Critical Vectors• Operation closer to the “edge” to realize savings

• Real time knowledge• Autonomic response

• Fabric architectures• FCoE (SAN/FC performance expectations)

• Two tier architectures –virtualization driven• ToR• Fat Trees

• Private “cloud”• Power/cooling – more than just reporting• Infrastructure as a “CMDB element”

40GBE over Multimode Fiber

• OM3: 100m, OM4: 150m• QSFP transceiver with 12 fiber MTP/MPO

connector• Uses outside 4 fibers on each side for Tx and Rx• Existing Panduit OM3 and OM4 MTP cables are

good for 40GBE• Since 10G TCVRs use duplex fiber more ribbon

fiber is required in the cable plant for 1 to 1 migration (6x)

100GBE over Multimode Fiber

• 100G over MMF requires CFP module today

• Most CFP will use 24 fiber MTP interface

• Will need to breakout 24 fiber to 2 x 12 fiber patch to connect to fiber plant

What Leading Industry Analysts are Saying…

“Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders must now go beyond performance management of IT equipment and begin to manage the entire data center infrastructure. Tools for data center infrastructure management (DCIM) will provide detailed monitoring and measurement of data center performance, utilization and energy consumption, supporting more-efficient, cost-effective and greener environments.”

–David J. Cappuccio, Gartner March 2010

What Leading Industry Analysts are Saying…

“The long-term value of DCIM is tied to a product’s ability to integrate with other system management tools or orchestration tools that optimize data center workloads.”

–Galen Schreck of Forrester Research December 2009

Using PUE to Help Measure Efficiency

Total Facility Power

IT Equipment Power

• The PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) is a simpleratio for assisting in measuring datacenter efficiency.It compares total electrical power at the intake topower delivered to IT equipment.• PUE is a snapshot in time and is entirely influencedby a site’s M&E configuration, environmentalconditions and Tier rating, PUE cannot be readilyused to compare one site with another but is used totrack the efficacy

Pushing the envelope Exploring the ASHREA Window

• 2004 specifications bound between 20-25 Degrees C• ASHREA worked closely with IT manufacturers to expand this window/region. This

included decreasing the dry bulb lower limit to 18 degree C and increasing the upper limit to 27 degrees C.

• DRY BULB LOWER LIMITThere is no concern from an IT standpoint in lowering the operating condition from 20 to 18°C (64.4°F). The goal here was to extend the control range of economized systems by not requiring a mixing of hot return air to maintain the previous limit.

• DRY BULB UPPER LIMITThe justification for increasing the dry bulb limit was to increase hours of economizer use per year. Concerns about increasing inlet temperature causing lower reliability are not well founded. IT Equipment manufacturers test, confirm, and state, through ASHRAE, that operation within the recommended limits will not affect equipment reliability
