Large Data Center, Total system for efficiency WFES January 2010

Large Data Centers Making the connection RACK ROW ROOM BUILDING for total system efficiency and availability

Active energy management architecture from power plant to plug Compatibility across key application areas Leveraging open standards between Schneider Electric and third-party suppliers 3

Data center governance Industry-wide movement is underway to shape policy and behavior The Green Grid global consortium is dedicated to standards, measurement, processes, and technologies to improve data center performance is a founding member and on the board of directors of The Green Grid The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is defining data center efficiency standards (Energy Star ratings) The European Commission s Institute for Energy is defining a Code of Conduct for data center efficiency Enterprise companies are starting to make public carbon commitments Efficiency can t t be ignored anymore 4

DCPI is. Data Center Physical Infrastructure IT floor The white space Covering all levels of power, cooling, rack systems, security, management that support the IT equipment Our complete end-to to-end view has profound implications for AVAILABILITY and EFFICIENCY 5

Challenges converging on data centers IT density is increasing, and is outstripping the capabilities of traditional power and cooling infrastructure Centralization of distributed data centers Virtualization and on-demand computing Design & build cycle time needs to be faster and more predictable Volatile business climate requires exceptional data center agility to keep pace IT technology changes offer significant business advantage to early adopters Energy efficiency is now a global issue Data centers are in the spotlight due to high energy usage that continues to increase Energy cost and availability are affecting the bottom line 6

all putting pressure on AVAILABILITY AVAILABILITY is the ever-present key challenge for data centers These challenges are interrelated, so solutions must take a broad SYSTEM view 7

Solutions A whole-system approach for across-the-board benefits Component reliability is now a given Reliable devices and subsystems are available from many vendors The next step: Shift focus to integrated reliability of the entire system High component efficiency is typically OPEX friendly but CAPEX unfriendly High-efficiency system designs Surprisingly, whole-system solutions can be CAPEX friendly as well as OPEX friendly* LEED Certification designed to promote design and construction practices that increase profitability while reducing the negative environmental impacts of buildings A solutions approach provides advantages in RELIABILITY, EFFICIENCY, and COST * Davis Langdon study: Cost of Green Revisited 8 http://www.davislangdon.com/upload/images/publications/usa/the%20cost%20of%20green%20revisited.pdf
