1 Cabling a Data Center to TIA-942 Standard BICSI 2006 Winter Conference Wednesday, January 25 th 2006 at 9:15 am Gary J. Bernstein, RCDD HellermannTyton Corporation

2 Agenda Overview of TIA-942 Data Center Standard How is a data center defined? Who is the standard for? How can the standard help you better design your infrastructure? Cabling media options Examples of typical applications

3 Summary of TIA-942 Purpose is to provide requirements and guidelines for the DESIGN and INSTALLATION of a data center or computer room Will enable design to be involved early in construction process Allow for long term planning of data centers to support growth and future applications

4 Outline of Standard Design Cabling System Infrastructure Telecommunications Spaces & Topologies Cabling Systems Cabling Pathways Redundancy Informative Annexes

5 What is a data center? A building or portion of a building whose primary function is to house a computer room and it s support areas

6 Types of Data Centers Private Domain or Enterprise Public Domain

7 Data Center Design Coordination of all aspects of a data center is critical including: Telecommunications cabling system Equipment floor plan Electrical plans Architectural plan HVAC Security Lighting system

8 Recommended Design Process Estimate needs at full capacity for all equipment Anticipate future growth over life of data center Provide all requirements to architects and engineers Create an equipment floor plan Design telecommunications cabling system

9 Building Shell General Office Space Building Site TR s & ER s Serving spaces outside DC Data Center Relationship of spaces in a data center Support Staff Entrance Room(s) DC Electrical & Mechanical Rooms NOC TR(s) serving DC spaces Storage Rooms & Loading Docks Computer Room

10 Data Center Tiers Relates to levels of availability of infrastructure Tier Classifications were originally defined by The Uptime Institute Addresses critical systems of data center Critical systems may have different ratings Ratings can be degraded as data center load increases over time

11 Tier I - Basic Single path for power and cooling distribution No redundant components May not have a raised floor Susceptible to disruption from planned and unplanned activity 28.8 hours of annual downtime

12 Tier II Redundant Components Single path for power and cooling distribution Redundant components Has a raised floor Slightly less susceptible to disruptions than Tier I 22.0 hours of annual downtime

13 Tier III Concurrently Maintainable Multiple power and cooling distribution paths Only one active path Redundant Components Allows for any planned site infrastructure activity without disrupting computer hardware operation 1.6 hours of annual downtime

14 Tier IV Fault Tolerant Multiple active power and cooling distribution paths Redundant components All computer hardware must have dual power inputs Can sustain at least one worst-case, unplanned failure or event with no critical load impact 0.4 hours of annual downtime

15 TIA-942 Defines Critical Systems Telecommunications* Architectural and Structural Electrical Mechanical

16 Tier 1 Telecommunications Requirements Cabling, racks, cabinets & pathways meet TIA-942 requirements Has 1 entrance pathway from access provider to facility Single pathway for all cabling Recommended labeling per ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A and Annex B

17 Tier 2 Telecommunications Requirements All requirements of Tier 1 Has 2 entrance pathways from access provider to facility Routers & switches to have redundant power supplies and processors Addresses vulnerability of service entering building

18 Tier 3 Telecommunications Requirements All requirements of Tier 2 Be served by at least 2 access providers A secondary entrance room Redundant backbone pathways Multiple routers and switches for redundancy Addresses vulnerability of a single access provider

19 Tier 4 Telecommunications Requirements All requirements of Tier 3 Redundant backbone cabling Backbone cabling should be in conduit or have interlocking armor Optional secondary distribution area Optional redundant horizontal cabling Address any vulnerability of the cabling infrastructure

20 Telecommunications Spaces Entrance Room (ER) Main Distribution Area (MDA) Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) Zone Distribution Area (ZDA) Equipment Distribution Area (EDA)

21 Example of basic data center topology from TIA-942

23 Central point of distribution Main Distribution Area Includes the main cross-connect (MC) May include horizontal crossconnect (HC) Core routers & switches for LAN/SAN, PBX are located here Located inside computer room Must be at least one MDA

24 Horizontal Distribution Area Supports all the cabling to the equipment distribution areas Includes the horizontal crossconnect (HC) Switches for equipment in EDA located here Located inside computer room Minimum of one HDA per floor

25 Zone Distribution Area Optional inter-connection point within horizontal cabling Located between HDA and EDA Allows frequent reconfiguration and flexibility Should serve a maximum of 288 connections to avoid cable congestion Shall be no active equipment (except for DC power)

33 Backbone Cabling Topology TR Backbone Cabling Entrance Room Main Distribution Area Backbone Cabling Horizontal Distribution Area Horizontal Distribution Area

34 Cabling between ER, MDA and HDA including: Backbone cables Main cross-connects Horizontal cross-connects Patch cords Shall allow network reconfigurations and future growth Backbone Cabling

35 Cabling Pathways Data Centers shall adhere to ANSI/TIA-569-B specifications with exceptions noted in standard Cabling shall not be routed through public spaces unless enclosed in secure pathways Maintenance holes, pull boxes, splice boxes shall be locked and monitored

36 Cabling Pathways Separation of Cabling Proper distances must be maintained between electrical and twisted pair cables Branch electrical circuits should be in watertight flexible metal conduit Feeder electrical circuits to power distribution units should be in solid metal conduit If using cable tray MINIMUM of 12 between trays

37 Cabling Pathways Separation of Cabling Access Floors Allocate separate aisles for power and telecommunications cabling If not possible, then provide both horizontal and vertical separation
