Panduit Data Center Solution Energy Saving Availability Scalability Security Manageability
Data Center Design Challenges Providing maximum uptime Proper planning for growth Technology upgrades Rising costs (CapEx, OpEx) Panduit Solutions TIA based Certified Panduit partner base Infrastructure expertise Design tools AutoCad & Visio Analysis tools Computational fluid dynamics for product development Cable pathway fill calculators Product configurators All products RoHS compliant
Implementation Racks and Cabinets Maximize floor space density Facilitate proper cooling practices Install blanking panels to minimize hot air recirculation (impacts delta degrees) Utilize floor grommets >50% cold air escapes through unsealed cable holes and conduits
Implementation Cost savings Reduce real estate costs by 23% Reduce installation time with 46% less components 1,500 sq. ft. Data Centre (36% space savings) Tier 1 (approx. $450 / ft. sq.): $24,300 Tier 4 (approx. $1200 / ft. sq.): $64,800 Based at 10% of entire floor space
Implementation Cabinets Prevalent in data centers Applications: Servers and switches (especially high density) Aesthetically pleasing Highly secured Wide variety, modular Cable density concerns Floor tile footprint vs. additional benefits Thermal issues Cooling airflow patterns
Implementation CFD analysis software image of front of cabinets: Reduced switch temperature in the NET-ACCESS cabinet with ducting Exhaust air prevented from re-circulating within cabinet NET-ACCESS Cabinet with Duct Cabinet without Duct
Enabling Hot Aisle/Cold Aisle Designs with High Density 6509 and 9513 Chassis Example Panduit Cabinet 45RU (32 W x 40 D x 84 H) Up to 20kW/cabinet heat rejection capability 3x6509 s or 3x9513 s per Rack Front to back airflow into Hot Aisles Integrated Cable Management Modular design to support future air handlers or spot cooling Part # CN4-1 and CN4-2 for MDS 9513 and # CN4-3 for the Catalyst 6509E
Implementation Proven performance Engineered by IBM with 30+ years in liquid cooling computers Passive operation Increased density Removes up to 60% of heat, or 20kW Allows for high-density deployment Energy efficient Lessens burden on CRAC units More efficient than fan based systems
Implementation Cabling plant Develop a strategy (current and future) Install the proper cable counts Deploy a zone cabling configuration Remove dead cables Ribbon cables: reduce the overall cable counts and bundle diameters
