IBM Integrated Server Room

a redefined Server Room environment

From traditional Server Rooms to IBM Integrated Server Room

As organizations grow and add computing power to their IT backbone, there comes a time when the number of servers goes beyond just a couple of them. As new blades are procured, so are new racks to house the servers. With rising investment on hardware, it becomes imperative that organizations think about providing for environments that enable the servers to perform efficiently, while ensuring the longevity of the hardware. A server room can be the right solution to ensure the well-being of high end server hardware. Benefits of a server room facility include: Efficient close coupled cooling to enable server hardware to perform at peak levels. Proper power conditioning and backup for business continuity Protection from dust. Security from unauthorized access Fire and safety provisions Video surveillance

Highlights
Support long-term computing needs while decreasing operating costs Complete data center infrastructure including power, cooling, batteries, fire & security systems, IT racks, networking, and remote monitoring Environmentally protected and secure operational environment Rack optimized design greatly reduces civil work and dependencies with respect to building infrastructure , the solution can be deployed even in an open plan office space. Does not need a raised floor, enables clients to convert any building space into a Server Room Central monitoring system enables monitoring of the complete solution including video surveillance and component health on a single screen. Enables remote monitoring over LAN. Complete suite of IBM services for design, site preparation, installation, training and service Provides flexibility to host the solution anywhere in a building (except basement and terrace) Easy to dismantle and relocate the entire facility to a new location

Pre-packaged Server Room - a completely new way of deploying a small datacenter in a fraction of the time as compared to traditional methodologies
For organizations that are building small server rooms, the traditional Data Center design and build methodology can be a time-consuming and difficult process when the need is for a server room comprising of less than 10 server racks. Customers may spend unnecessarily on features such as Raised flooring, ramps, room fit-out among several other things. Attempts to cut costs may further complicate matters by allowing energy inefficiencies to creep in. IBM IT Facilities Assessment, Design and Construction Services IBM Integrated Server Room is a high-quality solution, specifically designed for hosting 2 to 8 IT racks. It is a pre-designed and pre-fabricated solution that has features commonly found in high-end Data Centers, and is ready to be shipped to, assembled & integrated at customer premises. This is achieved through the use of standardized server room design elements and no dependence on raised floor. IBM helps you determine your server room requirements, works with you to configure the data centre from the available ISR designs, and provides complete installation and testing services. IBM is the single point of contact and manages the project from beginning to end, providing a robust turn-key server room. This helps clients remain focused on their core business and reduces the need to reassign critical staff members to a project for which they may have limited experience.

IBM Integrated Server Room uses 50% less floor space and can be deployed in th of time as compared to traditional server room design & build methods. This approach mitigates risk associated with extensive engineering required for custom installations.

Why IBM?
IBM is a leading global provider of data centre design, construction, relocation and optimization services. IBM has built more than 30 million square feet of data centers for clients worldwide. We currently manage more than 100 IBM data centers totaling 6 million square feet. Our structured methodology, intellectual capital and global reach position us to deliver comprehensive data centre solutions to a variety of customers. Leveraging our well-established relationships with industryleading vendors (including strategic relationships with major power and cooling equipment vendors), IBM can tailor a data center solution to address your IT infrastructure needs, whether youre looking for a two, five or ten year strategy or beyond. And unlike most data centre solution providers, IBM manufactures a full suite of storage and server products, giving us a strong understanding of the infrastructure support needs of your IT equipment. IBM professionals possess a clear understanding of existing data centre technologies and trends. Relying on IBM for your data centre needs helps enable you to focus your valuable resources on your core business, rather than on your IT environment. Note: the final scope of services will be tailored to your particular IT infrastructure requirements and agreed via a statement of work.

Providing the capabilities needed to help ensure efficient operations

IBM Integrated Server Room includes conditioned and distributed power, equipment cooling, equipment rack systems, and security and monitoring capabilities for your IT equipment needs to promote efficient and reliable server operations. Few features which help in achieving operationally secure environment are : Complete solution is integrated inside IT racks providing protection against fire, humidity & temperature changes in the surrounding environment Early warning fire alarm HSSD system helps take user corrective action ; Novec based automated suppression system protects the equipment in the racks The racks provide natural Fire resistant properties Water leak detection system Secure with access control and CCTV surveillance

Energy Efficiency and Best practices

IBM ISR has been designed keeping in mind the industry best practices for Energy Efficiency. The design also follows the guidelines & incorporates various best practices from: IBM Datacenter reliability level (2+) ASHRAE standard T9.9 NFPA 75

Few features which supports energy efficient design are : Super digital inverter technology air conditioning system saves energy Implements Hot aisle / Cold aisle arrangement The solution is sealed inside IT Racks, thus insulating the space inside from environmental changes in the surroundings.

Access to the racks is protected by means of key lock or optional smart card controls as per the choice of the customer. A video surveillance package is also present to monitor the server racks remotely. The system is motion activated, thus saving disk space for video storage. A critical need of any server facility is that of monitoring and alerting so that quick action can be taken against anomalous operational parameters. The ISR package includes a central monitoring system that can monitor operational parameters of the data center and provide alerts and reports via the LAN and automated emails.
