Examples: Higher operating temperatures for servers leads to relaxed ASHRAE limits; Aisle Containment – Tighter management of hot/cold air All overhead solutions (power/network/grounding); eliminates the need for raised flooring Auto-sensing power supplies don’t need 120/208V (240V) Product application: Incorporating new products available on the market (MV) Greater Security & Audit Requirements Modular building approach/containers Industry Trends
6
Primary Goals: Create a Design that addresses Industry Trends By developing a product that... 1. Is cheaper to build on a per megawatt basis 2. Has lower maintenance costs 3. Has industry leading PUE Project Goals LOW BUILD COSTS LOW MAINT COSTS LOWEST PUE
7
SUPPORTING GOALS: 1. MODULAR – Where “modular” refers to a design which may be constructed expeditiously and unobtrusively in logical, incremental building blocks that help defer costs 2. FLEXIBILITY a. Offer a variety of room SIZES and LOAD densities b. Offer SECURITY options c. Support an array of CUSTOMER layouts d. Provisions for CONTAINER hook-ups Project Goals

ACC7 – Subdivided Computer Room Steel Mesh Wall Segregates Room Into Smaller Offerings
16
More Stringent Security & Audit Requirements: TREND: Physical segregation between servers & infrastructure OPPORTUNITY: Provide flexible optional security galleries Introduce steel mesh fencing Provides physical separation Displaces minimum floor space NO modifications to elec/mech infrastructure Unraveling Trends – Security
17
ACC7 – Computer Room w/ Gallery Optional steel mesh Gallery walls segregate Client space from DFT equipment

Greater Server Tolerance For Higher T’s Higher Supply & Return Chiller Water T’s Greater Opportunity For Free Cooling Smaller Chillers & Pumps Greater Energy Savings Lower PUE Higher Supply & Return Air T’s Unraveling Trends
21
TREND: HIGHER OPERATING TEMPERATURES: SOLUTION: Water Side Economization Plant with Chiller assist Primary Chilled water production by heat exchangers to provide 65-70F water (regionally dependent) Year round contribution from heat exchangers with chiller assist as needed Increased chilled water temperature difference of up to 25°F (vs. the conventional 10°F). Chiller Assist
22
HIGHER OPERATING TEMPERATURES: Allows for more hours of FREE COOLING (economizer operation) and significantly smaller chillers and lower pumping horsepower Reduced CRAH fan horsepower by 60% versus traditional units, while delivering the same cooling capacity performance Requires greater management of hot and cold air. Containment is mandatory Chiller Assist
23
CRAH Cabinet Ceiling Space Aisle Containment – Greater management of hot/cold air
24
Medium Voltage & Isolated Parallel (I-P) UPS
25
Medium vs Low Voltage Distribution: TREND: Advances in MV circuit breakers, switchgear & PDUs OPPORTUNITY: MV Distribution in the Data Center Reduces feeders by factor of 7X Significant cost savings Increased Reliability Increased Flexibility Unraveling Trends – New Products
26
Medium Voltage - Advantages
27
Greater safety—lower arc flash ARC containing MV switchgear designs are PPE Category 0 under NFPA 70E Higher Reliability Cooler running ductbanks, fewer terminations Linear Actuated Breakers More reliable (fewer moving parts = longer lasting CB) Faster clearing times Greater flexibility in DC layout - longer feeders without huge cost Greener building—less copper, PVC, steel MV Advantages
28
Introducing the new “MV PDU” A potentially disruptive technology Deconstructed PDU with separate transformer and distribution panels Single “A” and “B” oil–filled PDU transformers replace the equivalent of ten (10) conventional 300kVA PDU’s Less footprint = greater cabinet yield MV Product Advantages “I’m back from the future!”
29
Outstanding Efficiency! 99.6% vs 97.5% for dry- type Significant overload capabilities: 150% continuously MV PDU
