• Availability through a design that includes appropriate use of tier levels and the
ability to support multiple tiers in the same datacenter
• Agility through a design that’s flexible and adaptable, ready to align IT resources
with changing business objectives
Power supply: Electric power requirements for data centers became an important issue
for.
computer technology, was creating higher heat density in smaller and smaller
geometries. The simultaneous compaction and increase in electrical power caused
concern over the ability to cool future generations of IT equipment.
facilities that support the Internet
Total power required can be calculated by Total Rack Location Unit i.e. total equipment
power consumption plus 70 % of this for HVAC units, fire control, monitoring etc.
Data center electricity usage by different components:
UPS: Uninterruptible Power Supply is critical for high availability of services. UPS
should be capable of maintaining power supply for a minimum 15 minutes during power
failure and carry 150% of powerload.
Backup Power Generator: Generator should be uses as an alternative source of power.
Installation of generator should be properly done accordind to code compliance.

The cooling infrastructure: is a significant part of a data center. As much as 40% of a
data center's energy bill is from cooling equipment. The complex connection of chillers,
compressors and air handlers create the optimal computing environment, ensuring the
longevity of the servers installed within. Proper HVAC(heating ,ventilation and air
conditioning) system should be in place.

2. equipment layout: The equipment layout shows the footprint of IT equipment and the
footprint of power and cooling equipment. IT equipment usually defined as rack
locations without regard for the specific devices in the cabinets. Basic principles of
equipment layout are
• Control the airflow using a hot-aisle/cold-aisle rack
• Provide access ways that are safe and convenient
• Align the floor or ceiling tile systems with the equipment
• Minimize isolated IT devices and maximize row length
Rack Location Placement: The floor layout dependent on the number of rack location
that are possible in the room . On average, the number of IT rack locations possible can
be estimated by dividing the room area by 28 sq ft / rack (2.6 sq meters / rack)1, the
actual number of racks for a particular data center can vary greatly from this typical
value.
With daily system backups becoming a routine, downloading information must be done
as quickly as possible, meaning data center cabling systems must provide fast data rates
and be capable of reliably handling the stream of data while enabling migration to higher
data rates when necessary. The RJ-45 connector is very common but one can use LC,SC
or ST connector.
In cabling use Point of Distribution (POD) rack for modular and manageable connection.
Both ends of a cable should be labeled for better management of network connectivity
problems. POD contains the following items
• Switches and sub switches: for administrative work
• Network Terminal Servers: allows connect physical console of a device to a port.
• Cat5/6 and Fibre ports for cross patching
