Comparison: Office Cabling <> Data Center Cabling Office Cabling: Static after installation Technology cycle: 5-10 years Lower density acceptable Downtimes less critical Physical environment less important Data Center Cabling: Dynamic Technology cycle: 3-5 years Highest density required Downtimes very critical Physical environment very important
- 13. Data Center – Infrastructure Requirements Highest Reliability and Availabilit y (= Quality ). High Infrastructure Performance to support various kinds of services. Shortest Deployment Time for Moves, Adds & Changes (MAC’s). Highest Density of all equipment. Redundancy Support to save Power Best possible control via Network and Infrastructure Management (including reliable documentation).

Editor's Notes
- #9: Power including the power to remove the heat created in the data center has many root causes. If a customer wants to reduce their operational costs associated with power and cooling as well as increasing the useful life of their data center facility, they will need to address data center power in a more holistic fashion, and address issues such as cooling which have historically been less important
- #29: All these concerns and the market trends brings us with the consequences of shown chaos… It is obvious that in this case it is a nightmare to handle yout cords. How are you going to document this. After 1 year at east 30-40% of the patchcordds are just hanging there and will not been used anymore. Drawback of this is that the switches will loose capacity due to the unused capacity. Think about how time consuming it is for the technician to do a job when he’s in front of such a mess. Funny thing about this picture is that explicitly is asked to DO NOT TOUCH ANY OF THESE WIRES. Offcourse if we look ninto the operational cost it is going skyhigh. Not only the additional floorspace is needed but this curtain of cords is blocking the airflow of the electronic components, again this influences the power and cooling requirements.
