Data Center Design Guide Charter and Scope Charter: To provide the industry with a design guide that identifies required instrumentation, efficiency and power management capabilities to be used by operators and designers to define requirements for, and to build and operate, energy efficient data centers. Scope Covers both existing (upgrades) and new facilities Designing the Data Center architecture as a whole, not in pieces Includes facility equipment (power and cooling), ICT equipment (servers, storage, networking), management software and enterprise applications (instrumentation)
Core Tenets of the Data Center Design Guide Fully Scalable: All systems/subsystems scale energy consumption and performance to use the minimal energy required to accomplish workload. Fully Instrumented: All systems/subsystems within the datacenter are instrumented and provide real time operating power and performance data through standardized management interfaces. Fully Announced: All systems/subsystems are discoverable and report minimum and maximum energy used, performance level capabilities, and location. Enhanced Management Infrastructure: Compute, network, storage, power, cooling, and facilities utilize standardized management/interoperability interfaces and language. Policy Driven: Operations are automated at all levels via policies set through management infrastructure. Standardized Metrics/Measurements: Energy efficiency is monitored at all levels within the datacenter from individual subsystems to complete datacenter and is reported using standardized metrics during operation. A guide for the standardization and evolution of key capabilities

Raising the Bar on Capabilities UPS example Core Tenant: Scalability Current status: There is currently no standard for UPS scalability. Proposed for 2012: A UPS should be designed to add or remove capacity in real time, so UPSes are always running at the optimal efficiency point (without shutting down the load, hot scalable) or automatically self-configuring. Proposed for 2012+: UPS efficiency curves should be as flat as possible, operating efficiently at any load. This which allows data centers to move away from modules. Efficiency should be 95% or higher when operating between 25-75% load.
