Data Center Considerations

• TIA-942• BICSI new DC Design Manual• Blades affect designs

– Higher Cooling requirements• Under floor systems• Ceiling Plenum Air • Above Ceiling Ducted system• Water Cooling

• Layouts and equipment placement is more critical than ever

Page 3: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Standards and life spans

• ISO – generally 10 years – amended as needed• TIA – 5 years, every 5 years they are reaffirmed,

revised or rescinded• IEEE – until a new standard replaces it or it is revised• ALWAYS CHECK REVISIONS!

Page 25: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Points to consider

• Distance limitations due to carrier circuits• Distance limitations due to equipment requirements

– 10GBASE-CX4 (15m)

• Separation of power • Hot and cold aisles ( lots of Co-OP with Vendors)• Density

– 10G Isolation considerations

• Cooling (What are the options)• Power requirements

Page 26: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Locate your Data Center away from Noise such as..

• Electrical power transformers• X-Ray• Generators and motors• Radio or Radar transmitters• Induction sealing devices• Lift Rooms

Page 27: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Sizing Considerations…• Allow 1.5m in front of cabinets (1m min)• Allow 1m in back of cabinets (800mm min)

– Heating may change both of these!

• 250 lb/ft2 recommended - min .150 lb/ft2

• Seismic considerations• HVAC – this is a big one!• Vibration

– Degrades connections over time– Ie Locality of Plant Rooms

• Grounding/Bonding – single reference ( ie Ground Loops )

Page 28: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Cabinet Ventilation

• Beware when adding blades – your cabinet may not be able to cool the units if the cabinet is fully populated

• Forced airflow• Top Hat Fans not recommended• Natural airflow• Combination of both• Liquid Cooling (new! Old! – New and old)

Page 29: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Wire Management

• 250mm Vertical recommended 150mm min• 1:1 on horizontal• Bend radius requirements must be met

Page 30: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Cabling stuff….

• Plan accommodating growth so that you don’t have to add cabling

• Copper and fiber addressed• Must be separated from power cabling• Maximum distances for all media apply• New maximums based on 10GBASE-T

– 55m on Category 6 (TSB 155-for existing ONLY)– 100m on 10G 6 or Class F/Cat 7– NO Category 5e

….ed

Page 31: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Recognized Media

• Category 6 minimum recommended• Some coax Security Cameras,• Fiber optic (50 micron fiber recommended)• Limited shared sheath media due to interference

– Hybrid and UTP Solutions

• UTP, S/FTP or FTP• Bus and direct connections only if needed by

manufacturer

Page 32: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Base media selection on…

• Flexibility• Useful Life ( eg 10 Years )• Size/occupant population• Channel capacity• Equipment vendor recommendations or specifications

– Recommendations are only minimum

What is ANEXT

• Alien Near End X Talk• Out of channel noise• Very difficult to test• Pair to Pair noise In different

cables• Noise coupling has identical

characteristics

Page 52: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Mitigation Techniques

• Improve Insertion Loss: 1dB insertion loss improvement provides the same effect as 1dB ANEXT mitigation

• Un-Bundle Cables• Separate Pathways and separation at distributors• New DSP technologies• Port Separation in Panels and TO’s• Screen/Shielded cables, cords and outlets

Page 53: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

To Shield or Not to Shield• Shielding will protect your conduit fill ratios• ScTP (F/UTP) contains a foil around the cable• Category 7/Class F cable includes a shield around

each pair and an overall braid shield– Heartiest cable on the market– Cable sharing benefits allow 2-10/100 connections in one R45

footprint– New 2 pair gigabit standard ONLY for TERA

• Some companies/countries prefer shielded systems• ANEXT is NOT an issue with shielding

Trends for ‘05• Gate’s Law Revisited

• “640k ought to be enough for anybody”– Bill Gates, 1981

• Gate’s Law states that the speed of applications is cut in half every 18 months– Called application bloat

• Let’s look at Windows and Microsoft Office over the last 10 years…

Moore’s Law• Number of processors on a chip doubles every 18

months• More importantly….

– The cost to make that chip is cut in half in the same 18 month period!

• 10G chips auto-negotiate between 10/100/1000/10G• The same chip will eventually be mass produced and

used in everything• Less expensive to do one chip than multiple• It may be limited to speed in SOFTWARE• That is why all machines ship with Gig today!

10G Growth• $570 million in 2005*• Grow to 3.3 Billion by 2009*• Copper 10G is 1% of current market expected to be 25% of

market by 2009*– Copper 10G ports are expected to be 3 x the cost of a 1G copper

port– Copper 1G ports are 1/3 the price on average of a 1G fiber port

• Copper offers significant savings due to the high cost of optical electronics

• Demand from corporations, governments and research labs• CX4 is expected to be replaced with 10GBASE-T• 10GBASE-T is interoperable with PoE

• *Study 12/10/04 Communications Industry Researchers (CIR)

Page 61: 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value · 100 Years of Quality, Service, Innovation and Value Presented by ... Data Center Considerations •TIA-942 • BICSI new DC

Conclusions

• 10G over copper is a reality• Cat 5e is not a good investment• Aug. Cat 6 (Siemon 10G 6 UTP) provides much better

TCO/ROI compared to cat 6 UTP• TERA provides the longest lifecycle and can provide

even greater savings by utilizing its ability to share one 4 pair cable/outlet and will support 40G operations in the next speed iteration.
