What systems in a data center should be maintained on an ongoing basis? A. All the supporting systems in a data center face heavy loads and must be properly maintained to continue operating satisfactorily. These systems include cooling, humidification, air handling, power distribution, backup power generation and much more. Per-rack power requirements constrain the number of racks a data center can support. A typical 10,000 - 20,000 sq. ft. facility designed for 50 - 100 watts/sq. ft requires 1/2 megawatt to 2 megawatts of power. Availability and cost of utility power in the megawatt range is expensive and difficult to obtain. Supporting infrastructure - generators, ATS, UPS, and distribution equipment - also are costly. Careful planning and growth projections must be maintained to ensure power requirements can be met. Data center and IT managers must pay sufficient attention to the process of measuring, monitoring and modeling energy use in data centers. In-house data centers can be a business weak link if proper attention isn’t paid to power use, cooling capacity, disaster recovery preparedness, running IT to support compliance initiatives, and staffing flexibility to support utility computing initiatives. The idea is that virtualization disguises the true complexity of the network by separating it into manageable parts, much like your partitioned hard drive makes it easier to manage your files. Ini a virtualized network, each virtual machine can interact independently with other devices, applications, data and users as though it were a separate physical resource. In many businesses, critical data is stored on desktop and laptop computers outside the reach of most enterprise storage management software products. This data is at significant risk. The Cisco Unified Computing System creates a highly dynamic and cohesive integration with network and storage resources to meet the rapidly changing needs in today's data centers. There is growing pressure from environmentalists and, increasingly, the general public for governments to offer green incentives: monetary support for the creation and maintenance of ecologically responsible technologies. High availability is a system design protocol and associated implementation that ensures a certain degree of operational continuity during a given measurement period. Nexus sets the stage for converged Fibre Channel and Ethernet networks. The Nexus products will allow companies to consolidate their separate server and storage networking infrastructures onto one unified network fabric. |
