Grooming costs v capacity is key in new data centre models
The biggest industry challenge in the area of data centres is its exponential growth and only the most responsive organisations are going to be able to accommodate this, according to ISIS Commercial Manager, Kristian Pascoe.
In the business of constructing and installing critical building infrastructure for new major data centre projects across Australia, Andrew says this huge demand in data growth has to be tackled alongside the rigorous green standards that have to now be adopted by centres.
Any major organisation’s IT infrastructure is underpinned by ‘public cloud’ or private data centres.
“The massive cooling infrastructure required by contemporary data centres is the biggest energy consumption pressure on projects,” says Kristian. “This is heightened by the reality of power restrictions and soaring costs which are forcing the sector to respond in a swift and savvy manner.”
ISIS has recently completed data centre projects, contracting on construction and infrastructure installation works, for the University of Melbourne, Interactive Data Centres and Melbourne Water.
The company’s increasing profile in the market is due to its long-standing combination of construction and sustainability credentials.
“Green considerations and benchmarks are what ISIS has done for 21 years as an independent company,” says Kristian. “So it was natural that as the data centre industry booms to meet the precious processing and storage needs of clients that it was going to become a strengthening area of our business.”
The Australian data centre industry recorded investments of $2.1 billion from January 1 to June 30 2011, according to figures released by IDC Australia (The Australian, 23 August 2011). This figure does not include private data centre investment.
The growth in demand for centres to accommodate more data – reflecting data growth – has meant innovation in technologies. Most centres now have high density ‘blade servers’ which allow more storage resources within the same space. However, this can also significantly increase the cooling/power needs for a centre, creating a balancing act to be accommodated in design, says Kristian.
The University of Melbourne data centre project, Data Hall 2, is expected to go live late this year. According to its Infrastructure Services Director, Peter Sack, the need for greater data centre capacity has been driven by technology-dependent research.
The data centre will accommodate the university’s new IT initiatives, which include cloud and research computing.
“For the stage one project fit-out IBM is providing a high density cooling solution, one which is interestingly based on density,” says Kristian. “The plant and equipment chosen for the hall are the most energy efficient systems presently on the market.”
He said Data Hall 2 is designed to achieve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of 1.3 at maximum capacity and utilises technology such as diesel rotary uninterrupted power systems (DRUPS) and high efficiency PowerPax chillers for cooling. Kristian said the DRUPS usage is unusual in Australia.
The Data Hall has been designed to accommodate an IT electrical maximum demand of 1500 KW and total maximum demand of 24OO KW to operate the entire hall.
Kristian said ISIS was responsible for installation works on the 426 sqm Data Hall 2 project, which had to be completed within a strict four months period. The project achieved a critical completion date, while accommodating changes, as required by University and Federal Government commitments within the project budget.
“The two main factors of concern for the client were the high quality of installation that was demanded within a set time-frame, and with minimum disruptions,” said Kristian.
“Client benefits included being able to begin moving equipment into the facility at the earliest possible point.”
