3. The Purpose of a Data Center
Provide IT equipment a healthy environment to
guarantee application service levels
© Copyright 2012 Power Assure, Inc. – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
4. Data Center Requirements
• Reliability
• Required levels of power & cooling
• Support for future growth
• Service level guarantees
• Tier Definition:
– 1: Non redundant
– 2: N+1, redundant components
– 3: 2N, active/passive
– 4: 2(N+1), fault tolerant
© Copyright 2012 Power Assure, Inc. – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
5. Today’s Typical Data Center Setup
• Tier 3 or Tier 4 Data Center
– Redundancy within the data center
• At least 2 redundant data centers
– Redundancy across data centers
• Hot/Hot or Hot/Cold application failover configuration
– Redundancy of the application

8. Disasters - People Can’t Get There
Natural Disasters
•Tsunami in Japan
•Earthquake in New York
•Hurricane on East Coast
Impact
•No power for a week
•No refueling for generators
Results
•Datacenter failure when backup
generation runs out

9. Out of Electricity - Out of Fuel
• In a 7 day electricity outage – delivery vehicles run out
of fuel
• Diesel generators run out of fuel, as no supply is
available
© Copyright 2012 Power Assure, Inc. – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
10. Demand Response / Rolling Blackouts
• Required power
reduction
• Temporary outages
• Limited hours for
generators
• It can happen
everywhere and at all
times
• Heat waves, snow,
hurricanes, water
© Copyright 2012 Power Assure, Inc. – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
11. Cooling failure
• ASHRAE Limit 80.6F
• Physical Server Limit 95F
• What about 102.5F and
more?
– Servers shut down
– Cabling problems
– Outages
© Copyright 2012 Power Assure, Inc. – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
12. Failover does not work
• Primary site down
• Secondary site not
coming up
• People take
actions
• Manual recovery
• Delays and service ABB Decathlon™
outages

13. The Key: Minimize the Application Risk
• Focus on application reliability NOT physical reliability
• Real-Time monitoring across facilities and IT
• Define Service Level requirements for applications
• Remove obsolete and unused equipment to reduce power
• Optimize cooling and facility infrastructure
• Consolidate and group applications by service level
• Virtualize / setup private clouds across sites
• Automate standard operating procedures
• Participate in ancillary services and demand response

14. Virtualization and Consolidation
Default Virtualization Fixed Reservation Shared Reservation
Provisioned as 1 VM per Physical With QoS, Individually Provisioned With QoS, Group Provisioned
(use max utilization as limit for low QoS apps) (use spare capacity for low QoS apps, shared buffer)

19. The Impact of an Outage for Data Centers
Today – Reactive:
•Tier 3/4 facility redundancy
•Hot/Hot or Hot/Cold setup
•Upon failure:
– Generator kicks in, offline from grid
– Shift to secondary data center
– Run double peak capacity 24x7
Tomorrow – Proactive:
•Integration into Utility Services for
preventive actions
– Leverage co-generation capabilities
– Integrate alternative energy sources
– Automated shift and shed across sites
– Tier applications by service level
– Application reliability over facility reliability
– Data centers get paid for upgrades by
participation in energy markets

Notes de l'éditeur Disaster Recovery: The New Imperative Clemens Pfeiffer, Chief Technology Officer, Power Assure In the wake of the Japanese tsunami, it has become very clear that power availability can no longer be taken for granted. Robust, up-to-date, well-documented disaster recovery and business continuity planning is essential for all enterprise data centers, particularly in light of recent natural disasters, socioeconomic unrest and with changes to regulations impacting businesses. This session will discuss how to increase application reliability while decreasing energy consumption; how to utilize historical trending data to plan responses to alerts and situations; and the steps to structuring a data center to respond to both planned and unplanned events.
