2 Data Center Considerations TIA-942 BICSI new DC Design Manual Blades affect designs Higher Cooling requirements Under floor systems Ceiling Plenum Air Above Ceiling Ducted system Water Cooling Layouts and equipment placement is more critical than ever

3 Standards and life spans ISO generally 10 years amended as needed TIA 5 years, every 5 years they are reaffirmed, revised or rescinded IEEE until a new standard replaces it or it is revised ALWAYS CHECK REVISIONS!

4 TIA-942 Published in April 2005 Titled Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers Covers design and installation practices All data center systems are addressed either specifically or by reference AS2834 Computer Accommodation 1995

5 Main Standards/Codes for your use TIA 942, TIA 568-B.1, 568-B.2, 568-B.3, 569-B, 606-A, J-STD 607, 758-A NESC (IEEE C2) Safety Code Life Safety Code (NFPA 101) BCA (Building Code of Australia) ANSI T1.336 (Universal Telecommunications Frame) Telcordia (Gr-63-CORE and GR-139 Core) physical protection ( Europe) BICSI Various others

6 Other Sources of Information Vendors beware of false or misleading statements Active Equipment Infrastructure Equipment manufacturers better source Specifically the Techs Support Divisions Standards TechTarget ASHRAE (HVAC Guidelines and Standards) ( Source of the Tier Levels principal

23 Entrance Facilities. Primary EF Interfaces with the MC May be part of the MC May have a redundant counterpart Should be 20m away Opposite side of the building Separate conduits Handles carrier demarcations Should be separately secured/outside MC if possible Maybe extended into the Data Centre

24 Support Areas Other Loading docks Access to Goods Lift Operations center Security Rooms Personnel Mechanical Rooms Electrical Rooms Etc. Telecom Room

25 Points to consider Distance limitations due to carrier circuits Distance limitations due to equipment requirements 10GBASE-CX4 (15m) Separation of power Hot and cold aisles ( lots of Co-OP with Vendors) Density 10G Isolation considerations Cooling (What are the options) Power requirements

26 ocate your Data Center away from oise such as.. Electrical power transformers X-Ray Generators and motors Radio or Radar transmitters Induction sealing devices Lift Rooms

27 Sizing Considerations Allow 1.5m in front of cabinets (1m min) Allow 1m in back of cabinets (800mm min) Heating may change both of these! 250 lb/ft 2 recommended - min.150 lb/ft 2 Seismic considerations HVAC this is a big one! Vibration Degrades connections over time Ie Locality of Plant Rooms Grounding/Bonding single reference ( ie Ground Loops )

28 Cabinet Ventilation Beware when adding blades your cabinet may not be able to cool the units if the cabinet is fully populated Forced airflow Top Hat Fans not recommended Natural airflow Combination of both Liquid Cooling (new! Old! New and old)

29 Wire Management 250mm Vertical recommended 150mm min 1:1 on horizontal Bend radius requirements must be met

30 Cabling stuff..ed Plan accommodating growth so that you don t have to add cabling Copper and fiber addressed Must be separated from power cabling Maximum distances for all media apply New maximums based on 10GBASE-T 55m on Category 6 (TSB 155-for existing ONLY) 100m on 10G 6 or Class F/Cat 7 NO Category 5e

31 Recognized Media Category 6 minimum recommended Some coax Security Cameras, Fiber optic (50 micron fiber recommended) Limited shared sheath media due to interference Hybrid and UTP Solutions UTP, S/FTP or FTP Bus and direct connections only if needed by manufacturer

32 Base media selection on Flexibility Useful Life ( eg 10 Years ) Size/occupant population Channel capacity Equipment vendor recommendations or specifications Recommendations are only minimum

33 Data Center Considerations TIA-942 BICSI new DC Design Manual Blades affect designs Higher Cooling requirements Under floor systems Ceiling Plenum Air Above Ceiling Ducted system Water Cooling Layouts and equipment placement is more critical than ever

37 Why? Air Damming

39 Cooling Strategies Install blanks in cabinets to stop air plumes Install brushes/pillows in cabinets and floor openings Figure out your actual cooling needs Scale your cooling with your cabinets Heated air must dissipate through some means For every kw of power consumption you need equal thermal reduction!

57 Trends for 05 Gate s Law Revisited 640k ought to be enough for anybody Bill Gates, 1981 Gate s Law states that the speed of applications is cut in half every 18 months Called application bloat Let s look at Windows and Microsoft Office over the last 10 years

58 Application Growth - Bloat Office 95 Office XP Windows 95 Windows XP recommended PIII recommended 133MHz min 486 recommended 233MHz min 300MHz rec. 8 MB RAM 128 MB RAM + 8MB for each program 4 MB RAM, 8 recommended 128 MB RAM+ recommended 64MB min 40 MB min disk space 128 all features 245MB disk space + 115MB +50 MB MB 1.5 GB Disk space

59 Moore s Law Number of processors on a chip doubles every 18 months More importantly. The cost to make that chip is cut in half in the same 18 month period! 10G chips auto-negotiate between 10/100/1000/10G The same chip will eventually be mass produced and used in everything Less expensive to do one chip than multiple It may be limited to speed in SOFTWARE That is why all machines ship with Gig today!

60 10G Growth $570 million in 2005* Grow to 3.3 Billion by 2009* Copper 10G is 1% of current market expected to be 25% of market by 2009* Copper 10G ports are expected to be 3 x the cost of a 1G copper port Copper 1G ports are 1/3 the price on average of a 1G fiber port Copper offers significant savings due to the high cost of optical electronics Demand from corporations, governments and research labs CX4 is expected to be replaced with 10GBASE-T 10GBASE-T is interoperable with PoE *Study 12/10/04 Communications Industry Researchers (CIR)

61 Conclusions 10G over copper is a reality Cat 5e is not a good investment Aug. Cat 6 (Siemon 10G 6 UTP) provides much better TCO/ROI compared to cat 6 UTP TERA provides the longest lifecycle and can provide even greater savings by utilizing its ability to share one 4 pair cable/outlet and will support 40G operations in the next speed iteration.
