2. Why we build Data Centre Data center is a term used to describe the physical hosting of computer equipment in a shared data center environment that is mutually beneficial to various tenants without each incurring the full cost of designing, building, and maintaining the environment. Campus data center is designed to function as a hardware facility for the purpose of housing computing systems providing various mission-critical services to the campus. The data center is the heart of any Organization

3. What is it that makes a Data Center? Power Cooling Fire Security 100% Uptime Puzzle

4. Data Center Security There are four levels of security for physical access to securely hosted servers and equipment in data center. The first level is code access to the building. Everyone will need a private code or someone with a code to assist you to get into the building. The second level is biometric access to the floor. employees or data center visitors will need to pass a biometric Palm scanner to gain access to Data Center.

5. Data Center Security The third level is the card reader access to the server area. All access information such who and when gained access to the server area are logged. Security manager can review such access information at anytime. The fourth level is locked cabinets for securely hosted servers. Keys are required to open such locked cabinets.

6. Data Center Security In addition to four level physical access control, the data center is also monitored by security cameras.

7. Fire Detection & Suppression Supply, Testing and Commissioning of Kidde Fire Protection System or Approved Equal include optical / ionization smoke detectors and rate of rise heat detectors located within floors / ceilings and room space & Area below raised floor. FM200 extinguishing systems in both large data centers and small computer rooms Hi Fog fire suppression systems in some of the larger data centers.

9. Data Center: Computer Room Power Ensuring the availability of critical data centre, power is at the top of a designers list. IT equipment must be supplied with a clean, consistent source of electrical power, which allows the equipment to avoid system errors and / or a system crash. The following systems are available in a Data centre: Power conditioning and UPS (interruptible Power Supply) systems. Standby diesel generator systems. Mains switchgear. General distribution and lighting.

10. Data Center: Room Air Conditioning power and environmental control / cooling are inseparable design criteria to achieve cost effective and reliable solutions, by using the following systems : Air conditioning - close control and comfort. ventilation and extract systems. Water detection systems - local and perimeter sensing.

18. Data Center Secure Connections Data Center network security are customized to each customer's needs. It can be a combination of : firewall on network routers and switches, dedicated network firewalls and checkpoints such as Netscreen, Cisco Pix, Watchguard firewalls, Firewall and antivirus Software on each server. Data transfers can be secured by VPN, SSL, and SSH Windows 2000-based Server/Router Windows 2000-based Server/Router Security Between NetworksRouter Router
