- 1. Value Engineering Methodologies applied to Structured Cabling Systems & ICT Rooms - or HOT tips on how to reduce the cost of quality by 30% John Laban RCDD & Chris Miller SOCTIM Conference Brighton 17 October 2005
- 2. What's important ? “ The single most important challenge facing managers today is having to do more with less” survey result London Business School
- 3. Teaching bridge design or where the UK ICT industry is today If a bridge designer is educated and certified by a concrete manufacturer then the bridge will be made predominately from Steel ? Stone ? Concrete ? Will this bridge be the optimal design solution ? What will it look like?
- 4. A concrete bridge !!!! 4,000,000 cubic metres of concrete Optimal volume of concrete keeps manufacturer happy Unnecessary cost for end user Wasteful and unsustainable And its not GREEN
- 5. Vendor independent design education & professional certification Results in Optimal economy form function value ………… Beauty ............................................> I couldn’t find a GREEN one
- 6. Bridges & Cabling Bridges are vehicle & animal transport systems only certified professionals design bridges Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) are Information Transport Systems only certified professionals should design SCS’s my dream ………………
- 7. Education & Skills Education - first vendor independent certification is education education provides a firm foundation forms the basis for professionalism Skills - second must follow on from education vendor certification is skills training builds upon a foundation of education
- 8. What's the goal ? global best practice

- 10. Today's leading edge …but your tomorrow 200+ Blade servers in a single cabinet 16 blade servers per 3U of cabinet space LAN Ethernet switches LAN switches with over 1,000 ports two 6kW power supplies in a core switch Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches supplies additional 20W per port all user drops “live”
- 11. Power issues Standard 16 kW high density cabinet equivalent to 4 conventional ovens Can reach 30 kW in a cabinet but is this really a good idea in an imperfect world? Available power – don’t under estimate your needs
- 12. Cooling issues Air versus liquid cooling facts & figures Enclosures advantages, drawbacks, usage High density areas versus ‘diffused’ site configuration Design out the HOT spots
- 13. HOT Tips Have a strategy you will get burnt with the tactical approach Keep an eye on low-density equipment ‘power creep’ you may be about to loose your UPS/cooling N+1 redundancy Better discipline within rooms and cabinets hot isles and cold isles patching cords & cable management use blanking plates to avoid internal recycling watch out for sideways air flows on large LAN switches choice of cabinet mesh front and rear doors Try before you buy consider using 3D Computational Airflow Modelling No one size fits all solution look at your existing situation, organisational needs going forward internal disciplines & best practice site restrictions, etc.
- 14. John kicks of Chris Value Management Timing The earlier in the project, the greater the cost reduction potential and the less cost to change Planning Design Construction O & M Cost Reduction Potential Cost to change Typically 30% Typically 10% When the baby is born the baby is born Source TF Group
- 15. Functional analysis All cost is function Always question function spring loaded shutters on RJ45 wall sockets RJ45 interfaces on LAN switches Always check for duplication of function locks on doors doors containers within containers fan trays support structures Encourage disruptive thinking
- 16. Stupid 01 High level cable entry into telecommunications room bottom entry “ wasted cable” Access floor required UK practice Enclosed Cabinet solution top entry “ optimal cable length” No access floor required global best practice Open Frame solution
- 17. Stupid 02 Fan trays in top of cabinets Understand airflows LAN switch
- 18. Stupid 03 Perfectly formed cable bundles
- 19. Stupid 04 100% Game-boy cable verification
