9 What is it and why you need it Today s Server rooms and DC are designed and built using multiple, disparate vendors which gives you the client..unique solutions. Standardized Modular Scaleable Integrated Repeatable Understandable Uniqueness is for art NOT for infrastructure!

10 Introducing the revolutionary architecture.. The Efficient Enterprise integrates Power, Cooling and Management components to work seamlessly, automatically, to drive down CAPEX & OPEX and gives you, the business more power, more control and more Network Availability. The 4 C s to optimise DC efficiency four principles to ensure a more predictable, waste free DC environment that saves energy, boosts availability and positions you for the future growth; 1. Components right sized 2. Close coupling the cooling to the heat source 3. Containment of hot air 4. Capacity management

12 Right size the components Growth is good, but its unpredictable, so companies oversize their requirements, i.e. power/cooling Hot swap Intelligent Module This overkill is a huge waste of resources Our scalable, modular architecture allows you to power & cool only what you need, when you need it Pay as you grow! Hot swap Power Module, pf 1 Hot swap Battery Module Hot swap components reduces MTTR and therefore increases network availability.

13 Closed Couple Cooling Hot air will always take the path of least resistance! Heat captured and rejected to chilled water or refrigerant The innovative InRow architecture reduces the distance between the heat source and the heat removal system bringing the cooling right to where the heat is generated Cold air delivered to cold aisle More control over airflow and therefore prevents the hot exhaust gas from mixing with the ambient air or re circulating to sensitive IT equipment Hot aisle air enters from rear

14 Closed Couple Cooling Central Air Handling Unit (CAHU) Computer Room Air Handler (CRAH) In-row Air Handler (IRAH) InRow Cooling is up to 30% more efficient than traditional cooling methodologies.

15 Hot Air Containment Delivering cold air to where it s required is not often the problem but getting rid of hot air is! When the hot air exhaust generated by high density applications mixes with the cooler ambient air, the airflow around the DC becomes unpredictable and localised hot spots are created. Only a containment design managed by computer can deliver The legacy approach of adding more precisely cooling capacity the right and lowering cooling the to precisely the right load at precisely the temperature does not solve problem, which right is one of time, air distribution thereby ensuring lowest carbon footprint. The Hot Air Containment System (HACS) ensures proper airflow by completely separating supply and return air paths. The HACS seals off the hot air and captures it at its source and therefore prevents hot and cold air mixing. Airflow paths become well defined and predictable!

16 Capacity Management A crystal ball for IT needs! Enterprise Management Software applications that gives you insight into your DC over its entire life cycle. One powerful platform allows you to optimize resources, plan future needs accurately and incorporate changes smoothly Manages all IT physical infrastructure devices including: Servers Cooling UPS s PDU s Rack s Network Gear Storage APC Capacity Manager tool received 2007 Data Center Product of the Year Gold Award from Searchdatacenter.com in the capacity and power management tools category
