    The document summarizes updates to various data center standards, including that TIA-942-A and BICSI-002 are expected to be the best standards going forward. It also discusses trends toward higher speeds and energy efficiency in Ethernet, as well as increased power delivery over Ethernet that could impact server deployment. Environmental monitoring in data centers is important to prevent damage from temperature, humidity, flooding, and other threats.

    DC Standards Update

    Barney Tomasich
    RCDD/NTS/OSP/WD/ESS/GSAP
    Anixter Australia
    Agenda
    •Current Status of DC Standards

    •TIA 942

    •ANSI/BICSI 002

    •Cabling Standards Update

    •Summary
    Current Status of DC Standards
    •Several industry standards addressing DC design
    and implementation

    •These standards may be used in whole or in part


    to define DC standards for a given project

    •Many standards development organizations have


    been cross-referenced by each of these DC
    standards

    •Which DC standard is best?


    Global DC Standards
    •AS/NZS 2834 (1995): “Computer Accommodation” 46 pgs

    •ANSI/TIA-942 (2005):"Telecommunications Infrastructure


    Standard for Data Centers" 139 pgs

    •ISO/IEC 24764 (2010): "Information Technology - Generic


    Cabling for Data Centre Premises“ 46 pgs.

    •ANSI/BICSI-002 (2010): "Data Center Design and


    Implementation Best Practices" 225 pgs.
    TIA-942 Design Elements
    •Cabling Design

    •Network Design

    •Facilities Design

    •Pathways & Spaces

    •Racks/Cabinets

    •Informative Annexes
    Containing “Best Practices”

    Hot & Cold Equipment Aisles

    Source: TIA/EIA 942


    Hot & Cold Aisle Placement

    Distance
    Recommendations:
    Min.- 900mm (1.5 tiles)
    Ideal- 1200mm (2 tiles)

    Institute

    450mm 900mm

    Note: - Tiers are Uptime Institute trademark


    - 2 x Tier 2 cheaper than 1 x Tier 4
    - Don’t need same Tier level in all DC
    BICSI-002 DC Standard
    The intent of the BICSI-002 standard is to:
    •Define best practices for design and
    implementation of data centres

    •Complement the TIA and ISO data centre


    design standards

    •Where possible, avoid duplication of content


    already available

    •Provide references to other applicable


    standards and guidelines such as ISO,
    CENELEC, TIA, ASHRAE, and IEEE

    •$400 for BICSI members.

    Data Centre Build and has excellent
    Best Practices

    •TIA-942-A will be the best DC


    standard when it is revised and
    issued sometime in 2011

    •TIA-942-A + BICSI-002 best long


    term option
    Green Cabling Options

    Traditionally four cabling options:

    •PVC
    •LSZH
    •Plenum
    •LCC
    Green Star Ratings
    •What does it take to get 4, 5 or 6 stars?
    - Building Management (Waste, Commission, GSAP) 9%
    - Indoor Environment Quality (Air, Light, View, VOC) 20%
    - Energy (Greenhouse Gas, Light, Power Density) 25%
    - Transport (Public Transport, Cycling, Car Parks) 8%
    - Water (Water Use, Heat Reject Water, Meters) 15%
    - Materials (Building & Material Reuse, PVC, Design) 14%
    - Land Use & Ecology (Contaminated & Reuse Land) 4%
    - Emissions (Discharge to Sewer, Refrigerant ODP/GWP) 5%
    - Innovation (Exceeding Benchmarks, Environ Initiative)
    •Also conditional requirements
    - Not: agricultural land, old growth forest, near wetland
    •PVC Credit (2 pts out of 137)
    •LSZH likely to still be used for some time to come
    Standards Update - IEEE
    •Energy Efficient Ethernet
    - 10GBASE-T started at 17W/port & now 3.5W/port; Short Reach
    (30m): 2.5W/port
    •High Speed Ethernet

    •IEEE 802.3an - 10GBase-T
    - Class EA/Cat.6A designed to support over 100m (cf. CX-4 twinax of 7m)
    - Compare with Infiniband on CX-4 twinax to 7m
    •IEEE 802.11n - High Speed WiFi
    - 100 Mbps at 5 GHz (using MIMO technology)
    •IEEE 802.11s - Wireless Mesh
    - Ideal for outdoor CCTV connection
    •IEEE 802.3at - PoE Plus
    - 24W-30W in lieu of 12W- 13W, but more power equals more…
    - RJ45 outlets Vs GPOs
    - PoE++ - in draft form (80W-100W) – DC based servers?
    PoE Plus Available Now

    60W over 4Pr!


    DC Environmental Monitoring

    •Environmental harm such as extreme


    temperatures, humidity and flooding
    •Temperature: 20oC to 25oC
    •Humidity: 40% to 55%
    •Maximum Rate of Change: 5oCper Hour
    •Sprinkler systems

    •Human error and sabotage

    •Other threats
    •Power spikes
    •Radioactive/chemical materials.
    Summary
    •Many DC Standards

    •TIA 942-A and BICSI_002 best long term option

    •LSZH still best option for Green Star rated


    buildings

    •High Speed & Energy Efficient Ethernet

    •Power Ethernet Plus to have major impact
