3 Background of the project
In line with the global trends, the Indian data centre market is buoyed by the positive
sentiments in the economy and the strong resurgence of growth-related projects across
verticals such as banking, insurance, telecom and the government. According to research
firm Gartner, Indian data centre infrastructure market, comprising of server, storage and
networking equipment saw a 5.4 % increase to $2.03 billion in 2015. STPI has always
provided unique tailor made solutions for various problems of its customers. STPI brand
name is trusted and proven, therefore, it can leverage its brand value to build and sell data
centre space to Govt. as well as private customers.
The Information Technology (IT) and Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and
the Electronic Hardware units have acted as a bulwark for turning India into an IT
superpower over past 20 years. The sector has aggregated revenue of USD 142 billion in
FY 2015-16.This sector is highly export intensive and about 70% of the total revenue is
generated through exports. It is estimated that, about 3.51 million people are directly
employed in this sector in 2015-16.
India with its qualified technical work force has earned a name for itself on a global scale in
the arena of IT and ITES. With emergence of e-Governance initiatives across the country,
there is adoption of e-Governance to improve accessibility, transparency and efficiency in
every sphere of Government activities. The Government aims to leverage Information
Technology for deployment of citizen friendly e-Governance applications to make it possible
for millions of citizens to access services electronically in self-service mode using mobile
phones and the Internet or through assisted service points. With wider implementation of e-
Governance Projects by the Government and Private as well as Corporate, requirement of
secure storage of data is growing exponentially.
Why Bhubaneswar?
A land of opportunities, the State of Odisha, has already scaled enviable heights of
achievements in IT exports, churning out IT professionals, creating IT infrastructure etc.
Odisha is the only destination in the Eastern India where all IT majors such as Infosys, TCS,
Wipro, Tech Mahindra and Mindtree have set up their Development Centres. Bhubaneswar
was among first three cities along with Pune & Bangalore where Govt. of India had
established STPI centres during the year 1991. The IT major Infosys was set up its first
offshore Development at Bhubaneswar outside Karnataka during the year 1996.

According to NASSCOM -AT Kearney Study Report, Bhubaneswar was among top 15
Level II cities which can comfortably challenge the leaders. All the locations were analysed
on the parameters like talent pool available, infrastructure, social environment, business
enablers, Government support and cost of operations. Bhubaneswar has emerged as No. 1
in the smart city challenge among 97 cities in the country and is also the 3rd best city in
India to do business (World Bank)
Endowed with rich mineral resources and surplus power, the State of Odisha has attracted
investment intentions to the tune of over US$100 billion to be spread over next 7-10 years
in sectors like metals, petrochemicals, power, IT, hospitality and higher education. Business
conglomerates like Tatas, Aditya Birla, Jindal, Vedanta, Reliance, and ADAG have made
Odisha their destination of Choice. These investments in turn would create newer
opportunities and market for local IT industries. Today, the state has caught the eyeball of
the business world and is home to several Indian and global industry leaders who have
found their preferred turf to take on the world from here.

Low Voltage switchboard general rules
This describes the general rules to guarantee the maximum level of quality and
performances for a Low Voltage Switchboard. In the aim to reach this requirement, the
entire equipment must be in appliance according to the specifications defined in the IEC
Standard: 61439-1&2
The IEC 61439-1&2 applies to Low Voltage Switchgear and control gear assemblies for a
voltage which does not exceed 1000V in alternative current at frequencies not exceeding
1000 Hz, or for 1500 V in DC.
The Standard IEC 61439-1&2 clearly defines the type of verifications (design verification
and routine verification) that must be conducted by both organizations involved in final
conformity of the solution: the Original Manufacturer guaranteeing “assembly system”
design and the Assembly Manufacturer who is responsible for the final conformity of the
Low Voltage Switchboard.
This standard is also applicable for all Assemblies intended for use in connection with the
generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electric energy, and for the control
of electric energy consuming equipment.
To guarantee the installation consistency during the switchboard life cycle, the installation
system and the switchgears must be supplied by the same manufacturer.
Original Manufacturer requirements
To be compliant with standard IEC 61439-1&2 the Original Manufacturer carries out the
original design and the design verifications especially for the following most important
functions that have to be certified through an independent certification body (ASEFA,…) for
the most critical configurations:
o Voltage stress withstand capability: measurement of clearances and creepage distances,
power frequency dielectric test.
o Current-carrying capability: temperature rise tests
o Short-circuit withstand capability: short-circuit tests (Icc and Icw) of the main circuit,
including the neutral conductor, and the protection circuit
o Protection against electric shock: verification of insulating materials
o Protection against fire or explosion hazard: glow wire test
o Maintenance and modification capability: IPxxB test and Mechanical operation tests
(especially for removable parts)
o Capability to be installed on site: lifting test, taken from IEC 62208
o Protection of the Assembly against environmental conditions: IK test according to IEC
62262 & Corrosion test
Assembly Manufacturer requirements
To complete the standard requirement, the Assembly Manufacturer (panel builder) has to
achieve routine verifications.
Hereafter details of the routine verifications to be performed by the Assembly Manufacturer:
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 117
o Degree of protection of enclosures through visual inspection
o Clearances and creepage distances through visual inspection
o Protection against electric shock and integrity of protective circuits through visual
inspection of basic and fault protection also random verification of tightness of the
connections of protective circuit
o Incorporation of built-in components through visual inspection
o Internal electrical circuits and connections through visual inspection and also random
verification of tightness
o Terminals for external conductors through number, type and identification of terminals
o Mechanical operation through visual inspection and effectiveness of mechanical actuating
elements
o Dielectric properties through power-frequency dielectric test
o Wiring, operational performance and function through verification of completeness of
information & markings, also inspection of wiring where relevant and function test where
relevant
A copy of these routines tests fully completed by the assembler must be present within or
close to the switchboard on its exploitation site.
The design verifications of the Original Manufacturer and the routine verifications of the
Assembly Manufacturer, the End User has the guarantee of conformity of his
switchboard according to his performance requirements.
Switchboard design requirements
The following design rules have to be implemented in order to facilitate the assembly and
ensure the most relevant level of safety for any low voltage equipment’s.
Devices installation:
o All the devices must be installed onto dedicated mounting plate designed for one or
several switchgears of the same type. The objective of that point is to group protection
equipment of the same type, as well as distinguish inside the switchboard the function of
each device or group of devices and avoid identification mistakes.
o Theses mounting plates will have an independent fixing system affording them to be
transformed and moved anywhere in the switchboard and especially to allow easy evolution
of the installation.
o To ensure the maximum protection of people around the electrical installation, front
plates must be installed in front of all control and protection equipment’s with both IP3x and
IPxxB level, in order to avoid direct access to the devices and consequently to the active
parts.
Electrical distribution and architecture
o For safety reasons and especially if the door is opened during the switchboard working,
all bus bars have to be covered by barriers onto the whole perimeter of the bus bars zone.
o To achieve that requirement, the switchboard specification must comply with the
partitioning rules at the minimum level of form 2.
o To supply electricity inside the switchboard, the installation of distribution blocks
systems, using spring terminal technology (IPxxB compliant), ensures the maximum
protection of people.
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 118
o To simplify the implementation in compliance with the IEC 61439 1&2, the original
manufacturer should supply prefabricated connections that are perfectly rated and
coordinated to work with the devices.
o Vertical distribution systems should be designed to allow tightened connection by front
access only. Horizontal and Vertical distribution system should be designed to allow
connection (with self-breaking nuts) all along the length thanks to a continuous connection
track and this without any drilling.
o For higher readability of distribution, horizontal bus bars should be designed with only
one single bar per phase.
o For future evolution in the switchboard, bus bars should allow the possibility to add
outgoing feeders without any disassembly.
Framework and cover panels
In order to facilitate the access within the switchboard for the maintenance, its covering
panels must be dismountable on all surfaces whatever the IP degree.
Switchboards associations should be possible in all directions without any impact on the IP
level and when upgrading the maintenance of the original performance levels is guaranteed.
The switchboard should be easily combined with switchboards already in service.
By design the system should ensures electrical continuity of moving parts without additional
earthing braids.
Switchboard operation
o Due to the constant evolutions of the electrical needs for the buildings or for the
factories, the distribution switchboards must have the capacity to follow those evolutions.
o The switchboard offer must include dedicated components affording the adjunction of one
or several enclosures and cubicles on the exploitation site.
o In order to facilitate the current maintenance, e.g. infra-red measurement, the devices
zone has to be accessible in one operation.
o Evolution of the number of outgoing feeders of switchboard can be done in a functional
unit spare place without having to add extra new upstream connection to the main
distribution bus bar
o For demanding service continuity applications, upgrading of switchboard in term of
outgoing feeder extensions can be made in service in unequipped reserved spaces
o The final customers will have the possibility to obtain some spare parts ten years after
the end of commercialization of the switchboard offer in order to be able to replace some
components for maintenance or evolution needs.
Switchboard Technical Requirements (IEC 61439-1&2)
Besides the specifications detailed from the chapter 1 to 5, the switchboard functions and
characteristics listed below are subject to an agreement:

ANTI-PASSBACK
o The system shall be capable of providing anti-pass back control, whereby, a cardholder
that uses their card at an entry reader must not be able to re-enter until they have first
exited using the specified exit reader. The system must also be capable of operating in
either a soft or hard anti-pass back mode
o The anti-pass back control should also be flexible so that cardholder’s that have violated
anti-pass back rules or have lost their access card can be forgiven by a system operator. Soft Anti-pass back
The system shall provide the selection of a soft anti-pass back mode, which permits entry at
a door or barrier (to a valid cardholder) when the anti-pass back rules have breached.
However, the system will still generate an alarm in response to this anti-pass back violation. Hard Anti-pass back
The system shall provide the selection of a hard anti-pass back mode, which does not
permit entry at a door or barrier (to a valid cardholder) when anti-pass back rules have
been breached. In addition this type of breach will also generate an alarm. Peer-to-Peer Anti-pass back
o The system shall provide full anti-pass back capabilities across multiple ISCs without the
need to consult the ACS host. This will allow full anti-pass back capability even when
communications with the host has been lost.

Cascading Anti-pass back
The system shall allow single reader doors to be created within an area. These doors will not
fall under normal anti-pass back control, however, entry will not permitted unless the anti-
pass back conditions assigned to the surrounding area have been previously observed. Four Eyes Access
The system shall allow an area to be nominated as a “Four Eyes” location. An alarm in a
four eyes location shall be raised when a single cardholder has entered that location and
resided within the location for a specified amount of time without a second or subsequent
cardholder entering. A four eyes area will also allow an alarm to be raised when no
cardholders reside within the location. Timed Re-entry
The system shall allow an entry point(s) to be nominated as a timed re-entry point. Once a
cardholder has used their card at a timed re-entry access point, that cardholder will not be
permitted to re-use their card again to gain access to that location within a specified time
period.
Door Interlocking
The system shall allow the configuration of a set of interlocked doors, such that opening any
single door within the defined set prevents any other door from being opened at the same
time, even if a valid cardholder attempts to gain entry at that door.
In addition, it shall be possible define a time period once the first door has been closed,
before another door in the set can be opened. Dual Custody
The system shall allow the configuration of a door such that it can only be opened if two
valid cardholders present their access badge at the door within a defined time period. This
mode shall also allow for supervisory access (e.g.: visitor escort) and an override function
based upon cardholder so that cardholders of an authorized level do not require a
subsequent cardholder before entry is permitted. Clustering
Finally, the system shall allow the configuration of a set of controllers in a single group for
the purpose of anti-pass back configuration. Whilst both local anti-pass back and global
anti-pass back operation shall be available, this subset allows a group of controllers to
monitor anti-pass back within their own cluster.
This type of clustering shall also allow cardholders to maintain a current count in separate
anti-pass back locations. For example, when a cardholder leaves their car in the carpark the
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 216
increased count because of that card remains raised, even if the cardholder enters another
anti-pass back area that is managed across multiple controllers.

A digital IP-Surveillance system, images from a network camera are digitized once and they
stay digital with no unnecessary conversions and no image degradation due to distance
travelled over a network. In addition, digital images can be more easily stored and retrieved
than in cases where analog video tapes are used. By using a data connection and computer
networking, IP cameras can provide much better performance with no real limitations for
future growth in resolution or other capabilities.
System should be programmed such that operator’s intervention if required shall be minimal
and the system should provide features like guard tours, pre-set positions and the pre-set
positions will be linked to perimeter protection system/intrusion system in future. The NVRs
should allow for recording of events both continuous and motion triggered as per
requirement and recordings should be able to create evidences and support post event
analysis.

o Gateway/Convertor Devices: Required for connecting to third party BMS/ third party BMS
controllers/field devices etc.
o Monitoring layer: Responsible for polling all Monitoring Points
o Converged Infra Mgmt. Layer: Responsible for Analytics and Insightful data analysis of
dcim data points
o Cooling optimization AI Layer for Control of Perimeter coolers
VLAN
For all Datacentre Infrastructure components including all Field level devices, Third Party
BMS/BMS controllers, Rack Mount PDU, Energy meters, VESDA, Panel Meters etc. the
Subnet should be the same so that all the devices are able to ping each other and are easily
discovered. If possible they should be in the same VLAN along with complete DCIM solution.
Gateway/Convertor Hardware Specification
The Gateway/Convertor so proposed to integrate third party BMS/BMS controllers and Field
devices over Modbus /Modbus Tcp, BACnet/bacnet-ip and Lon.
o "The Gateway/Convertor should employ a modular I/O design to allow expansion of the
unit to incorporate more Field devices if so required in future for AI/AO/DI/DO. This Input
and output capacity is to be provided through plug-in modules of various types."
o DCIM solution shall have an inherent multi-protocol conversion gateway or DCIM vendor
should provision for a similar hardware/software based gateway as may be required as per
client site requirements. To ensure no last minute surprises and no cross vendor device
communication issues on site the gateway should be manufactured by same OEM whose
DCIM is being proposed in this tender and integrated back to DCIM. The gateway so
proposed should allow to run all protocols through it at the same time (through that one
device the system should allow integration to a chain of LON devices/ chain of Modbus
Device and also a chain of BACnet devices at the same time).
o The gateway so proposed has to be DIN Rail mounted device and not a Rack mountable
design. The field level devices will terminate in panels not inside Racks inside the datacentre
hence the device has to be mounted inside wall mounted panel.
o The Gateway shall support simultaneous exchanges on its various protocols, essentially
meaning you can use all protocols at once and it should be able to run BACNET, LON and
Modbus at the same time and also provide capability to convert BACNET to Modbus TCP
which may be required for seamless Building side integrations.
o Every hardware input and output point, hosted within the Gateway and attached I/O
modules, shall be trended automatically without the requirement for manual creation, and
each of these logs shall log values based upon a change-of-value and store at least 500
trend samples before replacing the oldest sample with new data. The operating system of
the NSC/AS, application programs, and all other portions of the configuration database,
shall be stored in non-volatile, FLASH memory. AS/NSC shall contain enough memory for
the current application, plus required history logging, plus a minimum of 20% additional
free memory.
o This Gateway will support both script text-based programming language as well as the
graphical function block programming language. For both languages, the programmer will
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 258
be able to configure application software for custom program development, and write global
control programs.
o The Gateway so proposed should not have IPMI functionalities or IT Server access
functionalities on the same box as that again contradicts the whole idea of having Field
devices managed at Panel Level. Gateway so provided has to be dedicated for Field devices
only.
o The Gateway so provided has to be compliant with ASHRAE 135-2004 and should be BTL-
listed as a BACnet Building Controller (B-BC) at the least.
o The Gateway shall have a built in FTT-10 port to communicate to the TP/FT-10 LonWorks
network
o The Gateway shall comply to Emission Norms: EN 61000-6-3; FCC Part 15, Sub-part B,
Class B
o The Gateway shall include a battery-backed, real time clock, accurate to 10 seconds per
day. The RTC shall provide the following: time of day, day, month, year, and day of week.
Each Gateway will allow for its own UTC offset, depending upon the time zone. When the
time zone is set, the Gateway will also store the appropriate times for daylight savings time.
Monitoring Layer:
"Proposed DCIM solution should be designed with a top-level 10/100bT Ethernet network,
using the BACnet®/IP, LonWorks®/IP, SNMP, and/or Modbus® TCP protocol. "

device information to any Third Party NMS system using SNMP INFORM/REQUEST
procedures and to third party BMS system using Modbus TCP out channel and also support
Web services programming interface.
Email Server Integration: DCIM Monitoring Layer server/VM system should allow integration
of client email server via SMTP channel.
Alarm Status Tracking: DCIM Monitoring layer should have Alarm filters in the
Monitoring dashboard. The solution provides alert compression and advanced alerting
algorithms including deviation from normal and time over threshold to help reduce false
positive alarms.
Trend Analysis : Should offer Graphical trending analysis for historical data pertaining
to day, week, month, year and user defined durations.
Rule Creations for Threshold Alert: Proposed DCIM solution should allow for custom logics
for creating Rules of Escalation and Email alerts for various devices based on alarm severity
and priority.
Auto Timed Reporting DCIM Monitoring Layer: should allow for Auto Timed/Scheduled
Report Emailing to selected audience on required key performance indicators. These Reports
should be mailed to relevant users as CSV format/PDF formats.
Low End UPS Monitoring: If in case client buys UPS from the DCIM OEM bidder which do not
have SNMP cards but are managed through serial console cables connected directly to
systems powered by the same UPS, the proposed DCIM shall allow integration of those
devices as well. Any separate plugin so required shall be bought by client as and when
required but DCIM should offer back integration to the same.
Virtual Machine Migration(optional):
o DCIM should be scalable to offer plugins to allow safe shutdown for Virtual Machines and
Virtual machine Migration. The safe shutdown feature should support VMWARE and
Microsoft HYPER-V formats. For sites where the UPS are also from the same OEM as the
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 259
DCIM the functionality should be made available day one to the client. For sites where the
UPS are not from the same OEM the functionality should be made available as and when
client buys UPS from the same OEM for future integration. Non availability of such a
capability will be considered as Non Compliance as client reserves the right to opt for it or
not (as per the availability and future scalability on UPS side)
o This Plugin for Safe shutdown of Virtualized Infrastructure should support the following
UPS configurations for alerting: Single UPS, Redundant UPS and Parallel UPS.
o This Plugin for Safe shutdown of Virtualized Infrastructure should support Event logging -
Pinpoint the timing and sequence of events leading up to an incident with the event log.
o This Plugin for Safe shutdown of Virtualized Infrastructure should help prevent possible
data corruption by performing graceful, unattended operating system shutdown in the event
of an extended power outage or computer power problem.
o It should allow the operator to run command file - Run command file on network
shutdown sequence as well as start-up sequence.
o It should facilitate Sequenced Server Shutdown - Sequences the shutdown of multiple
servers powered by the same UPS to extend runtime for higher priority servers.

o View Raised Floor & Rack space utilization"
DCIM Management Layer should offer a dedicated Test Environment within the same
solution which can import the live datacentres 3D layouts and all power, cooling, network
and space details into a separate Sandbox Test Model without impacting the live
functionality of the Management Layer. This will be used to simulate to simulate different
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 261
scenarios, for example, whether the design is strong enough to cover your future
requirements. If you continue to add equipment at the current pace, would the power
supply suffice, or would you need additional power supplies or cooling units; would you
continue to have the necessary redundancy, etc. Changes to these lab models should not
affect the model of the actual live environment in Core DCIM Management Layer.
Predictive Analysis: Predictive Analysis/What If Analysis & Hypothetical
Provisioning/Modelling to ease decision making (such as: where is the best place to put new
server, do my dc have sufficient power, cooling & space to occupy new equipment, etc.)
Power Path Map: Power Path: Ability to model power connections between the equipment

Data Centre Thermal Maps:
o The graphical floor plan of the configured data centre layout should include overlays
showcasing capture index (CI), plenum pressure, plenum velocities, and 3D rendering of the
temperature map, including airflow and temperature thresholds. As the design takes place,
client will get a qualified estimation of the effect of changes in supply temperature, airflow,
and number of cooling units and room-based cooling parameters. The data is expected to be
simulated on the basis of plate rating of various cooling devices, racks, perforated tiles,
grilles etc.
o The Cooling overlay of the data centre floor layout should show a color-coded overview of
the Capture Index to give client an overview of the reasons why the tile airflow may not be
the same across the room. Each rack in a well-formed hot aisle / cold aisle layout should
show a capture index percentage.
o It should also offer dedicated Overlay to show Floor Plenum to help client drill down into
looking at specific velocity issues in the plenum and estimate perforated tile airflow rates. In
designing the layout whenever a client drags in a new cooling unit or moves a perforated
tile, the flow vectors and perforated tile flow rates should update instantly on the Plenum
view on the DCIM.
o In the 3D view, client should be able to see the room's simulated airflow above the raised
floor. Velocity vector and temperature results should look like those from traditional CFD
applications and provide the same ability to quickly locate problem spots and understand
the underlying causes.
o DCIM application should provide design capability of hot isle and cold aisle ducted to
ceiling scenario creation. It should also incorporate other components like Blocking walls,
pillars for creation of datacentre design so that it comes as near to real scenario.
o DCIM should facilitate the 3D model to depict equipment’s placed on Rack Mounted Trays
and at the same time CFD like Model should be able to detect airflow around those
equipment’s when mounted inside the Rack.
o DCIM thermal model should incorporate Thermal calculations utilizing both mechanisms:
Simulated and Real Time T/H sensor polling. User should have the ability to simulate his
datacentre on any of them at any time and see Thermal Maps in X, Y and Z Planes.
o DCIM should facilitate the 3D model to depict equipment’s placed on Rack Mounted Trays
like Modems stacked on a Tray.
o DCIM 3D model should allow for PAN, ZOOM, and rotate the datacentre views as per user
requirement.
o DCIM thermal model should allow Third Party Building Management Rack T/H sensors
also to be utilized for calculating Thermal Maps apart from the DCIM OEM's own T/H
sensors.
Commissioning: The solution should provide provisions to recommend the best location for a
server in the rack layout, utilizing available space, cooling, and power capacity
Data Centre Change Management:

o Ability to create multiple tasks and track task status for each work order.
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 263
o Ability to create work order templates that can be used for recurring work types like
maintenance activities or standard procedure for installation of a certain type of server.
o Support workflow management that should allow for easy implementation and tracking of
organized moves, additions, and changes.
o Support audit trail reporting that would show asset moves, additions, and changes by
date/time, owner, and work orders.
o DCIM should allow for Integration with other Change Management Systems Now as and
when required.
o Every network management change should be recorded in audit trail report
o It should allow for Auto Scheduled Work Orders which can regenerate certain Service
Work orders like Service Schedules for CRAC units which must renew themselves every
Quarter or Yearly etc.
Energy Management (PUE & DCiE):
o The application should provide real time Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), DCIE values
and able to deliver Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly & Yearly PUE report.
o DCIM should be able to deliver the cost and CO2 emission per subsystem where
subsystem data can either be measured (live) or computed (without power meters).It
should showcase graphs for IT load, current PUE/DCiE, historical PUE/DCiE, costs and CO2
emission per subsystem.
Perimeter Cooling Automation:
o DCIM should have provision for a closed-loop system that reacts to real-time data from
the temperature sensors and is able to control existing client CRAC units (DX/CW)
irrespective of OEM. Data may be wirelessly transmitted to network gateways, aggregated,
and sent to a purpose-built appliance where it is analysed by control software which in this
case would be one of the Modules of DCIM. Control commands are then delivered to the
cooling equipment. As IT load changes, the built-in machine learning automatically adjusts
cooling output of CRAC units to match the dynamic data centre environment.
o Utilizing Cooling Automation client will be able to automatically identify and eliminate hot
spots and diagnose potential facility risks proactively and get a Hard Positive ROI.
o This Module will be able to control and put the CRAC units in Software driven and Manual
Mode as required in certain instances.
o The Module will be responsible to create Cooling Influence Maps for the datacentre,
clearly showcasing the Influence of specific CRAC units on certain regions across the
datacentre. This would help the client in identifying which CRAC to run at any point of time.
Reporting and Dashboard:
Proposed platform should offer Dashboard & Reporting on data centre key performance
indicators, displaying customizable information for a high-level overview of data centre
operations.

15 Structured Cabling (Non Intelligence solution)
The basic elements of the data centre cabling system structure
STPI wishes to build a state-of-the art data centre in compliance to the TIA – 942 standard
Tier III requirements.
The basic elements of the data centre cabling system structure as per TIA-942 standard are
the following:
Horizontal cabling
Backbone cabling
Cross-connect in the entrance room or main distribution area
Main cross-connect (MC) in the main distribution area
Horizontal cross-connect (HC) in the telecommunications room, horizontal distribution
area or main distribution area.
Entrance room requirements
The entrance room is a space, preferably a room, in which access provider-owned facilities
interface with the data centre cabling system. It typically houses telecommunications access
provider equipment and is the location where access providers typically hand off circuits to
the customer. This hand-off point is called the demarcation point. It is where the
telecommunications access provider’s responsibility for the circuit typically ends and the
customer’s responsibility for the circuit begins.
For a Tier III Data centre as required for STPI, there has to be two Entrance rooms
separated at least 20 mtrs apart. The rooms are identified as POI rooms on 2nd floor.
Horizontal distribution area
The horizontal distribution area (HDA) is the space that supports cabling to the equipment
distribution areas. The LAN, SAN, console, and KVM switches that support the end
equipment are also typically located in the horizontal distribution area. The main distribution
area may serve as a horizontal distribution area for nearby equipment or for the entire
computer room if the computer room is small.
Typically for STPI, HDA would be located at end of each row. Minimum 2 network racks
have been considered for HDA equipment’s and cross connects.
Equipment distribution areas
o The equipment distribution areas are spaces allocated for end equipment, including
computer systems and communications equipment. These areas do not include the
telecommunications rooms, entrance rooms, main distribution area, and horizontal
distribution areas. The end equipment is typically floor standing equipment or equipment
mounted in cabinets or racks.
o Horizontal cables are terminated in equipment distribution areas on connecting hardware
mounted in the cabinets or racks. Sufficient power receptacles and connecting hardware
should be provided for each equipment cabinet and rack to minimize patch cord and power
cord lengths.
o Point-to-point cabling is permitted between equipment located in the equipment
distribution area. Cable lengths for point-to-point cabling between equipment in the
equipment distribution area should be no greater than 15 m (49 ft.) and should be between
equipment in adjacent racks and cabinets in the same row.
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 269
o There might be instances where no space would be provided inside the server /
equipment racks to mount the cross connect hardware’s. Proper design have to be proposed
to mount panels outside of the 19” rack frame, in such installations.
Brief Design Description:
o In data centre there are two service provider room each consist of two rack. Phase -1
one rack and phase -2 one rack. Hereafter this room refereed as ISP room.
o There are two communication room, each room consist of three racks. All the three rack
are in phase -1. Hereafter this referred as MDA.
o There are three server room. Server room 1 and server room 2 and HD server room are
consider in phase -1, and server room 3 consider in phase 2.Each server room consist of
server rack and network rack. Hereafter server rack referred as EDA, and network rack

Facilities equipment is down but is not in the critical path and can be attended to in next 24
hrs. No Customer impact and no likelihood.
Severity 4:
o Minor problem with a piece of Facilities equipment that can be attended to within the
next week or at the next service interval
o UPS: UPS is a system that provides smoothed power so that in the event of a power
fluctuation the power quality to the service is not affected. In the event of a power failure
the UPS will also maintain the power to the service for a period of time dictated by the
back-up battery autonomy time. This is generally designed at 10 minutes at full design load.
o (N) - N is the number of system units without redundancy (UPS/Pumps/Generators etc.)
that support the services i.e. in the event of a failure (or maintenance) of any one
component the service cannot be maintained
o (N+1) - N+1 is the number of system units with redundancy (UPS/Pumps/Generators
etc.) that support the services i.e. in the event of the failure (or maintenance) of any one
component the service can continue unaffected.
o INCIDENT - Is a failure of a component without loss of DP Services
o INTERRUPT - Is a failure of a component with loss or degradation of DP Services (an
INTERRUPT will be measured from the time the component fails to the time the component
is available).
o DP SERVICE - Data Processing service is an IT service being provided to a customer
within agreed customer service giving hours. (A service problem will be defined
INTERRUPT/INCIDENT at the time of the problem).

n
The Gateway/Convertor so proposed to
integrate third party BMS/BMS
controllers and Field devices over
Modbus /Modbus TCP, Bacnet/bacnet-ip
and Lon.
The Gateway/Convertor should employ a
modular I/O design to allow expansion
of the unit to incorporate more Field
devices if so required in future for
AI/AO/DI/DO. This Input and
output capacity is to be provided
through plug-in modules of various
types.
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 470
DCIM solution shall have an inherent
multi-protocol conversion gateway or
DCIM vendor should provision for a
similar hardware/software based
gateway as may be required as per
client site requirements. To ensure no
last minute surprises and no cross
vendor device communication issues on
site the gateway should be
manufactured by same OEM whose
DCIM is being proposed in this tender
and integrated back to DCIM. The
gateway so proposed should allow to run
all protocols thorough it at the same
time (through that one device the
system should allow integration to a
chain of LON devices, chain of Modbus
Device and also a chain of Bacnet
devices at the same time).
The gateway so proposed has to be DIN
Rail mounted device and not a Rack
mountable design. The field level
devices will terminate in panels not
inside Racks inside the data centre
hence the device has to be mounted
inside wall mounted panel. It shall
conform to a small footprint no larger
than 100W x 125H x 75D mm (3.94W x
4.92H x 2.95D in) to allow DIN rail
mounting or if need be mounted directly
to the wall.
The Gateway shall support simultaneous
exchanges on its various protocols,
essentially meaning you can use all
protocols at once and it should be able
to run BACNET, LON and Modbus at the
same time and also provide capability to
convert BACNET to Modbus TCP which
may be required for seamless Building
side integrations.
Every hardware input and output point,
hosted within the Gateway and attached
I/O modules, shall be trended
automatically without the requirement
for manual creation, and each of these
logs shall log values based upon a
change-of-value and store at least 500
trend samples before replacing the
oldest sample with new data. The
operating system of the NSC/AS,
application programs, and all other
portions of the configuration database,
shall be stored in non-volatile, FLASH
memory. AS/NSC shall contain enough
memory for the current application, plus
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 471
required history logging, plus a
minimum of 20% additional free
memory.
This Gateway will support both script
text-based programming language as
well as the graphical function block
programming language. For both
languages, the programmer will be able
to configure application software for
custom program development, and write
global control programs.
The Gateway so proposed should not
have IPMI functionalities or IT Server
access functionalities on the same box
as that again contradicts the whole idea
of having Field devices managed at
Panel Level. Gateway so provided has to
be dedicated for Field devices only.
The Gateway so provided has to be
compliant with ASHRAE 135-2004 and
should be BTL-listed as a BACnet
Building Controller (B-BC) at the least.
The Gateway shall have a built in FTT-
10 port to communicate to the TP/FT-10
LonWorks network
The Gateway shall comply to Emission
Norms: EN 61000-6-3; FCC Part 15,
Sub-part B, Class B
The Gateway shall include a battery-
backed, real time clock, accurate to 10
seconds per day. The RTC shall provide
the following: time of day, day, month,
year, and day of week. Each Gateway
will allow for its own UTC offset,
depending upon the time zone. When
the time zone is set, the Gateway will
also store the appropriate times for
daylight savings time.
5 Monitoring

the functionality should be made
RFP for Selection of SI for Design, Build and O&M of Uptime Certified Tier-III Data Centre at STPI-Bhubaneswar 473
available day one to the client. For sites
where the UPS are not from the same
OEM the functionality should be made
available as and when client buys UPS
from the same OEM for future
integration. Non availability of such a
capability will be considered as Non
Compliance as client reserves the right
to opt for it or not (as per the
availability and future scalability on UPS
side)
This Plug-in for Safe shutdown of
Virtualized Infrastructure should support
the following UPS configurations for
alerting: Single UPS, Redundant UPS
and Parallel UPS.

Analysis &
Design
The graphical floor plan of the
configured data centre layout should
include overlays showcasing capture
index (CI), plenum pressure, plenum
velocities, and 3D rendering of the
temperature map, including airflow and
temperature thresholds. As the design
takes place, client will get a qualified
estimation of the effect of changes in
supply temperature, airflow, and
number of cooling units and room-based
cooling parameters. The data is
expected to be simulated on the basis of
plate rating of various cooling devices,
racks, perforated tiles, grilles etc.
The Cooling overlay of the data centre
floor layout should show a colour-coded
overview of the Capture Index to give
client an overview of the reasons why
the tile airflow may not be the same
across the room. Each rack in a well-
formed hot aisle / cold aisle layout
should show a capture index
percentage.
It should also offer dedicated Overlay to
show Floor Plenum to help client drill
down into looking at specific velocity
issues in the plenum and estimate
perforated tile airflow rates. In designing
the layout whenever a client drags in a
new cooling unit or moves a perforated
tile, the flow vectors and perforated tile
flow rates should update instantly on the
Plenum view on the DCIM.

it comes as near to real scenario.
DCIM should facilitate the 3D model to
depict equipments placed on Rack
Mounted Trays and at the same time
CFD like Model should be able to detect
airflow around those equipments when
mounted inside the Rack.
DCIM thermal model should incorporate
Thermal calculations utilizing both
mechanisms: Simulated and Real Time
T/H sensor polling. User should have the
ability to simulate his data centre on any
of them at any time and see Thermal
Maps in X,Y and Z Planes.
DCIM should facilitate the 3D model to
depict equipment’s placed on Rack
Mounted Trays like Modems stacked on
a Tray.
DCIM 3D model should allow for
PAN,ZOOM, Rotate the data enter views
as per user requirement.
DCIM thermal model should allow Third
Party Building Management Rack T/H
sensors also to be utilized for calculating
Thermal Maps apart from the DCIM
OEM's own T/H sensors.

delivered to the cooling equipment. As
IT load changes, the built-in machine
learning automatically adjusts cooling
output of CRAC units to match the
dynamic data centre environment.
Utilizing Cooling Automation client will
be able to automatically identify and
eliminate hot spots and diagnose
potential facility risks proactively and
get a Hard Positive ROI.
This Module will be able to control and
put the CRAC units in Software driven
and Manual Mode as required in certain
instances.
The Module will be responsible to create
Cooling Influence Maps for the data
Centre, clearly showcasing the Influence
of specific CRAC units on certain regions
across the data enter. This would help
the client in identifying which CRAC to
run at any point of time.
