What is a Data Center?

A Data Center delivers storage, management and data dissemination services in an organized manner. These attributes are rendered as services to ensure proper operability by supporting critical infrastructural components. So, a company's intellectual property and valuable equipment are safeguarded in the facility.

What does it contain?

An ideal Data Center comprises of state-of-the-art infrastructure to carry out important functions. A few of them have been enlisted below:

Smooth processing of business transactions

Secured storage and processing of intellectual property

Prompt maintenance of financial records

Efficient email routing

Well-organized website hosting service

Rudimentary Data Center facility systems:

Physical space or footprint

Raised flooring for an elevated grid system

In-room electrical/power-related facility

Standby power/ backup power systems

Copper and fiber cabling system

Cooling systems in the form of chillers and air handlers

Fire suppression devices help to detect or extinguish fire in a Data Center

Let us discuss these points in detail.

Physical Space

It refers to the footprint of Data Center equipment. The overall area of a Data Center service and associated zones such as storage space for electrical equipment and server cabinets must be properly calculated.

Raised Flooring

An elevated grid system is installed in large Data Centers. Data cables, cool air and electrical whips along with moisture detectors, water pipes, fire suppressant cylinders and smoke detectors are transmitted through the space under a raised floor. This promotes easy management of power and smooth air flows.

In-House Electricity

In-house electrical setup includes all power-related facilities inside the Data Center. This comprises of conduits, receptacles and electrical panels. This power is supplied by a commercial power source such as a local utility and it is conditioned on-site. The voltage levels might vary.

Standby Power

All backup power systems are responsible to deliver standby power to support electrical load during power failures. Such a system comprises of large batteries as seamless power sources.

Cabling

A structured cabling within the Data Center involves copper and fiber media. These are terminated via connectors. This network comprises of multimedia boxes, fiber housings, patch panels, data faceplates, cabinets and raceways.

Cooling

Chillers and air handlers comprise of the cooling system. They help to regulate ambient temperature and control humidity inside a Data Center. Such a system incorporates efficient air conditioning. Some individual server cabinets possess systematic cooling measures to carry out effective gauging process.

Fire Suppression

Devices for the detection or extinguishing of fire in the Data Center comprise the fire suppression system. Hand-held fire extinguishers, Water sprinklers, smoke detectors and gaseous fire suppression systems constitute of the system.

Other Infrastructure Components

Devices for the detection or extinguishing of fire in the Data Center comprise the fire suppression system. Hand-held fire extinguishers, Water sprinklers, smoke detectors and gaseous fire suppression systems constitute of the system.

Conclusion

A facility with an N+1 infrastructure to manage standby power and network renders full server capacity for main and additional components. Thus, a Data Center service in India must target high availability must involve more layers of infrastructure for smooth operations.
