Common Pain Points in Data Center Management

► Unable to manage relationships and dependencies among silos or even within silos

► Unable to get accurate views of current resources

► Unable to do accurate capacity planning

► Unable to enforce best practices and processes (EU code of conduct)

► Unable to comply or it is too costly to comply with internal and external regulatory audits

Raritan, Inc. - Proprietary

Manual Processes

► Labor-intensive processes

► Slow, time-consuming

► Unreliable

► Prone to conflict and errors

Determining Power Capacity

► Need to understand power chain distribution

► Need to understand power chain diversity

► Having real-time load monitoring with intelligent rack PDUs help, but they don’t provide the complete picture

Why determining power capacity is problematic (not so simple)?

Raritan, Inc. - Proprietary

Power Capacity Example 1 – Normal Conditions

► Normal Conditions Facts

Redundant power distribution to cabinet (rack PDU A and B)

Servers with dual load-sharing power supplies

Each power supply max real-time load (load-sharing) is 3 Amps

Total max real-time load on rack PDU A and rack PDU B are 12 Amps each

► What is the Available Power?

► Is there Enough Information to Determine Power Capacity?

Power Capacity Example 2 – Power Chain B Failure

► Failure Condition Facts Servers fail over to PS1s Server max real-time load is now 6 Amps Rack PDU A real-time max is now 24 Amps

► What is the Available Power? Appears that we have 8 Amps available

► Is there Enough Information to Determine Power Capacity? No We need to view the complete power chain

Power Chain Diversity Explained

Cabinet 1 Cabinet 2 Cabinet 48

Electrical Outlet- 32 Amp, 240 Volts

Rack PDU A- Input: 32 Amps- Fuse: 4 x 16 Amps- Sockets: 6 x 16 Amps/Fuse

PDU Breaker Panel A1- Main Breaker = 250 Amps - Total 1-Pole 32 Amps

Breakers = 48

Power Chain Diversity – Power Chain B Failure

Cabinet 1 Cabinet 2

Electrical Outlet- 32 Amps, 240 Volts

Rack PDU A- Input: 32 Amps- Fuse: 4 x 16 Amps- Sockets: 6 x 16 Amps / Fuse

PDU Breaker Panel A1- Main Breaker = 250 Amps - Total 1-Pole 32 Amps

Breakers = 48

Panel A1

Source A: 300 KW UPS ► In Example 2 – Chain B Failure

Rack PDU A rating is 32 Amps

8 Amps appears available

But when you sum up all 48 rack PDU A‘s, the total load in panel A1 is now 512 Amps (worst case phase)

Panel main breaker is only 250 Amps

Not enough capacity in panel A1 Panel A1 main breaker will trip

What is a DCIM System?

► Beyond Asset Tracking: Enable visualization, tracking and management of all data center assets and their related physical and logical resources including structured cable plant, networks, power infrastructure, and cooling

► A Holistic Approach: Bridge the organizational and functional gaps across all domains including facilities, networking, and systems domains

► A Single Pane of Glass: Used by all data center domains and groups regardless of hierarchy including managers, system administrators, and technicians

► A Single Repository: A single database to house all data from across all data centers and sites

► Process Driven: A change management system by which you can provision new systems and all their related physical and logical resources

A DCIM system becomes the gate through which you will enter the data center to affect physical changes

What is a DCIM System?

A DCIM system bridges the gap between facilities and IT

Key Components of a DCIM System?

► Visualization Data center floor plan (bird’s eye

view) Racks Servers and devices Structured cabling and power

infrastructure Power and data ports Power and data circuits

► Asset Tracking

► Capacity Planning

► Provisioning Assignment of new systems and

their related resources

Moves, adds, and changes (MACs)

► Change Management Requests Reviews and approvals Work orders

► Real-time SNMP Monitoring

► Reporting and Dashboards

The Bird’s Eye View

► Dynamic Floor Map Ability to view data center

floor map views dynamically

Enhancement: Real-time links to existing Visio and AutoCAD floor plan drawings

► Capacity Planning Dynamic color coded plans

Space planning

Environmental planning

Power planning

► Granular Drill Down

Cascading drill down to granular details including devices, ports, and circuits

Real-time Thermal Mapping

The Result – Single Version of the Truth

A centralized real-time views of floor plans, cabinets, ports and connections.

Automated change management; reduce costs; comply with audits

Cabling, IP subnets, VLANs, servers, rack PDUs, breaker panels, UPS, etc.
