4 01. Data Centers Maksen
5 What is a Data Center Data Centers are facilities which are specifically designed and build to house computer, storage, and telecommunications systems Source: Lifeline Data Centers Maksen
6 Evolution of Data Centers Yesterday (Early 90s 2002: Dot.com Revolution) Siloed Data Centers - Hardware has leaded the way. The Data Center is/was an infrastructure where the servers and storage are located, operated and managed. Today (2003 Today: Virtual Technology Revolution) Virtualized/Pool Data Centers - Software is leading the way. The primary goal for Data Centers is to connect users to applications. Data Centers are evolving from isolated resource islands to interconnected pools of virtualized resources shared between multiple Data Center locations helping business cut costs and maximize IT efficiency Tomorrow (2011-?: Hybrid Cloud Revolution) Dawn of Software-Defined Data Centers - Data Centers without walls Oceans of data. Everyone who works in IT will be a service provider. Source: Adapted from IDC Datacenter Interconnected 1/11 ; NetApp The Evolution of the Data Center to Software Defined Maksen
7 Types of Data Centers (1/2) There are 4 types of Data Centers (TIA Telecommunication Industry Association) TIA-942: Published in 2005, the Telecommunications Infrastructure Standards for Data Centers was the first standard to specifically address Data Center infrastructure and was intended to be used by Data Center designers early in the building development process. Tier 1 Basic, no redundant components (N): % availability Susceptible to disruptions from planned and unplanned activity Single path for power and cooling Must be shut down completely to perform preventive maintenance Annual downtime of 28.8 hours Tier 2 - Redundant Components (limited N+1): % availability Less susceptible to disruptions from planned and unplanned activity Single path for power and cooling includes redundant components (N+1) Includes raised floor, UPS and generator Annual downtime of 22.0 hours Maksen
8 Types of Data Centers (2/2) Tier 3 - Concurrently Maintainable (N+1): % availability Enables planned activity (such as scheduled preventative maintenance) without disrupting computer hardware operation (unplanned events can still cause disruption) Multiple power and cooling paths (one active path), redundant components (N+1) Annual downtime of 1.6 hours Tier 4 - Fault Tolerant (2N+1): % availability Planned activity will not disrupt critical operations and can sustain at least one worst-case unplanned event with no critical load impact Multiple active power and cooling paths Annual downtime of 0.4 hours Due to the doubling of infrastructure (and space) over Tier 3 facilities, a Tier 4 facility will cost significantly more to build and operate. Consequently, many organizations prefer to operate at the more economical Tier 3 level as it strikes a reasonable balance between CAPEX, OPEX and availability. Source: TIA Telecommunication Industry Association Maksen
9 Services & components of a successful Data Center Build room: Stacking; Configuring; Testing new systems before they go into production Monitoring: Monitoring tools sends out pings to each resources such as databases, applications, network devices. Failure to respond results in a degraded service condition report Redundancy and disaster recovery: Redundancies and back-ups provisions protect interruptions Storage: SAN Storage Area Network Fire suppression; Earthquake and seismic isolation platforms; Smoke sensors Power supply Climate & cooling systems (HAVAC); Temperature sensing system Source: Wikibon.org Maksen
10 Data Center s vital signs Strong heart: The power system (UPS, capacitors and batteries). UPS system failure costs accounted for 29% of data center outages laste year, and the average UPS related failure cost USD Sharp brain: Data center consolidation, virtualization and cloud computing help keeps your Data Center running at peak efficiency delivering real-time information, allowing you to make the best decisions to operate and maintain your infrastructure. Efficient air intake & circulation: Check the air pumping, keep temperature and humidity in the recommended range. Cooling accounts for 40% of total energy used for the average Data Center. Diet & exercise: A proactive approach to service and maintenance in the Data Center can extend the life cycle of IT equipment and delay major capital investments. Source: Adapted from Emerson s Vital Signs of a Data Center Maksen
11 Data Center s benefits Savings Switching to server virtualization can lower capital costs, reduce downtime and increase efficiency Servers Consolidating server infrastructure and leveraging automation tools drives availability Storage Software and policy-based management systems reduce labor and optimize storage Networks Big Data means that a strategic plan of action for data center is a necessity Operation & Maintenance Forecasting facility power, space, capacity and availability means less disruption Risk Management Thinking through and planning for potential risks can optimize opportunities Source: Adapted from IBM (Survey in 2013 of 300 clients, across 25 industries and seven countries) Maksen
12 Largest Data Centers Note: One sq. meter equals to sq. feet Maksen
13 Data Center s statistics (1/2) Data Centers worldwide More than Data Centers are the size of a football field In 2013, mankind has created 1,9 trillion GB of data (Every person on earth would have 16 iphones) Total investment in Data Center IT infrastructure will grow 5% on average per year to reach USD 125 billion in % of enterprises planned to add Data Center capacity due to the influx of new applications and efficiency constraints Source: Gartner: Forecast: Public Cloud Services ; Digital Reality Trust: US Campus Survey Result 1/12 Maksen
14 Data Center s statistics (2/2) In 2008, only 12% of server workloads were virtualized. 60% of server workloads are virtualized in ,75 million new servers are installed each year Average server life is 3 years Average Data Center is 9 years old (Gartner suggests that a Data Center that is more than 7 years old is obsolete) Source: Gartner: Forecast: Public Cloud Services ; Digital Reality Trust: US Campus Survey Result 1/12 Maksen
