The document discusses several challenges in traditional data centers, including poor efficiency when space is not fully utilized, designs focused on long-term use leading to poor capital expenditure, and high risks due to technology changes, air flow management strategies, and water distribution issues. It also examines relationships between hardware, power, cooling, density, and space constraints as well as trade-offs between availability and efficiency in data center design.
challenges in data center
- 1. The real challenge in Data Center
- 2. The data center real challenge is not the individual discipline and parts on it but the opposing effect of each it has onto one another - which needs to be monitored and controlled
- 3. Trade mark of Traditional Data Center 1. poor efficiency till the room is full 2. "for long term use" design - poor capex investment 3. too many risk involved a. technology change b. air flow management strategy c. water distribution
- 4. Data center hardware-environment relationship Density per Cooling unit space HARDWARE Eqpt Power
- 5. Data Center Challenges (Power and Space) Cabinet Rack &nd Power density Floor Space
- 6. Data Center Challenges Capacity - Cooling and Space Rack Density Cooling Floor Space Cooling Distribution Needs
- 7. Data Center Challenges (cooling and power) Concern area Equipment Cooling Cooling Equipment Supply Demand Max. Draw Power = Breaker Power * 80% Max. Actual Usage = Breaker Power * 50%
- 8. Capacity Management • Optimize Use – Reduce the gap between the actual usage and design • Right-Size – Reduce the gap between the supply and demand
- 9. Relationship of Availability to Efficiency Availability As you increase the service availability the efficiency of the Data Center drops since more equipment needs to be powered up and cool down for the same number of service. The density of equipment also affect the way the Data Center is being cooled down. Efficiency
