What is a Data Center

A data center is a physical facility that

organizations use to house their critical
applications and data.

A data center's design is based on a

network of computing and storage
resources that enable the delivery of shared
applications and data.
What is a Data Center

Simple Example of a Data center is:

Tier Classification of a Data Center

 Tier 1 Data Center ( A basic Data Center )

 Tier 2 Data Center ( A redundant Data Center )

 Tier 3 Data Center ( A concurrently maintainable Data Center )

 Tier 4 Data Center ( A fault tolerant Data Center )

Tier 1 Data Center

A Basic Data Center

 Non-redundant Data Center w/ single Distribution
path.
 Vurnerable to human and operational errors.
 Requires annual maintenance to prevent serious
operation failure.
 Maintenance requires site wide shutdown.

The requirements for a Tier 1 facility are:

 An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for power
spikes and outages.
 A designated space for IT systems.
 An engine-generator.
 Dedicated cooling equipment that runs outside
office hours.
Tier 2 Data Center

A Redundant Data Center

 Redundant capacity component w/ single
Distribution path.
 Component can be removed without impacting
computer equipment
 Vulnerable to human and operational errors.
 Annual maintenance requires site wide shutdown.

These data centers offer better protection

against disruptions with:
 Extra engine generators.  Raised floors.
 Energy storage.  UPS modules.
 Chillers.  Pumps.
 Heat rejection  Fuel tanks and cells.
 equipment.
Extra cooling units.
Tier 3 Data Center

A Concurrently Maintanable
Data Center
 Redundant capacity component w/ Multiple,
independent distribution path.
 Component can be removed without impacting
computer equipment
 Somewhat vulnerable to human and operational
errors.
 Annual maintenance can be completed while data
center remains operational.
A tier 3 facilities must also have N+1
availability:
 "N" refers to the necessary capacity to support
the full IT load.
 "+1" stands for an extra component for backup
purposes.
Tier 4 Data Center

A Fault Tolerant Data Center

 Multiple, independent, physically isolated
capacity components and distribution paths.
 Physically isolated system prevent massive
infrastructure failure.
 Component can be removed without implacong
computer equipments..
 System Self Heals - Automatically respond to
prevent further site failure.
 Not vulnerable to human and operational error.
 Annual maintenance can be completed while data
center remains operational.
Which Tier is Right for You
 If you Business needs for hosting are:
 Short-Term
 Lesser Cost
 Fast Setup

• Then you should pick either a TIER 1 or TIER 2 DATA CENTER

 If you Business needs for hosting are:

 Long-Term
 Dependable Uptime
 Fault Tolerant Hosting

• Then you should pick either a TIER 3 or TIER 4 DATA CENTER
