Data Center (DC)
• A data center - also known as a data center or data center - is a facility
made up of networked computers, storage systems, and computing
infrastructure that businesses and other organizations use to
organize, process, store large amounts of data
Data Center Infrastructure Design:
• Point-to-point interconnects
• Multipoint interconnects
• Hub-and-spoke interconnects
• Meshed interconnects
• Cloud-based interconnects
• Software-defined interconnects (SDI)
• Virtualized interconnects
• Overlay networks
Elements of DC
• Calculation
• enterprise data storage
• Networking
A modern data center concentrates an organization's data systems in a well-
protected physical infrastructure, which includes:
• Server;
• storage subsystems;
• networking switches, routers, and firewalls;
• cabling; And
• Physical racks for organizing and interconnecting IT equipment.
Datacenter Resources typically
include:
• power distribution and supplementary power subsystems;
• electrical switching;
• UPS;
• backup generator;
• ventilation and data center cooling systems, such as in-row cooling
configurations and computer room air conditioners; And
• Adequate provision for network carrier (telecom) connectivity.
Data center interconnect (DCI)
• Data center interconnect (DCI) technology links two or more data
centers together to share resources
Data center interconnect
options
• A DCI requires a high-speed WAN link, including MPLS, Ethernet and
virtual private LAN service (VPLS)
• Metro Ethernet is an option to connect data centers within an urban
setting
• Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
• Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)
• Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)
Datacenter Level
• Uptime Institute defines data center levels as:
• Tier I. These are the most basic types of data centers, including UPS.
Tier I data centers do not provide redundant systems but must
guarantee at least 99.671% uptime.
• Tier II. These data centers include system, power and cooling
redundancy and guarantee at least 99.741% uptime.
• Tier III. These data centers offer partial fault tolerance, 72-hour
outage protection, full redundancy, and a 99.982% uptime guarantee.
• Tier IV. These data centers guarantee 99.995% uptime - or no more
than 26.3 minutes of downtime per year - as well as full fault
tolerance, system redundancy, and 96 hours of outage protection.
