TRANSCRIPT
Modular, Pay As You Grow, Data Centers
Trends & Case Study
Current Trends
Re-centralisation of computing facilities
• Virtualisation
• Grid Computing
Willing to spend to save (TCO reduction)
• Modernisation
Pay As You Grow
• Start small
• Low CAPEX
Customers want solution not vendors
Most large DC facilities are running out of power / space
Power and space at a premium in built up areas
Bad News Good News
Credit crunch !
Focus on reducing computing costs
• IT Hardware
• Software
• Physical infrastructure
• Energy
Increased regulation
• Basell II
• SOX
• Cauldicot
• Insurance
• Kyoto
Increased Threats
• Economical
• Environmental
• Physical
Traditional Data Center's
Organicly grown
Mixed technologes
Mixed power densities
• Poor cooling
• Hot spots
Within existing buildings / offices
• Expensive space
• Limited expansion
Poor physical security
• Standard construction
Poor location
Meets little or no industry standards
2000 - For every £1 spent on facilities, £3 was spend on IT
2010 - For every £1 spent on IT, £3 will be spend on facilities

Data Center Standards
Temperature rises > 300°CRel. Humidity up to 100%
Nothing survives within the Data Center (HW, tapes,...)
Water condensation in plenum => shortcircuits
-Environmental Contamination (human hazard): 1 kg PVC burned (at 300ºC) causes 5.800 m³ of acrid gas.
-80% of Fires affecting Data Centers, come from the outside.
Water flooding Risk: ceiling is not water proof.
Fire & Water in Conventional Data Centers
Source – Swiss RE
Flames > 1100ºC
Water Steam emitted by wet materials walls (gypsum and brick walls RF120)> 150 liters of water / m3 of concrete wall
Temperature rises < 50°C (max 70ºC as per EN1047)Rel. Humidity up to 70% (max. 85% as per EN1047)
HW operates normally.Tapes and disk preserved.
Flames > 1100ºC
NO Water Steam emitted as wall materials are dry (no wet material).
NO Water condensation in plenum: Sealed Room.
- NO Environmental Contamination (NO human hazard): NO burning possible as internal temperature is below 70oC
HIGH SECURE DATA CENTER structure (Fire resistant 120 min.)
NO Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof,but Secure Data Centre is.
Emitted steam remains out of theSmart Shelter.
The Solution
30db Reduction in HF EMC Fields.
EN 1047 Testing
Case Study
• Existing data center in converted church.
• Listed building with limited space for expansion
• Customers wanting traditional co-location & hosting as well as bespoke products.
• Limited power on existing site
• Lots of commercial properties with power and connectivity but poor physical structures / security
Problem
Solution• Purchase low cost commercial property with available power.
• Build 100% capacity in electrical and cooling back bone infrastructure.
• Develop modular build and growth model.
• Build data center using high security modular construction methods.

Case Study – The Site
Leaking roof with asbestos but solid level floor
Case Study – The SitePhased Design
Chiller &
Generator Compound• Deploy 50% power and cooling capacity with N+1 redundancy plus 100% backbone capacity.
• Install comms
• Build traditional data center for co-location hosting clients.
• Build demonstration custom facility.
• Build NOC, offices & meeting facilities.
• Migrate from existing facility.
• Occupancy threshold or new custom client triggers new build.

Mobility & Outdoors locations
• The future is MOBILE:
– A traditional DC does not meet everyone's needs• Short term projects• Disaster recovery• Remote locations• Hostile environments• Space limitations• Expensive real-estate will push DC out of
traditional urban environments
