    DATA CENTER DESIGN

    OVERVIEW
    Presented by Horst Pfendt

    Critical Facilities Round Table


    7th QUARTERLY MEETING

    December 17, 2004


    DATA CENTER DESIGN OVERVIEW
    INTRODUCTION
    In the next couple of hours I will touch on
    various aspects of Data Center Design
    The intend today, is not to have a detailed
    discussion, but to have an overview only of
    various elements of Data Center Design
    The goal is to get feed-back in what topics the
    group is interested in so we can schedule a
    more detailed presentation in the future
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW
    The following items will be discussed:
    Project Development and Execution Process
    Organizing and Staffing
    Building Design: Interior/Exterior
    Power Distribution
    Process Cooling
    Commissioning
    Energy Efficiency
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    The Project Development and Execution


    Process (PDEP) consists of five phases
    1. Identify and Assess Opportunities
    „ Clearly frame the goal to be pursued and
    insure alignment with business objectives
    „ Perform a preliminary assessment of
    uncertainties and associated risks
    „ Plan for the next phase of the process
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    PDEP (continued)
    2. Generate and Select Alternatives
    - Generate alternatives and reduce the
    uncertainties of each alternative
    - Develop the expected value for selected
    alternatives & select the preferred
    alternative
    - Plan for the next phase of the process
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW
    PDEP (continued)
    3. Develop Preferred Alternatives
    - Fully define the scope of the alternatives &

    develop detailed execution plans


    - Check for expected value to meet business

    objectives
    - Refine estimates & economic analysis to meet

    funding requirements
    - Submit for funding approval, as appropriate
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    PDEP (continued)
    4. Execute
    „ Implement execution plan and finalize
    operating plan
    „ Collect, analyze, and share metrics and
    lessons learned
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    PDEP (continued)
    5. Operate and Evaluate
    „ Monitor performance of the asset
    „ Benchmark performance of the assets
    against objectives and competitors
    „ Share results and lessons learned
    „ Continue performance assessment and
    identify other opportunities
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    Commissioning
    „ Commissioning is a process that extends
    through all phases of the project
    „ The goal of commissioning is to obtain a
    facility that operates efficiently, according
    to the design intent
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW
    Commissioning (continued)
    „ Commissioning:
    Š Provides owners with a facility that operates in
    accordance with original design intent
    Š Reduces energy and operating costs by having systems
    function at maximum efficiency
    Š Reduces the number of contractor call backs
    Š Reduces Occupant complaints due to discomfort
    Š Provides documentation, training and education for
    operators and facility managers
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW
    Commissioning (continued)
    „ The following should be in the commissioning
    specification
    Š Responsibilities of parties involved in the project
    Š Description of the commissioning process
    Š Requirements for pre-functional performance test
    Š Requirements for functional performance test
    Š Requirements for O&M manuals
    Š Requirements for O&M training
    Š Requirements for documentation
    Š Requirements for “as-built” drawings
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW

    Energy Efficiency
    Energy Efficiency vs. Energy Conservation
    …Both activities lower energy
    consumption. However, conservation
    implies a decrease in service; energy
    efficiency must meet or exceed the quality
    of service that it replaces…
    DATA CENTER DESIGN
    OVERVIEW
    Energy Efficiency
    „ We use the EPA’s five-step approach in our energy
    efficiency management plan
    Š Lighting efficiency upgrade (Green Lights)
    Š Building tune-up (re-commissioning)
    Š Building load reduction
    Š HVAC distribution system upgrades
    Š HVAC plant upgrade
