Efficiency and Sustainability

Design Drivers The Primary design driver was to improve efficiency -without compromising resilience or security This was to satisfy a requirement from existing clients and for standards such as the EU Data Centre Code of Conduct, as well as reducing operational costs. Three examples of embedding efficiency into the design of the Data Centre. First photograph shows light coloured equipment cabs and walls that help to reduce the power consumed by the lighting system Middle picture shows air conditioning mixing chamber where most of the sites efficiency gains have been achieved. Right hand photo illustrates layout and optimisation of High Voltage electrical distribution systems - and selection of equipment- to minimise electrical transmission losses Reduce energy and water consumption without compromising resilience and availability, or security

The Cooling Solution Low-speed exhaust fans – 8 x 2.1m Diameter
Should be no surprise when we tell you that the statistical weather data shows us that on average the outside air temperature in this region only exceeds the desired hall temperature of 24 degrees C for 20 hours per year! Consequently we designed the cooling solution to take advantage of the abundant cool air. 99.7%, often referred to as Air Side Free Cooling. Enclosed cold aisles Low-speed exhaust fans – 8 x 2.1m Diameter Mixing & Humidification Chamber Large floor plenum (5m deep)

Air flow without containment
Typical Data Centre IT cabinet layout Air flow without containment 28° C Server Rack Server Rack 28°C Server Rack This represents a conventional hot and cold aisle data centre layout and illustrates the contamination of the cold aisle with re-circulating warm air, and wasted cold air being lost directly into the return air path. Server inlet temperatures are inconsistent with the bottom servers operating colder than those in the top of the cab. Servers use more energy as they sense warmer air inlet temperatures they increase their fan speeds. Server + Network equipment can be less reliable in certain circumstances Air Conditioning less efficient. Animated slide, animation only works when slideshow is run.

Air flow with containment
Wynyard IT cabinet layout Air flow with containment 38° C Server Rack Server Rack Server Rack 24°C This illustrates a relatively simple solution, the cold air is “contained” in the cold aisle, this also prevents hot air re-circulating and contaminating the cold aisle. Consequently server inlet temperature are more consistent which makes them more reliable AND allows the cooling systems to run much more efficiently (approximately 40% saving of cooling effort) Animated slide, animation only works when slideshow is run.

Data Centre Power Utilisation Effectiveness (PUE)
Industry standard measure of Data Centre Infrastructure Efficiency PUE = Total Energy Consumed / Given Period Energy Consumed by IT Equipment / Given period Typical Legacy Data Centre PUE is around 3 Current best practice for a new conventional DC = 1.5 (66.6% efficient) Wynyard = 1.2 (83.3% efficient) = Energy reduction of 25,000 Megawatt Hours of electricity per year and a Carbon reduction of 12,500 Tonnes of CO2 per year when compared to a new conventional DC, - based on four fully loaded data halls 13

Environmental Operating Criteria
Standards Body– American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Designed to comply with ASHRAE “recommended” standards ASHRAE Operating Parameters extended during our design process ASHRAE (recommended) (allowable) Temperature (db) Max 27C 32C Min 18C 15C Humidity 60% 80% 5.5C Dew point 20% Just to indicate the fact that most DC operators tend to overcool their facilities 14

Sustainability Summary
The Primary site design driver was to reduce energy + water consumption and reduction in CO2 emissions measures taken to reduce environmental impact include:- Efficient and flexible cooling system Light coloured IT equipment cabs to reduce lighting requirements Intelligent lighting system Optimisation of electrical systems Rain Water Harvesting system Solar panel for heating wash room hot water Replacement of existing paved parking areas with soft landscaping Increased biodiversity through planting and habitat improvement ISO Accreditation EU Data Centre Code of Conduct Accreditation - Participant Member BREEAM rating : Excellent 16 16

Pairs of Single Corded Equipment
– common errors + misconceptions Router A Firewall A Switch A Router B Firewall B Switch B UPS A UPS B Logical Stream 1 Logical Stream 2 Server Equipment – Dual corded There are two seemingly resilient pairs of data equipment and a single IT hardware fault will not interrupt service, but if the fault causes a circuit breaker to trip, or work is required on one of the power streams, then both logical streams will be impacted because of the lack of diligence in the way the electrical feeds have been arranged.

Physical Security
23
Security Overview Physical Security is multi layered and starts at the site boundary and continues all the way through to the I.T. equipment cabinets. All staff are security vetted. Security procedures include mandatory pre- notification of all visitors and all deliveries. Site Threat Levels determined by intelligence from Local and National Police and CTSA, CPNI, and HP Security. Site Response Levels are determined by the threat level and type of threat.
24
Security Design Criteria
Meet or exceed existing Government Client requirements. Process information “protectively marked” at a “Severe” threat level. Meet or exceed stringent “Commercial” client requirements. defined by FCA, PCI, Sarbanes Oxley, and Client Specific Standards. The majority of our current clients are UK Government Departments, Energy, Health Sector, or Financial Institutions. ISO27001 Accreditation CNI Registered site The security design was completed in line with best practices, guidelines, and industry standards. Specific standards included:- British Security Industry Association (BSIA) Guidelines. UK Government Guidelines, including- CPNI – Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure. Cabinet Office Security Policy Framework National Infrastructure Security Co-Ordination Centre (NISCC) “Protecting Data Centres, Good Practice Guide”. Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB/CAST) Guidelines. Catalogue of Security Equipment (CatSec).
