senior level technical and management data center professionals will shrink by 45% • AFCOM -- 71% will need to physically expand their data center and/or outsource some applications in the next 10 years due to business growth, aging facilities and new technology • DCI -- Over the next five years power failures and limits on power availability will halt data center operations at more than 90% of all companies

The Grim Reality • ARI -- 2/3 were not planning to build new data centers due to the cost and time it takes to complete such a project • AFCOM -- 81. 2% of members have experienced a data center failure in the last five years • DOE -- 100% probability of another ‘August 14, 2003’ wide area outage in the next five years

AFCOM Survey Results • What are the greatest facility problems in data centers? • • • 29% Excessive Heat 29% Insufficient Power 21% Insufficient Floor Space 6% Poor Location 3% Excessive Operating Costs 13% None of the Above

What Can be Achieved with Effective Data Center Management?

What Can Be Achieved With DCM? • Better predictability of space, power, cooling capacity and redundancy limits means more time to plan on ways to mitigate their affect • Increased real-time availability of IT operations as a result of an enhanced understanding of the present state of the power and cooling infrastructure and environment • Reduced operating cost from energy usage effectiveness and efficiency as well as operator effectiveness from the use of automated tool sets

Power Usage Effectiveness And Saving PUE = 1. 7 If a Water-Side Economizer is installed, can achieve a PUE = 1. 4

Real-Time Monitoring -- BMS • Building Management System (BMS) is a computer based control system installed in buildings that controls and monitors the building’s mechanical and electrical equipment such as air handling and cooling plant systems, lighting, power systems, fire systems and security systems.

Real-Time Monitoring -- NMS • A Network Management System (NMS) is a combination of hardware and software used to monitor and administer a network as opposed to controlling it. • An NMS is commonly a suite of software applications which allow large-scale system and network management of an organization's IT infrastructure.

Real-Time Monitoring -- DCMS • A Data Center Monitoring System (DCMS) uses a combination of hardware and software to monitor and administer a data center or computer room facility.

Real-Time Monitoring Tools Power Strips and Branch Circuit Monitoring • By cabinet versus by device Temperature and humidity • RLU inlet temperature UPS, PDU and CRAC • SNMP data IT infrastructure • IPMI data
