Datacenter Design Practices

Prior to installing an ECOstructure solution, the physical infrastructure, including power,cooling and security must be reviewed and established, to insure that any new installa-tions will not overload existing systems.

APC recommends the following services:

2.1 Power Availability Assessment

APC’s Power Availability Assessment helps improve the power availability of businessprocesses by assessing the existing power infrastructure and recommending methods ofreaching an optimal availability level.

Qualified engineers will analyze the existing power infrastructure, including the powerdistribution path, extended outage and UPS protection, and power management strategy.This onsite inspection is conducted to verify the actual level of power availability for abusiness process. The key drivers of availability are identified and a custom solution isdeveloped, by a specialized APC engineering design team, to optimize the level of poweravailability for the business process.

The detailed findings and proposed solution are presented in a comprehensive report.

2.2 Physical Environment Availability Review

APC’s Physical Environment Availability Review helps avoid downtime by identifyingpotential risks within the physical environment of a datacenter.

Qualified engineers will review twenty-seven categories of site infrastructure factorsimpacting computer hardware reliability and uptime including poor-quality power, inad-equate cooling performance, and other conditions that otherwise might go undetected.We will also look at human factors and site infrastructure management practices. Expertsperform the review with extensive backgrounds in site failure investigation and relatedhuman factors. Their expert knowledge is complemented by comprehensive test equip-ment for measuring actual raised-floor performance. Detailed findings are presented in acomprehensive report. Conclusions are summarized in an easily understood format usinga red-yellow-green color rating system.

2.3 Physical Environment Availability Assessment (in partnership withComputerSite Engineering)

APC’s Physical Environment Availability Assessment improves the overall physical environ-ment availability of datacenters by identifying interacting points of failure and suggestingmodifications to improve the availability.

Experienced engineers will conduct a detailed physical inspection of all subsystems thatcomprise a site’s environmental infrastructure. They assess the likelihood of downtimeevents and problems that would impede a successful recovery should an emergencyoccur. A strategy is then developed to mitigate existing vulnerabilities.

Experienced uptime professionals perform the assessment using the latest data collectiontools, plus proprietary review and analysis systems. This comprehensive assessment resultsin a detailed report that includes a scorecard for each infrastructure subsystem withrecommendations identifying the actions necessary to change a red or yellow ratedsubsystem to a green rating.

How to Select Power Protection for ECOstructure

ECOstructure equipment can be divided into 5 general categories: Network, Storage, WebServers, Applications Servers and Database servers. In the flexible ECOstructure environ-ment, a site will have equipment from each category.

While the equipment at each ECOstructure site may vary, the UPS selection criteria willstay consistent.

There is a seven-step process for UPS selection:

Step 1: Determine Power requirements for each site, allowing margin for future expan-sion. Tables with power consumption information of recommended ECOstructure equip-ment are listed in section 4: UPS Load Calculations for ECOstructure.

Step 2: Determine the site voltage and circuit breaker requirements. Determine if anyequipment requires 208 Vac or 3 phase (the larger EMC Symmetrix systems are 3 phase).

Step 3: Define redundancy requirements. If N+1 power protection is required, defineoptimal method for UPS deployment to achieve redundancy.

Step 4: Determine UPS space requirements. Both the SMART-UPS (700VA to 5000 VA) andthe Symmetra RM (2 KVA to 6 KVA) are available in 19” rackmount models. The Symmetra(4KVA – 16 KVA N+1) and 3-phase Silcon family are free standing systems.

Step 5: Determine AC receptacle, Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and circuit breakerrequirements.

Step 6: Determine Runtime Requirements: In the event of a power outage, how long willthe system be required to run to 1) continue functioning and 2) provide a graceful shut-down.

Step 7: Determine additional needs. APC offers hardware accessories as well as softwarefeatures to offer complete power and facility infrastructure management. Software andSMARTaccessories are discussed in section 9: APC UPS Accessories and section 10: APCSoftware Integration.

3.1 UPS Family Selection

APC offers four power protection UPS product lines for the ECOstructure. The recom-mended UPS model is determined by the load, site voltage and runtime requirements.

• Silcon 3-Phase System• Symmetra 4 KVA to 16 KVA Power Array• Symmetra RM 2 to 6 KVA Power Array• SMART-UPS 700 to 5000 VA

3.2 Creating Power Redundancy

Each UPS family can be configured to create N+1 power systems. The Symmetra PowerArray’s modular architecture designed for N+1 power and battery redundancy while the3-phase Silcon system utilizes external synchronization modules to create N+1 redun-dancy. The SMART-UPS family uses an additional product called a Redundant Switch tocreate N+1 power redundancy.

Modularity and scalability are discussed in detail in the specific product sections (sections5–8).

10

3.3 Runtime Considerations

For mission critical applications where long runtimes are essential, a UPS with expandable,extended-run power is recommended. Achieving 99.999% uptime requires a UPS with aruntime of greater than one hour or the addition of a generator.

The given runtime of a UPS is directly related to the input load. There are a couple ways toachieve the desired runtime:

1) In many cases, extended run capability is achieved by over-sizing the UPS itself.2) Runtime can be added by simply plugging in additional battery packs. The Smart-

UPS XL increases availability with N+1 batteries. Extended battery packs runningin parallel with internal batteries provide both extended runtime and redundancyif a battery should fail. Smart-UPS battery packs are hot-swappable so you neverhave to take down your mission-critical load(s) to service the unit.

The following graph shows the typical runtime based on the loading percentage of the UPS.

3.4 How to Determine UPS Runtime Requirements Based on Power Availability

APC offers the Availability Profiler™, which is a tool designed to estimate both the poweravailability level and the cost of downtime of key business processes. The profile question-naire covers geography, site, building, and process questions. Using the results, theAvailability Profiler tool extrapolates how many power problems would have been avoidedif a UPS were used to protect computer equipment.

Based on these inputs, the profile will illustrate the power availability from the servicepanel entrance, to the point of consumption, to the components that make up theprocess, and to the overall business process. This information is then used to recalculatethe power availability based on a given UPS runtime and computer reboot time.

11

3.5 Calculating Power Availability

In general, data from surveys agree with APC field experience on power quality andsummarized in the following points:

• The average number of outages sufficient to cause IT system malfunction per yearat a typical site is approximately 15.

• 90% of the outages are less than 5 minutes in duration.• 95% of the outages are less than 1 hour in duration• Total cumulative outage duration is approximately 100 minutes per year

Source: APC Tech Note #26 “Effect of the UPS on System Availability”

In a business process, a momentary power outage will cause the IT resources to beunavailable until the component with the longest Mean Time to Recover (MTTR) is back toits functional state. MTTR includes the time it takes to reboot the computer, restartapplications and reconnect to the network.

The following table shows how a UPS can improve power availability when the IT equip-ment can continue to function during power disruptions.

3.6 Thermal Dissipation

The extra cooling required for the UPS can be calculated using:

[Load Power Dissipation (Watts)] × [100% - UPS efficiency] × 3.414 BTU/hr / Watt =Additional heat in BTU/Hour

4.3 Power Ratings for ECOstructure Servers

From a UPS sizing perspective, the open standard on the server selection makes the powerconsumption calculations more challenging.

4.3.1 Power Ratings for ECOstructure - Database Cluster Servers

There should be at least two database cluster servers in the ECOstructure blueprint. Thedatabase cluster servers will most likely be UNIX with an abundance of RAM (Oracle 8iminimum requirements are 128 MB but 2-4 GB is recommended). Each system should bemultiprocessor (4 CPUs or more) with 2 to 4 disk drives, a CD-ROM as well as numerousexpansion slots for NIC cards.

The following table is a summary of potential servers used as ECOstructure DatabaseCluster Servers.

4.3.2 Power Ratings for ECOstructure - Application Servers

There should be at least two Application Servers in the ECOstructure blueprint. TheApplication servers will most likely be UNIX, LINUX or NT with an abundance of RAM (1-2GB is recommended). Each system should be multiprocessor (2 CPUs or more) with 2 to 4disk drives, as well as numerous expansion slots for NIC cards.

4.3.3 Power Ratings for ECOstructure - Web Servers

There will typically be a 1 to 1 ratio of Web to Application Servers in the ECOstructureblueprint. The Web servers do not require multiple processors but need 2 to 4 disk drives,as well as numerous expansion slots for NIC cards.

The following table is a summary of potential servers used as ECOstructure Web Servers.

4.4 Note on Graceful Server Shutdown

Gracefully shutting down servers is important to preserve the data integrity and reducetotal cost of ownership. However, The ECOstructure environment does not specify thenumber of servers or even the operating systems.

APC offers hardware and software solutions for graceful shutdowns in a mixed environ-ment. The hardware solution is the APC Share-UPS that can provide shutdown capabilityfor up to eight servers. The software solution works over the network. APC’s PowerChuteNetwork Shutdown software works in conjunction with APC’s Web/SNMP ManagementCard to provide graceful, unattended shutdown of multiple computer systems over anetwork. Its scalable architecture can support a virtually unlimited number of clientsystems. Administrators can quickly configure the software via a browser-based interface,and can customize command files to run on each server in the event of an unattendedshutdown

Symmetra Power Array:4 to 16 KVA

The Symmetra™ Power Array™ is a modular, high performance, on-line, double conversionUPS that is targeted for users with single-phase output power needs in the 8kVA to 16kVArange. The Symmetra™ Power Array™ system is comprised of a frame, a variable numberof power and battery modules, a main intelligence module, and a redundant intelligencemodule. Optional XR Battery Expansion frames provide module bays for additional batterymodules (which increases the run-time capacity of the system.) All of the Symmetra™Power Array™ line of products utilize the same modular components, and share a com-mon frame construction.

With a redundant intelligence module, at least one redundant power module, and at leasttwo battery modules installed, any module (including the intelligence module) can bereplaced by the user, without putting the load at risk. The number of additional batteryand power modules that are installed determines the level of redundancy. The Symmetra™Power Array™ frame provides a terminal block for connecting a remote emergency poweroff switch, an automatic bypass and cooling fans. A MasterFrame (SYMSTRF & SYMSTRFI)provides bays for five power modules, and four battery modules. The MiniFrame (SYMINIF& SYMINIFI) provides bays for three power modules, and two battery modules. A user canpurchase spare modules for “instant” service of failed modules.

6.3 Creating Redundancy with Symmetra

The modular nature of the Symmetra Power Array allows considerable flexibility in userconfiguration and service. Because the output power is derived from a user-definednumber of 4kVA power modules, a user can increase the power capacity of the SymmetraPower Array by adding hot-pluggable power modules. In a similar manner, adding hot-pluggable battery modules can increase runtime. The parallel connection of power andbattery modules provides fault tolerance for the Symmetra system itself. By adding onepower module more than is required to power the load, the Symmetra Power Arraybecomes a redundant (N+1) power source. With this configuration, any one powermodule can fail and the load is still provided with basic UPS protection.

6.4 Symmetra Thermal Dissipation

The following table gives typical thermal dissipation for a fully functioning SymmetraPower Array system. Note that heat production and output is significantly higher whilethe batteries are charging. Under normal operating conditions, battery recharge periodsare relatively infrequent.

Check country specific requirements in APC Technical Note #T13 “International Line VoltageSpecifications” for country specific site voltage requirements.

8.2 UPS Input AC Line Plug Selection:

A customer may replace the standard AC input line plug with a different UL recognizedplug. However, the customer must take care to ensure that the plug meets the NationalElectric Code requirements.

Important tip: The NEC (NFPA 70 National Electrical Code) section 210-21 lists the limitsfor AC plugs and receptacles (80% of a plug’s current rating at nominal voltage). Forexample, if a UPS has a 20 amp input plug then the maximum steady state input current is16 Amps.

Larger UPS (2200VA or greater) may require an AC input plug different from the standardAC plug shipped with the UPS.

A unit that has been purposely oversized for extended runtime or for future expansion,may require a larger AC input plug. When planning to install a 120V version of the Smart-UPS models 2200 or 3000, care must be taken to insure that the proper receptacle isavailable at the installation site, with respect to the plug that ships with the unit.
