November 2010 Update: Miller IT Data Center Power and Cooling Challenges

The November update addresses significant power and cooling limitations at the Miller IT Data Center, with studies revealing only 114 kW available for additional IT systems from a total of 240 kW. A budget of $308,000 is allocated to tackle these issues, while $850,000 in NSF grants for facility upgrades is pending. Recommendations for short, medium, and long-term improvements include enhancing cooling capacity, implementing short-term physical improvements, and initiating data center virtualization. A search for new long-term data center space is underway.

  1. Data Center Update November 5, 2010

  2. Background • Studies by Staggs and Fisher Consulting Engineers and Emerson Network Power confirm serious power and cooling limitations in the Miller IT Data Center • Of 240kW available on the building transformer, approximately 114kW is available for additional IT systems • Need short, medium, and long-term options • $308,000 provided to address issues • $850,000 NSF facilities upgrade and network grant pending

  3. Consultant recommendations • Short-term MITC Improvements • Address Physical Issues (blanking panels, organize cables, seal perimeter of room) • Organize and relocate racks • Add cold aisle containment • Reset temperature and humidity settings • Add Cooling Capacity • In-row cooling for HPC and email systems

  4. MITC Data Center Plans • Create New Rack Standard • Integrated power monitoring • Top of rack network switching • In-row cooling • Overhead cable access • Implement high density area for new systems • Add HPC Phase II • Consolidate enterprise systems • Consolidate LAN systems

  5. Medium-Term Options • Complete virtualization of eligible servers • Dramatically reduce number of servers • Reduce power consumption • Utilize MedCenter3 data center • MOU still under negotiation • UofL occupying 1500 square feet • Nucleus has agreed to let us start moving in eqmt • Issuing RFP for Co-location Services • Option to lease rack space for a few years

  6. New Data Center • Need to find a long-term option • Looking for up to 5000 square feet of data center space • Evaluating locations such as HSC, ShelbyHurst, UofL Research Park, and others • Meeting with JRA Architects and Staggs and Fisher Engineers • Investigating options for pre-fab data center
