Dynamic Business Climate 2 3/19/2018 Hard-Wired Data Center

Yesterday’s infrastructure Built one server at a time Line of business selects application Get purchase approvals Project planning meetings Order server And more meetings server network storage facilities Server delivery unpack inventory Move to test center • Move to production environment Re-cable and move into production Many people Many manual steps • Many weeks • Human error • Change control approvals Build process

Today’s integrated infrastructure Provisioned when needed Line of business selects application Verify resource allocation (self-service portal) Choose infrastructure application template (right size? , right app? ) Tool determines available resources and when Less people • A few automated steps • Push “go” Integrated information • Same functionality for virtual and physical servers – no compromises! • Workflow starts automatically A full application infrastructure up and running!

General Industry DC cooling Best Practices 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Hot aisle/cold aisle Eliminate gaps in rows Use longer rows Use blanking panels Orient AC units perpendicular to hot aisles 6. Use 0. 8 m to 1. 0 m high floors Results 7. Seal cable cutouts in… 8. Use high/low density areas matching airflow requirements. 9. Deploy power efficient platforms 10. Enable server power management features Lower server temperatures • Better system reliability • Better uptime • Extends life of current data center • Maximizes server density • Increased reliability of your servers • Lower energy usage • Lower TCO • 27

Datacenter Environmental Edge HP Datacenter Environmental Edge is a Datacenter Environmental Visualization Solution with • • • Wireless Rack level temperature and humidity sensors every 3 rd rack 6 External and 2 internal sensors per rack, Air pressure sensors every 500 ft 2/50 m 2, Other optional sensors as needed, (i. e. KWH, Chilled water flow) Graphical visualization interface providing Datacenter temperature, humidity & air pressure Services required − Hardware and Software installation − System commissioning − Post deployment support. 28

Conventional Room Control and Sensing Room Level Temperature Sense Points T Blower & Motor T T AC Unit CW supply Air Movers and control Chilled Valve Room Chilled Water Supply − Conventional control is a carry over from room level comfort cooling, − Conventional control regulates the return air temperature to a given setpoint. Typically this is 68 -72°F. − Conventional control results in very cold air being supplied to the room ~ 55°F on average due to mixing in the room. − Fans are typically fixed speed running continuously at 100% − Individual Air Handlers are self controlled and not coordinated.
