2 Discussion Areas Short Discussion Process Planning Phase Requirements Design Implementation Plan Execution Phase Day of Move Plan Data Center Relocation Process Five Keys to a Successful DCR Summary

3 Short Discussion How many are involved in DC operations? How many have ever relocated a DC? How many use any DCIM platform?

4 Process

5 Requirements Process Present Method of Operation (PMO) Network Infrastructure Server Infrastructure Storage Infrastructure Application Dependencies Maintenance Contracts Warranties Service Level Agreements Power Usage Etc. Desired Future State (DFS) Network Infrastructure Server Infrastructure Storage Infrastructure Application Dependencies Maintenance Contracts Warranties Service Level Agreements Power Usage Etc.

6 Requirements Process Consists of organizing a lot of information Information that will be reused Information that will change a lot Information that shows interactions Paper Excel Word Access Visio Or

7 Data Center Infrastructure Management Tool Definition: Software that automates the management control and predictive intelligence required to optimize the use of power, cooling, and space within a data center

8 DCIM Value Proposition Improves Accuracy Improves Productivity Improves Flexibility Enhances Planning Capability Supports Projects and Operations Provides Process Framework

9 Design Process If PMO and DFS provide the starting and ending points of a data center relocation project The design provides the roadmap you will take!

10 Design Process Common design decisions include: New network equipment or reuse old Optimization options P2V Blades Decommission Update Storage Outsourcing Opportunities Data Center Facility Choices

11 Design Process Design choices must be consistent with the Desired Future State or the Desired Future State must be adjusted Plans should be documented and approved before the next phase begins Can be loaded into DCIM for management

12 Process Discover and document assets and visualize the data center floor Visualize and baseline space and power consumption Which racks are running hot (maybe I should redesign and move those first) Document and visualize position of assets in the cabinet Know exact asset locations for moves Document and visualize how devices are cabled for power and network Identify orphaned servers You have to know what you have before you can move

13 Implementation Planning Process Takes all the design decisions, as well as logistics and puts them into a schedule Responsible parties Dates and timelines Expected results Dependencies

14 Implementation Process Last checkpoint prior to execution Must be approved before execution begins Must be consistent with the DFS and design Once approved, can be managed with DCIM and other project management tools

15 Implementation Process Set up process/workflow to handle moves, retirements, replacements What is the process for each use case? Who is responsible, what are the approval processes Establish how you want to enforce (ITIL ) best practices Close the loop on move, add changes Answers the question: How do I know everything moved properly?

16 Execution Phase Day of Move Plans Very detailed planning effort Consists of prerequisite checklist and tightly planned move schedule (15-30 minute increments) Each move event has its own plan

17 Execution Phase Data Center Relocation Process Logistics Experience Logistics Appropriate Tools Logistics

18 Five Keys to a Successful DCR Project 1. Experienced Project Management Not a project to learn how to be a PM 2. Planning 75% of the effort is planning / 25% execution Good planning equals good results 3. Logistics 4. Appropriate Resources People have to have time to do this work 5. Management Support Time Money Expertise They have to have your back!

19 Summary You have to use the right process You have to have the right tools You have to have the right people You have to have the right partners
