The document discusses how a next generation data center can provide benefits for hosting. It outlines business drivers for data center utilization like cost reduction, security, and scalability. It then describes what a modern data center should provide, including scalability, power efficiency, and connectivity. The document uses TalkTalk as a case study, describing their approach to addressing data center challenges through their campus layout, modular design, and power efficiency measures.
The next generation - Dave Mullender
- 1. How a Next Generation data centre can make all the difference when hosting Agenda - Business drivers for Datacentre utilisation - What a modern Datacentre provides - How TalkTalk is responding to the challenge - The importance of connectivity Dave Mullender - Discussions Head of Network Services
- 2. Business Drivers for Datacentre Usage • Cost Reduction • Security • Power Efficiency • Disaster Recovery/Resilience • Scalability (up and down!) • Connectivity • Reliability
- 3. What a modern Datacentre should provide • Scalability – Future Proof delivery • Power Density • Power Efficiency • Security • Connectivity
- 4. TalkTalks Approach to the Datacentre Challenge
- 6. Campus Scalability • 14 Hectares of space • 114MVA of power available • More than 7000 racks over 5 buildings • 4 Tbits/second of configurable connectivity over multiple diverse fibre connections
- 7. Modular Design • Modular Design – Build offsite in a reliable and consistent manner – Minimal works onsite – Very short build schedules – Provides the ability to flex to future changes in requirements
- 9. Scalability

- 14. Power Efficiency • Adiabatic cooling provides dramatically more efficient cooling than traditional DX • PUE of 1.2 compared to industry average of over 2 • 99.7% of the year cooling is provided by fresh air
- 15. The TalkTalk UK network LLU exchange Planned LLU exchange Nodes 20Gbps rings 800Gbps rings 1.6Tbps rings
- 16. Discussions • A cloud service is only as good as the connectivity and storage facilities it runs from? • Do you need to know where your service is delivered from? • Does QoS matter?
