Tier Standard for Data Centers Operational Sustainability

Market of Data Centers in India is an increasingly broad niche and approaching the world level and the technology used, and for the service, and standards to be everywhere in this industry.

The new standard, developed by respected among data center is “Tier Standard for Operational Sustainability“. This standard describes the requirements to guarantee the sustainability of data centers, as well as minimize the associated risks. As you know, prior to widespread standard Tier Standard: Topology regulate the technical parameters of the data center to achieve a certain level of reliability.

Feature of the new standard is that it takes the human factor into account for the stability of the data centers. And it is of great importance, as the percentage of errors in work related factors are as high as 70% of them are little more than 40% are associated with errors Governing Maintenance Service.

To minimize these errors, it is necessary to conduct purposeful work with staff to improve their qualifications, to carry out actions to retain qualified staff. Also in accordance with the standard for sustainability of data centers are important factors such as location of data center, its distance from the intersection of transportation routes – airports, railway stations, highways, especially the building, which houses the data processing center (DPC) and the level of its efficiency.

To improve efficiency, it is expedient to rely on the coefficient PUE (power usage effectiveness), which is calculated by dividing the total capacity of all equipment at the data center power used by IT equipment. Technology to help increase energy efficiency – increasing temperature operation of equipment, consolidation, virtualization, thorough selection of dedicated servers hardware for specific tasks in the data center.

These technologies are mainly applied in designing and building data centers, and for the already functioning provides methods such as replacement of the UPS to the new, high-efficiency, insulation of hot and cold air currents, temperature control and air flow, moving closer to the cooling systems to the point of maximum load. The average payback period of these activities ranges from 2 to 5 years.
