Data Center Design Guide Charter
and Scope
•
Charter:
To provide the industry with a design guide
that identifies required instrumentation, efficiency and
power management capabilities to be used by
operators and designers to define requirements for,
and to build and operate, energy efficient data
centers.
•
Scope
Covers both existing (upgrades) and new facilities
Designing the Data Center architecture as a whole, not in
pieces
Includes facility equipment (power and cooling), ICT
equipment (servers, storage, networking), management
software and enterprise applications (instrumentation)

Core Tenets of the
Data Center Design Guide
•
Fully Scalable:
All systems/subsystems scale energy consumption and performance to use the
minimal energy required to accomplish workload.
•
Fully Instrumented:
All systems/subsystems within the datacenter are instrumented and provide real
time operating power and performance data through standardized management
interfaces.
•
Fully Announced:
All systems/subsystems are discoverable and report minimum and maximum
energy used, performance level capabilities, and location.
•
Enhanced Management Infrastructure:
Compute, network, storage, power, cooling, and facilities utilize standardized
management/interoperability interfaces and language.
•
Policy Driven:
Operations are automated at all levels via policies set through management
infrastructure.
•
Standardized Metrics/Measurements:
Energy efficiency is monitored at all levels within the datacenter from individual
subsystems to complete datacenter and is reported using standardized metrics
during operation.

Chapter Outline
•
Introduction:
Discuss the goals and features for each category of
equipment in your group
•
Equipment description:
Provide a paragraph that defines the
equipment and how it is used
Refer to each of the six core tenets of the DCDG as a context for
discussing specific goals and features
•
Efficiency requirements: For each category of equipment, list
requirements with respect to three time periods: Current (2011),
2012 and beyond 2012
•
Profile information: features and capabilities
•
Reporting requirements: what and how
•
CIM Model and charts: measured and status info
•
Operational goals and applicable metrics: BKMs and

UPS example
Core Tenant: Scalability
•
Current status:
There is currently no standard for UPS scalability.
•
Proposed for 2012:
A UPS should be designed to add or remove
capacity in real time, so UPSes are always running at the optimal
efficiency point (without shutting down the load, hot scalable) or
automatically self-configuring.
•
Proposed for 2012+:
UPS efficiency curves should be as flat as
possible, operating efficiently at any load. This which allows data
centers to move away from modules. Efficiency should be 95% or
higher when operating between 25-75% load.
