Q. What is a data center? A. A data center is where the majority of an enterprise servers and storage are located, operated and managed. 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. Raise the temperature of the data center to around 24 degrees Celsius, while ensuring that all equipment is certified at the new temperature. This will reduce the level of cooling required and, thus, the energy bill. Most line of business managers take for granted 100 percent IT up time, instant access to trained support personnel, uninterrupted access to data, and are dependent on top-flight management of IT assets in data centers. The usual goal of virtualization is to centralize administrative tasks while improving scalability and work loads. Businesses spend a lot of money powering unused server capacity. Virtualization reduces the number of physical servers, reducing the energy required to power and cool them. The cost of restoring the lost information or restoring a computer to operation after a hardware or software failure is high due to the costs of technical support and lost employee productivity. The Cisco Unified Computing System enables more dynamic and agile data centers, in which server identity (MAC addresses, worldwide names [WWNs], firmware and BIOS revisions, network and storage connectivity profiles and policies, etc.) can be dynamically provisioned or migrated to any physical server within the system. Building green IT systems do come with an added cost. These systems do need to take into account the overall short and long term sustainability, the total cost of ownership and the costs of safe recycling and disposal. But when used with efficient and effective policies, the return on investment can be much greater for the organization, employees and the community. Both small businesses and global enterprises have users all over the world who require access to data 24 hours a day. Without this data access, revenue and customers can be lost, penalties can be owed, and bad press can have a lasting effect on customers and a company's reputation. Building a high availability IT infrastructure is critical to the success and well being of all enterprises in today's fast moving economy. The Cisco Nexus 5010 Switch foundation is built upon High-performance 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Data Center Ethernet, Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), and Virtual-machine-optimized networking. |
