3. Yesterday’s infrastructureBuilt one server at a time • Many people • Many manual steps • Many weeks • Human error Line of businessselects application Get purchase approvals Project planningmeetings And moremeetings Order server facilities storage network server Server delivery Move to test center unpack inventory Build process Move to production environment Change controlapprovals Re-cable andmove into production

4. Today’s integratedinfrastructureProvisioned when needed • Less people • A few automated steps • Integrated information • Same functionality for virtual and physical servers – no compromises! Line of businessselects application Choose infrastructure application template (right size?, right app?) Verify resource allocation (self-service portal) Tool determines available resources and when Workflow starts automatically Push “go” A full application infrastructure up and running!

18. General Industry DC cooling Best Practices Hot aisle/cold aisle Eliminate gaps in rows Use longer rows Use blanking panels Orient AC units perpendicular to hot aisles Use 0.8m to 1.0m high floors Seal cable cutouts Use high/low density areas matching airflow requirements. Deploy power efficient platforms Enable server power management features • Lower server temperatures • Better system reliability • Better uptime • Extends life of current data center • Maximizes server density • Increased reliability of your servers • Lower energy usage • Lower TCO Results in… 27

19. Datacenter Environmental Edge HP Datacenter Environmental Edge is a Datacenter Environmental Visualization Solution with • Wireless Rack level temperature and humidity sensors every 3rd rack • 6 External and 2 internal sensors per rack, • Air pressure sensors every 500 ft2/50 m2, • Other optional sensors as needed, (i.e. KWH, Chilled water flow) • Graphical visualization interface providing Datacenter temperature, humidity & air pressure • Services required • Hardware and Software installation • System commissioning • Post deployment support. 28

20. Conventional Room Control and Sensing Conventional control is a carry over from room level comfort cooling, Conventional control regulates the return air temperature to a given setpoint. Typically this is 68-72°F. Conventional control results in very cold air being supplied to the room ~ 55°F on average due to mixing in the room. Fans are typically fixed speed running continuously at 100% Individual Air Handlers are self controlled and not coordinated.
