Overview on Data Center :

Data Center is an IT infrastructure space where numerous servers & machine equipments are assembled to collect, store and transfer massive amount of data. As dependence on servers are expanding safety, reliability, operation and energy consumption of data centres are of prime importance for any organization.

Why we need Data Center Assessment ??

  • Data center downtimes happen to every organization sometimes, 1.7 trillion $ has been lost by business due to data loss and downtime in 2014.
  • 50% energy bills are due to inefficient cooling & power design, implementation & lack of maintenance.
  • Data center audit ensure the conformity of the system which will add the organizational value.

Three major problems most IT organization experience in a data center :

  1. Overheating
  2. Electrical power uptime
  3. Poor Cabling

Bigeta Approach:

We do comprehensive review of all critical areas like Computer room, UPS & Battery Room and HVAC to identify gaps and evaluate measures to improve/upgrade Data centre performance and reliability.

Scope of Work :

  1. Data Centre Assessment

(a) Assessment of Reliability of Electrical Power System

  • Assessment of power quality.
  • Assessment of Electrical Power distribution.
  • Earthing system review.
  • Harmonics Analysis.
  • Review and Performance evaluation of UPS & Battery Management System.
  • Identify Single point of failure (SPOF).

(b) Thermal Imaging

  • To identify electrical panel & server racks.
  • To identify air leakages.

(c) Power usage effectiveness (PUE)

  • Determine the operating efficiency of data center

(d) Mechanical System

  • Review of Cooling infrastructure.
  • Performance assessment of cooling unit.
  • Evaluating of redundancy.
  • Review of Air conditioning management.
  • Review of Air flow & air distribution management.

(e) TIER rating Review

  • Based on existing Electrical and Mechanical systems.

(f) Review of Room Layout Management

(g) Review of Safety & security system

(h) Fire, Safety and Security systems review

  1. Quarterly visit, documentation review and reporting
  • We review all the preventive maintenance reports, operational procedures, and incident reports.
  • For 1-year, Quarterly review (4 Quarters) physical onsite inspection of the systems.

Deliverables :

DC Assessment Report

A detailed report consisting of

  • Measurement and Observation results of cooling and electrical system.
  • Baseline – Present Energy consumption (segregated energy consumption data of IT, HVAC and Losses).
  • TEIR rating of existing system as per Uptime Institute.
  • List of critical points and gaps in the system.
  • Recommendations and Suggestions to improve the operating efficiency.
  • Recommendations to improve the system to continue competitive with industry benchmarks.

Quarterly review Report (4 Quarters )

  • A review / progress report contains observations on action plans, preventive, and periodic maintenance reports suggestions to improve operating efficiency.

  3. Poor Cabling

Bigeta Approach:

Companies aspire to improve & review their data center can consult Bigeta energy solution technical and trained expertise for an absolute assessment. We do comprehensive review of all critical areas ie server room, system room, cable & network assessment, communication assessments as well as physical (mechanical, electrical) assessment of your data center. Data center assessment deliver key benefits i.e. improve efficiency which reduce cost, improve reliability the facility.

Data Center Audit & Assessment

Our organization will get a holistic and thorough review into the data center. Our team will evaluate whole facility and submit a comprehensive report on:

Scope of Work :

1. DRC Assessment

  • Assessment of power quality.
  • Assessment of Electrical System.
  • Electrical Distribution
  • Earthing System review and healthiness check
  • Earthing System review and healthiness check.
  • Thermography to assess hotspot in the system.
  • Rack temperature monitoring to detect any hotspots.
  • UPS Characteristics
  • Fire and Safety review

2. Quarterly visit, documentation review and reporting

  • We review all the preventive maintenance reports, operational procedures, and incident reports.
  • For 1-year, Quarterly review (4 Quarters) physical onsite inspection of the systems.

Deliverables

DC and NDR Assessment Report

  • A detailed report contains recorded parameters, thermal images, temperature mapping safety observations, suggestions to improve electrical safety and reliability.

Quarterly review Report (4 Quarters )

  • A review / progress report contains observations on action plans, preventive, and periodic maintenance reports suggestions to improve electrical safety and reliability.

Generally our approaches involve approximately 3-4 weeks, depending on the size and intricacy of your organization.
