InfraStruXureTM: Key Considerations
Time to design/deploy a legacy NCPI solution Speed: Need to design and build data centers & computer rooms quickly Availability: Need to increase the availability & reliability of IT systems IT Project Timeline Time Network Critical Physical Infrastructure Technology Process People Available Network Slide intent: Describe the key considerations when evaluating your NCPI space Speed: Today’s business requires you to go faster. Business processes in place today are in a constant change – this in turn drives IT requirements. The NCPI that supports that IT environment must be capable of being specified, designed, and deployed quickly. Stress how long it takes to deploy traditional equipment – this process typically takes months Take away message - a company needs to be in a position to respond to opportunities as well as threats – the inability to respond can handicap a business. Explaination of Graph: The time to design and deploy a legacy NCPI solution is long – often months and maybe years Many times an IT project timeline is much shorter – often days/weeks The result is that an opportunity may be missed because the NCPI environment could not be designed/deployed fast enough to get meet the business requirements ANECDOTE: Your company is looking to enter into an new category that will require new IT equipment (high density server/storage/etc.). Your business needs the ability to design and deploy the NCPI to support this equipment within 2 weeks and you do not have the UPS/Cooling capacity to do so. Availability: IT systems need to be more available today then ever. In a world that tolerates zero downtime, a robust IT system is a must. There is still talk of ”9’s of availability” – while how they are calculated is often disputed, the bottomline is that users are looking for 9’s of availbility Take away message – they NCPI must be more robust and available to provide high availability to the business Pictured is the ”availability triangle” – it clearly shows the reliance of one level on the next – people rely on the process who rely on the technology that relies NCPI layer Components of the NCPI layer include power, cooling, distribution, racks, etc. InfraStruXure™

InfraStruXureTM: Key Considerations
Network Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI) Adaptability: Need to adapt to technology refresh every 1-2 years Cost: Need to minimize upfront and operating costs to a minimum IT Refresh 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Slide intent: Describe the key considerations when evaluating your NCPI space Adaptability: IT environments are always in a state of flux- the need to adapt is very prevelent. IT and the layer it resides on, NCPI, must be capable of being moved within days/weeks and not months/years Moves/Adds/Changes (MACs) should not handicap the business from being able to react As power densities, cables densities, and vendors continue to change, adaptability is paramount Stress that technology refreshes every 1-2 years while NCPI will go 10 yrs (typical) before refreshed Explaination of Graph: This graph depicts when refreshes are done in the IT environment versus the NCPI layer Point out that technology refresh is constantly occuring with IT equipment (every couple of years) Notice that the NCPI is only refreshed every 9-10 years The takeaway here is that with IT technology refreshing every couple of years placing new demands (power, cabling, cooling, etc.) on the NCPI layer – using a NCPI layer that is adaptable will be paramount. Cost: Many data centers are under-utilized – customers are forced to overbuild data center NCPI as many future unknowns are prevalent. Limited technology available to right size NCPI There is a strong need to build for what you need to today, and easily scale to meet tomorrows requirements This graph shows what a typical data center looks like using the traditional NCPI approach An expected load is typically determined by looking a max power capacities possible over the next 10 years The system installed is usually 20% larger than this forecasted capacity to avoid undersizing the system On day 1 when the system is commissioned, the actual load is a subset of the expected load Over time, the actual load only becomes a percentage of the expected load due to the oversizing of the system As a whole, APC has found that 80% of the data centers built with traditional NCPI utilize only 30% of their system InfraStruXure™

InfraStruXureTM: APC Capabilities
SPEED: Quick design, installation, and commission of power, cooling, and environmental management systems AVAILABILITY: Built-in redundancy, secure environment, reduced human error, pre-tested system, low Mean-Time-To-Repair, proactive management capabilities ADAPTABILITY: Can be easily moved, scaled or customized; can accommodate any power or cable density or runtime requirement; vendor neutral environment COST: Lower up front cost with no need for raised floor or second UPS; reduced engineering and operating expenses Speed: The message here is that data centers used to take months/years to specify, design, install, and commission. With the aide of the ISX BOT, CTO process, and standard, rack based modules, ISX can be rolled out in a matter of days. Takeaway message: ISX enables you to go faster. Availability: Everyone today is looking for more availability from their systems. The built-in redundancy of the Symmetra PX used within ISX systems gives a higher level of availability (N+1) without the need to buy a second UPS system. You can also recap the fact that the Symmetra is a redundant system. NOTE: If the customer is looking to achieve a true “2N” design in which they have 2 separate power sources to each rack, they will require a UPS/PDU system. APC’s position is not against “2N” systems, but very often the cost to get a true “2N” system is insurmountable. You can also touch other points that the system is proactively managed. For example, you can monitor the amount of current flowing to each branch circuit thereby proactively identifying a potential circuit overload before it occurs. Utilizing the NetShelter VX enclosures, an ISX solution provides a secure environment System is pre-tested (breakers, etc.) in APC’s factory before its sent out Low Mean-Time-To-Repair is achieved by using modular components that can swapped out in a matter minutes thereby achieving a faster repair time Many aspects of the system are managed proactively (ie power path, etc.) Adaptable: ISX system is rack-based and modular, you can add/subtract/move modules easily to meet demand Easily scale/modify the system to accommodate additional power density (ex. Blade servers) or cable densities (ex. Patch panels, etc.) With pre-configured whips, a customer can quickly change the receptacle type in the rack NetShelter VX systems are vendor neutral guaranteeing compatibility with all major vendors Cost: ISX gives the client the ability to install just what is required today. By only building what is required, the client is assured not to overbuild and sacrifice money in architecture that will never be used. ISX is scalable internally to exactly meet the load requirement. Typical cost savings are at least 20% on capital cost and 30% operating cost. Please refer back to the white paper “Avoiding Costs for Oversizing Data Center and Network Room Infrastructure”.

New Approaches to Computer Room Cooling Air Distribution Architectures
Air distribution in cooling designs has been traditionally focused around delivering cold supply air to the IT equipment. In today’s data center environments with increasing heat densities utilization of space not intended for this purpose, the air distribution architecture must change to focus on heat removal and room neutral designs.
17
What are we trying to do? Improved Performance Availability
Predictability of airflow patterns Adaptability Future proofing the facility TCO Little or no moisture removal More cooling per kW consumed through warmer air return Cap-ex raised floor, capacity, square footage right sizing Performance Traditional cooling methodologies inadequate Availability is improved because we are more closely coupling the cooling to the IT load. Because we are preventing mixing, the predictability of the system increases (ie we know where the hot air is going) Adaptability is greater due to rack densities up to 5 kW per rack that allow for "future proofing" the system by having the capability to go to 20kW in the future when the addition of a hot aisle containment system is retrofitted. TCO is reduced because the system does not require a raised floor, space is saved through increased capacity due to warmer return temperatures and less humidification is required. Traditional cooling systems are inadequate to address the high heat densities that are being deployed. These systems were not designed to accommodate existing office space or other controlled environments that are being converted into data center space.
18
Cooling is a significant portion of Op-ex
Breakdown of electricity consumption of a typical data center Since cooling makes up a large portion of the operating expense in electrical consumption, increasing the efficiency and capacity of air conditioning systems can lower the cost. The number of air conditioning systems required can be reduced by increasing the capacity through warmer return air temperatures. By removing the heat at the source, traditional room design methods like raised flooring can also be avoided to save on up front capital investments. Cooling equipment power consumption is a large contributor to the electric bill More CRACS = More electrical consumption.
19
What is driving a new method?
High density trends Blade/1U servers Compaction IT refreshes Current limitations Raised flooring Heat removal disconnect High density equipment, applications, compaction due to space constraints and IT refreshes are causing environments that are less predictable while generating much higher heat dissipation. Current cooling architectures are insufficient and inflexible to handle the changing environment being produced by new technologies.
20
How do we do it? Answer lies in how the heat load (IT equipment) is coupled to the heat sink (CRAC / CRAH unit) Close coupling the heat removal to the point of generation ensures that the heat is removed adequately, preventing mixing and avoiding hot spots.
21
A look at 2 new cooling methods
In-Row Horizontal Flow Hot Aisle Containment In-Row: Placing the air conditioner in the row of rack enclosures. Return air is pulled from the hot aisle, cooled and distributed into the cold aisle for consumption by the IT equipment. Hot Aisle Containment: In-Row cooling with a sealed hot aisle, utilizing ceiling tiles and door to enclose the hot aisle preventing any hot air from mixing with supply air. This is complete heat neutralization.
22
New Airflow Pattern - Horizontal
- Rear return, front discharge Up or Down piping & wiring Critical & Non-Critical power Remote sensor(s) 5 preconfigured models available 208/208 480/208 480/480 600/208 600 Warm return air enters in the rear of the system and is cooled, then distributed into the cold aisle via a top plenum. Piping and wiring can be connected from the top or bottom of the system. Piping kits provide flexibility for both options. The system features separate input buses for critical and non-critical loads. Critical loads are the fans, condensate pump, display and microprocessor controller. Non-critical loads are reheating elements and humidifier. Since heat is removed before mixing can occur, the system controls supply temperature based on room conditions. One remote temperature/humidity probe ships standard with the unit. Additional sensors can be added for monitoring more than one area to average the supply temperature setpoint. Multiple voltage options are available for the critical/non-critical inputs. The second voltage designation is the critical voltage. The critical input is available in 208V. The system ships with a pre-configured whip for connection to one of the twist locking whips from the PDU.

Cold center vs. Hot center design
14 ft 14 ft In-row configurations were tested to determine the effect of cold supply to the aisle vs. removing the heat from the cold aisle. NOTE: In multiple row configurations this becomes void, since there are multiple hot aisles and the design becomes a hot center design by default. 21 ft 21 ft Center Cold Aisle Center Hot Aisle

This test shows that a peak density of 12 kW produced an airflow volume greater than the NetworkAIR IR could handle when placed at the end of the row. This test was reproduced at multiple densities at varying positions in the row. 2 kW/rack

Scaleable High Density Architecture for On Demand Infrastructure 1U Servers High Power Density Multi-corded Power Input Compaction Rack Consolidation Space Constraints IT Refresh Blade Servers High Power Density Varying Loads Easy Expansion Multi-Corded Power Input Converted Space Production Areas Conference Rooms Lab Environments Opening Comments: Space constraints are leading to new hardware that consumes the same amount of heat in a smaller footprint. To address these constraints, more equipment is being installed in the same amount of space and areas that were previously not used for housing IT equipment are being used data centers. 1U Servers: Servers that used to take up multple U-slots in an enclosure are being made smaller with the same or greater power consumption allowing more power in a single enclosure Blade Servers: To provide the ability to install more servers in a smaller space with expansion capability, chassis are being used with vertically mounted server slots. Compaction: Space constaints from expansion and growth are forcing more equipment into the same or smaller areas. Old equipment is being replaced with smaller equipment that produces the same amount of heat or more than the equipment being replaced. Converted Space; The availability of space for housing IT equipment is often not available as requirements grow. Space that was previously used for production areas, conference rooms and office space is being converted and used for housing IT equipment. These areas do not have the infrastructure for supporting sensitive electronic equipment. . InfraStruXure High Density

Summary of Cooling Applications
This graph illustrates when to utilize the appropriate products based on total and average heat loads. As per rack densities increase, the architecture must move to a closely coupled heat removal architecture. At lower power densities there are more traditional options that can be utilized.

Symmetra MW Applications
Range: 400 kW to 1.6 MW Availability N+1 redundant designs High Density High performance applications increasing power requirements Slide intent: Introduce the 4 main applications that are relevant for the product family Notes for the presenter: Opening Comments Tell that the Symmetra MW family is designed for large data centers and mission critical facilities. Availability Mission critical infrastructures such as NCPI require the highest possible level of availability Highly available infrastructue: N+1 redundancy and the ability to quickly to adapt to changing power and runtime requirements are key With it’s scalable, modular, fault-tolerant design Symmetra MW helps data centers meet these high availability requirements High Density Data center space is often scarce, always expensive and in many cases both. As a result, data centers are lookig for ways to maximize their return on investment by deploying as many servers as possible in the smallest possible space. And today’s high density servers draw an increasing amount of power Challenge is to be able to support increasing amounts of power within that same space to assure that the size of your UPS is flexible enough to accomodate increasing power requirements as you go As the Symmetra MW can be scaled to increasing power needs it is a good match for high density environments and in addition helps maximizing data center ROI as you can pay as you grow, thereby elimininating the need for overzizing the UPS Consolidation Reaction to reduced enterprise spending Main goals of consolidation: Economies of Scale. Reduce complexity and Total Cost of Ownership (reduce maintenance costs, overhead costs, etc.). Improve efficiency and data center management. boost performance and data accessibility The Symmetra MW supports consolidating data centers/facilities by offering a scalable, fault-tolerant design where they can grow their UPS solution as consolidation takes place, even for very large power requirements without having to pay for all of the power infrastructure up front. Scalability Research shows that the typical data center is only utilized to 30% of its capacity, few up to 90% and some only up to 10% of capacity Furthermore, the utilization of a data center varies during its lifetime according to a relatively consistent pattern (APC White Paper #47, "Avoiding Costs from Over sizing Data Center Infrastructure“) Large savings to be obtained by rightsizing: A) data center infrastructure that is never needed is never deployed, and B) data center infrastructure that is needed is not built out until it is needed. Symmetra MW helps reduce the cost of oversizing by offering a scalable approach to deploying a mega watt solution where scaling your system to larger power requirements becomes easy Consolidation Reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Increase efficiency Reduce complexity Scalability Eliminate oversizing costs ”right-sizing” Symmetra MW

High Efficiency Up to 97% efficiency at full load provides reduced heat dissipation and energy costs Control Section: LCD Touch-screen Configurable touch-screen with network interface offers easy access to all critical UPS and ancillary equipment data. Slide intent: Provide overview of the Product Family design and main feature/benefits Notes for the presenter: Direction: Clockwise beginning with the Input/output Section Opening Comments The Symmetra MW design consists of main 3 sections, as you can see on this slide Input/Output Section Spaceous cable section that provides standard top of bottom, left or right cable entry. This ensures maximum installation flexibility and ease of installation Control Section: 10” LCD Touch Screen LDC touch screen provides menu-driven operating and repair instructions that guide the service engineer through service and maintenance and thereby reduces MTTR and likelihood of human errors Includes network/web communication and visual and audible alarms Also houses the microprocessor control and redundant power supply, as well as main static switch Control Section: Static Transfer Switch The 800 and 1000kW models have a line-up and match external static transfer switch (shown on the Options and Related Product slide) Inverter Section: The inverter section houses the 200kW scalable power modules that each work like an independant UPS Power factory corrected (kVA = kW) Delta conversion design The UPS ships with a harness that makes it easy to slide in and out power modules without the Service Engineer having to lift enything. A module can be swapped in a matter of minutes, which provides a higher level of serviceability as Mean Time to Repair is reduced Power modules are seperated by hard steel for fault containment. The redundant power supplies, as well as the seperate controls and input/output fusing and contactors add to the high availabilty design High Efficiency High efficiency: Reduced operating expenses, less power consumption. The low heat dissipation translates into less impact on air condition systems (The impact of a traditional oversized 1MW system running at only 20% load is greater than the impact of a 400kW system running at 50% load) In Closing: In addition, front access servicing reduces space requirements and ease of maintenance Draw-out components allow for on-site stocking of modules to reduce Mean Time to Repair Inverter Section Load-sharing 200 kW power modules provide the flexibility to scale power capacity and adds N+1 capability Control Section: Static Bypass Switch The built-in static bypass switch (400 and 600kW models) provides for safe transfer to an alternate source without interrupting the supply to the load Symmetra MW
