AGENDA

Optimized Airflow Cabling services

Rear Door Heat Exchanger

Energy Efficiency Assessment

Thermal Modeling




Can you rely on your cabling system?




Thermal Management

Airflow within rack impacts component cooling

Air moves between levels

Air stays between and around active components

Facilitate front to back air flow

Cables can choke only air flow that the electronics have because of their mass quantity and size.

IBM Enterprise Fiber Cabling solutionThe IBM Enterprise Fiber Cabling solution.

IBM Enterprise Fiber Cabling, called IBM FiberTransport System, is IBM's answer to the disorganized, risk-ridden cabling found in many client data centers and computer rooms. Without appropriate connectivity, even the latest and greatest servers and storage systems will not provide the availability, and scalability that clients expect from these key investments.

IBM Enterprise Fiber Cabling is a structured fiber cabling solution that includes planning, fiber optic trunks and jumper cables, installation, education, and documentation. This solution leverages IBM's knowledge of mission critical systems and the cabling connections required to support these systems and your client's business.

Determine how much improvement is necessary by measuring the data center against a simple energy efficiency standard

Compares total power in to the data center to the power actuallyused by the technology – Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE)

RECOMMENDATIONS after modeling

• Change the perforated tiles

• Add under-floor containment

• Relocation of UPS & Battery racks

• Simulate about 30 times

Can you manage your structured cabling?




Cabling Practices affect proper airflow

The Uptime institute found that 78% of the total bypass airflow is caused by unsealed cabling holes in the raised floor which allow cold air to circulate directly into the hot aisle and create potential air dams within the cabinets.

Cables used in cabinets with excessive slack will block the airflow capacity through cabinets and Racks.

One of the causes of hot spots in a data center is caused by bypass airflow. In addition to unsealed cable openings, open rack spaces allows hot air to travel to the front of the cabinet and mix with the cold air.

The assessment is done to investigate whether the currently installed fiber optic infrastructure is still in compliance with the standards and is well maintained or needs to be updated.

Why the Assessment?

To protect the installed investment!

To get a full picture of the existing installation!

Be sure to have a optimized Airflow!

To avoid any impact of damaged fibers to the networking system (downtime)!

To provide the customer with the latest testing & measurement expertise!

To keep the customer updated on new fiber technology trends!

The Optimizes Airflow Assessment for Cabling is a billable offering.

The recommendations will lead to billable offerings.

The gathered information during the assessment can lead to offerings beyond cabling.
