The Requirements
Technology Infrastructure• Build and plan/prepare for large growth in IT/ASP services.• Ensure High Availability• Ensure Security of Data transaction processing• ‘Crystal-Ball’ future (2yr) power requirements against
technological improvements.• Do all this in 6 months beginning 2003 with sensitivity to
Capital and on-going Operational costs with adequate capacity to carry 24 months until ‘Final Bunker’ built
• Plan for Bunker, establish Strategic direction

The Process
Steps• Evaluate Requirements
– Centralised Management– Physical and Logical security– 7x24 Monitoring of environment and systems– Lowest possible Capital/Operational costs– Ensure ability for Failover and Independent Operations
• Evaluate Technology Options– Innovative (InfraStruxure ™) – Traditional (Over engineer, Power, UPS, HVAC, Space)

Traditional ApproachSteps:• Bricks and Mortar Space built with 5+ year view• HVAC Installed for entire space volume
– General space must be cooler to ensure racking is kept within specified environmental limits (Temperature and Humidity)
– Redundancy imperative• Power engineered for 3+ year view• UPS + Redundancy engineered for 3+ year view
– Typically supplied throughout Datacentre– All servers/services treated equally
• Environmental Monitoring established– Typically monitors entire environment as a whole
• Fire Detection and Suppression engineered for whole space• Physical Security established

Steps:
• Bricks and Mortar Space built with 5+ year view• HVAC Installed for current rack space volume only
Normal/ergonomic environmentals for People space while Computer environmentals in Computer space
Redundancy as required• Power engineered for 3+ year view• UPS + Redundancy engineered for Current year
Typically supplied as business dictates Ability to address specific rack/server/service requirements
• Environmental Monitoring established Granularity to specific locations in Racks (H,M,L)
• Fire Detection and Suppression engineered for whole space
• Physical Security established
