Data Center World – Certified Vendor Neutral Each presenter is required to certify that their presentation will be vendor-neutral. As an attendee you have a right to enforce this policy of having no sales pitch within a session by alerting the speaker if you feel the session is not being presented in a vendor neutral fashion. If the issue continues to be a problem, please alert Data Center World staff after the session is complete.

Oracle Project Cell 2.1 – A Critical Space Journey: Innovation, Efficiency and Simplicity This case study presentation will explore Oracle’s critical space design journey of its latest data center build in West Jordan, Utah. The 30,000 square foot facility is an object lesson in “dematerializing” the data center, eliminating unnecessary hardware and leveraging advances in modern design and technology, particularly in electrical infrastructure. The end result: a leading edge data center driving innovation, efficiency, reliability and simplicity.

“If the internet turns out not to be the future of computing, we’re toast. But if it is, we’re golden.” - Larry Ellison, Founder and CEO, in 1998

Commitment to Cloud Services “Oracle is shifting the complexity away from IT, and moving it out of the enterprise by engineering hardware and software to work together – in the cloud and in the data center.” — Oracle’s Website

Commitment to Technology “Technologically, Oracle is committed to innovation, leadership, and excellence, and has invested more than US$34 billion in research and development since 2004.” — Safra Catz, Oracle CEO Oracle’s 2014 Corporate Citizenship Report

Translating Values into Data Center Build The Journey: Evaluate, Pivot and Adapt Internal alignment between lines of business, real estate and facilities Look back at what we have done Define what has worked and what hasn't Work to understand current technologies Adapt from the past and move forward

Austin Data Center - 2002 82,000 SF compute space – up to 2,200 19-inch racks Primary power supply –dual power active power feeds UPS – fully redundant, 8.1 MW Backup diesel generators Fuel storage: 80,000 gallons Water storage: 50,000 gallons Six 600-ton chillers

UCF Development Plan

More Efficiency- Cut Corporate PUE by 6% Utah Compute Facility Phase 1 More Efficiency – Cut Corporate PUE by 6% More Efficiency- Cut Corporate PUE by 6% Energy Director Evaporative Cooling Overhead/ Direct Air 2N Electrical Distribution Austin Data Center Utah Compute Facility

Utah Compute Facility Phase 1 - 2011 25,000 SF of compute space, up to 1,019 24-inch racks Primary power supply Single source power feeds Utility backup for concurrent maintenance UPS, N+1 design, 7.2 MW capacity Backup diesel generators (8) 2.2 MW Detroit generator sets Fuel storage: 28,000 gallons Four 1,000-ton chillers

Utah Compute Facility Phase 1 Successes On time / under budget Successful installation of new technology Innovative mechanical concepts 90% data hall utilization 2014 ASHRAE award (Honorable Mention)

Lessons Learned for the Business Drivers to consider phased build: Took 2 years to reach 90% capacity Inefficient use of capital Better tailor building technology to Compute Equipment the business is implementing With rapid change in technology and new features – don’t expand unless it’s absolutely essential Before we spend more $$$, prove it is smart for the business

UCF Development Plan

Phase 2 Development Model “Build as You Grow” Model Avoid stranded capacity and infrastructure Flexible and adaptable infrastructure design Modular Continue to improve efficiency

Utah Compute Facility - Phase 2 More Efficiency Phasing: 6 Identical Phases Indirect Evaporative Cooling Block Redundant Topology Flywheel UPS Concurrently Maintainable Electrical Topology Tight Containment Chiller Plant Parallel Generator Plant Static UPS Raised Access Floor Operational Complexity UCF Phase 1 UCF Phase 2 Operations, Innovation, and Efficiency

Utah Compute Facility Phase 2 - 2015 30,000 SF compute space in 6 modules Can be single or dual cord powered, 7.2 MW capacity Block redundant topology Indirect evaporative cooling system Overhead supply/return hot/cold deck Contained hot aisles No raised floor

Electrical Design Drivers Maximize data hall space More efficient use of equipment Eliminate batteries Bring medium voltage into the building Simplify operations and maintenance Incremental growth and deployment

Why Flywheel UPS? TCO savings Higher reliability More sustainable More than 50% anticipated TCO savings vs static battery UPS over 15 year mission Higher energy efficiency No battery replacement cycles Lower cooling requirements Higher reliability Electromechanical design – if its spinning, its working Proven 12x times less likely to fail per Steve Fairfax, MTechnology Issues with Eco Mode on Phase 1 More sustainable Approx. 60% reduction in carbon emissions – energy efficiency and battery free Compact footprint Approx. 80% savings in footprint

Battery Free UPS Solutions Mature, field proven technologies Flywheel energy storage Value proposition Most common objections Design considerations Trends in flywheel energy storage for mission critical applications

Mechanical (7) 50,000 CFM Munters Oasis AHU’s 72 deg F supply air with an 18 deg F dT 72 hours of on-site water storage 25 RT of trim refrigeration included in AH Ductwork minimized Dampers minimized Electrical and IDF Room cooling transferred from the data hall

Phase 2 Change to Indirect Evaporative Solution IEC is less efficient , but IEC has a very simple controls scheme Fully recirculated air - not impacted by issues with OSA Effective with trim refrigeration Water quality is less important Run higher COC Overall reduction of water usage Ease of maintenance Friendlier to extreme winter weather

Air Distribution System Hot Deck/Cold Deck Supply

Air Distribution System Hot Deck/Cold Deck Return

Cell 2.1 Successes Capacity matches demand Additional modules designed and built in 9 months Simpler controls Simpler operation PUE of 1.18

Moving Forward for the Business Finishing out 6 phases of cell 2 Expansion of existing campus Continuous improvement and team involvement Stay tied to business to meet technical requirements

Moving Forward for the Design Structure supporting the hot and cold deck IDF is too small Change rated doors on hot deck/cold deck Increased rack power density

3 Key Things You Have Learned During this Session Alignment – IT and facilities sides of the house have to be in sync to effectively set strategy and standards for a successful design build Dematerialize – eliminate unnecessary hardware and leverage advances in design and technology (i.e., staging builds, avoid overprovisioning, etc.) Sustainability – designs and technologies available today mean you can have the best of both worlds: high efficiency, low carbon AND reduced TCO, avoid the ‘way things have always been done’ mentality
