Is Your Company experiencing these trends?
Rapid changes in IT technology
Regulatory requirements
Increasing availability expectations
High operating/service costs
High density
Server consolidation
In response, APC is changing the way the world designs, installs, operates, manages and maintains Network-Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI). What is NCPI?

What is Network Critical Physical Infrastructure (NCPI)?
The facility, physical support, power, and cooling for Information Technology
NCPI consists of:
Power (UPS, Power Distribution)
Air (Air Conditioners, Air Distribution)
Rack (Enclosures, Cable Mgmt, etc.)
Management (common platform)
Services (professional & break/fix)Data Centres or “IT Rooms” could be as small as an oversized closet or as large as a 100,000 square foot facility!

NCPI Challenges

1. Optimize capital investment and available space
2. Accelerate Speed of deployment
3. Lower the cost of Service contracts
Lifecycle Cost / Economics

Average Utilization of NCPI
•Forecasted capacity does not equal actual demand• Over sizing results in lost capital & operating $$
•Data centers are everbuilt to the most optimistic future needs that may ever be realized

4. Plan for a Power Density that is increasing and
unpredictable
5. Adapt to ever changing environments
6. Vendor Neutral Mounting

7. Minimize Human Error
8. Minimize points of failure between NCPI
and the critical load
9. Reduce failure points that drop customers
simultaneously
10. Eliminate Hot Spots

Needs Assessment

The Design Concept is built on standardized parts that can be scaled to meet the need?
Construction Design incorporates a “Lego Block” approach of pre-engineered components?
Construction is mainly done in a factory instead of on-site?
Commissioning tests pre-integrated infrastructure systems.
It should be that …..

The next step…
For the next project, challenge your team to:
• Dramatically increase availability
• Do it in half the time
• Right size to the current requirement
• Make sure it can adapt
To help you, we can team with your staff to:
• Survey opportunities for savings
• Develop options for increased availability
• Deliver scalable systems on short notice that minimize over-sizing
