A SYSTEM THAT SEAMLESSLY TRANSFERS TO A STANDBY SYSTEM FOLLOWING A

SUBSYSTEM FAILURE

THIS PREVENTS DISRUPTION OF THE SUPPLY & THEREFORE AN OUTAGE

FAULT TOLERANT


Design Considerations Concurrent Maintainability

A system that allows maintenance of the equipment / components within the system

without any disruption of the supply

The level of reliability during the maintenance

is reduced as a result of shutting down the

equipment / components

Single path for power and cooling distribution, redundant components, 99.741% availability.

Multiple power and cooling distribution paths, but only one path active, redundant components, concurrently maintainable, 99.982% availability.

Multiple active power and cooling distribution paths, redundant components, fault tolerant, 99.995% availability.

In general, International Banks, Financial Institutions, ISP, Hosting Sites, etc, will require at least a Tier 3 infrastructure.

The Mechanical Space – Chilled Water

Loss of Chilled Water – Temperature Rise in the

Data Centre


Server Thermal Management System

● The system ensures that Servers are not damaged due to fast changes in environmental conditions

● Changes in temperature should be less than 5OC over 60 mins

● Typically the first warning level for server is issued at 55OC.

● Typically the second and critical level is at 65OC

● The difference between the inside of server and Data Centre is 30-35OC.

Virtualization and consolidation

Summary

What density strategy

should I choose when

virtualizing my servers?

A spectrum of possibilities exists, each having a

different set of consequences. The most common

strategy chosen is to consolidate the post-

virtualized servers.

How do I implement a

high density

environment?

A variety of solutions are offered that align with

high density deployment strategies. pods are the

most common solution chosen. Closely-coupled

hot and cold air streams allow for predictable and

efficient cooling.

Have I maximized my

virtualization efficiency

benefit?

Virtualization is fully leveraged when power and

cooling are right-sized to the post-virtualization

load. In addition, predictable row-based, close-

coupled cooling deployments further increase

data center efficiency.
