What is a Data Center? A data center is a facility used for housing electronic equipment, typically computers and communications equipment. Data centers can be private, serving a single company or, public serving several companies. Practically every company that is mid-sized or larger has some kind of data center.
Joe Joplin Data Center from Conception to Operation
What type of Data Center are you designing? The Uptime Institute created a 4 Tier rating system of data centers, Tier-1 to Tier-4. Tier-1 data centers are the most basic while a Tier-4 is fundamentally immune to planned and unplanned downtime. Avoid terms like near Tier-3 data center and Tier-3 plus. These classifications do not exist. The Institute has revised its standards to better explain their ratings. The rating system is an absolute. You are only as good as your weakest link.

Performance Test
Any capacity component failure will impact the computer systems. Any distribution path failure will impact the computer systems.
Planned work will require most or all of the systems to be shut down 99.671% availability
equivalent of 28.8 hours of annual downtime or 4.74 min/day

Planned work will require most or all of the systems to be shut down 99.741% availability
equivalent of 22.7 hours of annual downtime or 3.73 min/day
Dual power inputs required for all computer hardware Planned work will not require the systems to be shut down
But may elevate the risk of disruption
99.982% availability
equivalent of 1.6 hours of annual downtime or .26 min/day (15.6 sec/day)
Dual power inputs required for all computer hardware Planned work will not require the systems to be shut down 99.995% availability
equivalent of .4 hours of annual downtime or .07 min/day (4.3 sec/day)
Tier III and Tier IV solutions are long term solutions to outlast current IT Technology
Tier III introduces concurrent maintenance to every component Tier IV introduces fault tolerance to every component
Power Calculations
Current Load for Critical Equipment
Servers, routers, computers, storage devices, telecommunications equipment, etc.
Future Load for Critical Equipment Load for UPS & Batteries Load for non-critical Equipment
Lighting, Security, Fire, Monitoring, etc.
Future Load for Critical Equipment Estimated that equipment will be increased by 33% in the next 3 years Future Load = Current Load x 33% Future Load = 31.2 kW x 33% = 10.3 kW
Batteries
Charging load to be 20% after a full or partial discharge Battery load = 20% x (Current Load + Future Load) Battery load = .20 x (31.2 kW + 10.3 kW) = 8.30 kW
Assuming the worst case scenario of 1:1 Cooling requirement will be 100% of the Total Load
1 x 59 kW = 59 kW
Calculating Generator Size Calculated Size 165 kW Generators are typically classified by kVAs
The type power factor for these ratings is .8

Industry Standard for all equipment
Draw in cool air from the front and expel hot from the rear
Create a Floor Master plan Put heavy/hotter equipment on the bottom of your racks Distribute power consumption (heat) evenly among your racks Cabling should be routed between racks or in the hot aisles
Avoid air damns on the front of your equipment
