Water Steam emitted by wet materials walls (gypsum and brick walls RF120)> 150 liters of water / m3 of concrete wall Water condensation in plenum => shortcircuits - Environmental Contamination (human hazard): 1 kg PVC burned (at 300ºC) causes 5.800 m³ of acrid gas. - 80% of Fires affecting Data Centers, come from the outside. - Only 20% of Fires are caused inside DC. Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof. Flames > 1100ºC Conventional Data Centers

23. Temperature rises < 50°C (max 70ºC as per EN1047) Rel. Humidity up to 70% (max. 85% as per EN1047) HW operates normally. Tapes and disk preserved. NO Water Steam emitted as wall materials are dry (no wet material). NO Water condensation in plenum: Sealed Room. - NO Environmental Contamination (NO human hazard): NO burning possible as internal temperature. - Note: Smart Shelter under EN1047 certification process SMART SHELTER structure (Fire resistant 120 min.) NO Water flooding Risk: concrete ceiling is not water proof, but Secure Data Centre is. Flames > 1100ºC Emitted steam remains out of the Smart Shelter. Smart Shelter Protection

57. Algerian gas field exploration New ultrasonic exploration probes require large amounts of computing power to analyse data. Geologists were sending data via satellite link to central processing site and results transmitted back to site. Oil Company was paying over €150,000 per month in satellite air time to transfer survey data for central processing. Oil Company wanted a high security and fully re-locatable data cente to allow onsite processing of survey data. AST worked with Oil Company to design their ideal solution. Working with Thales, AST built and deployed an ISO containerised data centre. ROI is less than 4 months !

60. Part 6: The Future?

61. Main trends 2007 - 2017: –Power and cooling density will continue growing –More efficiency in cooling in DC required. –Very secure DC –More modular DC built adapted for rapid change –DCs become mobile –DCs placed in outdoors locations and other low cost real-estate locations (close to power sources)

62. Conclusions Essential to Plan for the next 10 years, considering the Companies´ needs and its criticity, legal environment, resiliency needs... Security Vs. catastrophic events is a must: fire and water are main risks. DC thermal stability must be ensured! Modularity: essential to adapt to the future. Modular “Smart Shelter” building technique is ideal. Scalability: importance of planning ahead for added power and cooling equipment. Mobility and Outdoors DC: the future. Containerized or Smart Shelter modular. Power Efficiencient: thermal insulation provides great side benefit; DC consolidation and virtualization.
