Service overview• Assess seven (7) key aspects of the

data center physical infrastructure• Power• Thermal / Cooling• Network Connectivity• Pathways• Space• Floor loading• Telecommunications Bonding

• Determine if each area is “ready to receive” a FlexPod – “Yes” or “No”

• For “No” areas, determine “level of fix” required and recommend improvement actions

• Provide written “Site Readiness” report

Areas assessed…

Item Question answered

Power Is the data center providing the proper power feeds for the FlexPod – Voltage, current rating, phase, frequency, plug style, agency approval?

Cooling Do proper airflow, cabinet arrangement, aisle widths, and temperature conditions exist for the FlexPod?

Data Communications Are the required data cables – quantity, type, media, connector style, uplink ports, communications protocol – in place for the FlexPod ?

Pathways Are suitable under floor or overhead pathways present to accommodate all data and power cables going to / coming from the FlexPod?

Space Will FlexPod fit in the space provided?

Floor loading Will the raised floor support the weight of the FlexPod?

Telecommunications Bonding

Is a proper room-level telecommunications bonding & grounding system installed with available hook-ups for the FlexPod?

SM

FlexPod site readiness - Power

• Assess 17 detailed aspects needed to properly power the desired FlexPod

• Specific to each FlexPod model• Unique to each site’s FlexPod

configuration

• Ensure proper equipment, POU, and room power configuration:

• Voltage• Amperage (current)• Frequency• Single vs. 3-Phase• Delta vs. Wye topology • POU feeder plug style

• Determine if each item is 100% ready to power the FlexPod – if not, advise on needed upgrades or modifications

FlexPod site readiness - Cooling

PANDUIT Advisory Services

6

What we do…• Measure 41 inter-related parameters to

ensure proper thermal performance for the FlexPod

• Overall layout and room conditions• Raised floor air handling capabilities• Overhead air return performance• Room-level or in-row cooling unit capacities and

operating conditions• Recirculation or by-pass air issues

• Target specific air temperature ranges, air flow speeds, and air volume numbers

• Particular to each FlexPod model• Dependent on each site and FlexPod

configuration

• Verify that the data center can properly cool the FlexPod or if there will be thermal issues that require additional attention

SM

FlexPod site readiness – Networking

• Confirm that the proper data communications links are available and ready to connect to the FlexPod

• Production data connections• Management port channels• Topology and redundancy• Data cabling type, grade, and connector style• Cable routing and pathways• 36 point detailed assessment

• Get specific regarding port availability and channel counts

• Precise requirements for each FlexPod model, and individual configuration

• Detail needed improvements or additions

• Action plan for required modifications• Data communications upgrade kits available
