Key objectives

Energy efficiency is a global issue with significant impact today and will havean even greater impact in the future

Data center design must change technology and business growth uncertaintyand rising costs drive the need for a new approach

A quick-to-deploy, cost-effective, energy-efficient alternative solution to raised-floor data center space.

Data centers are at a tipping point, driven by energy costsand usage

Increased Compute DemandServer growth 6x, Storage growth 69x this decade 1

By 2011, blades will represent 26% of all servershipments2

Changing cost dynamics

Data centers energy use doubling every 5 years3

New data center construction costs are increasing -$30 to $50M for a 20K square foot data center

Operating costs = 3x capital costs over 20 years

Data center lifecycle mismatch

78% of data centers are > 7 years old4

Technology densities are growing 20x this decade5

33% of managers expect data centers to last 30years6

Meet Business & IT Growth

Reduce capital andoperating costs for data

centers

Reduce risk by providingmore available andpredictable data centeroperations

Solution Overview

A scalable modular data center is a turnkey solution. It includes

power and cooling systems for critical IT equipment, racks for

housing equipment, cabling, components that monitor

operations and more.

A space-saving, energy-efficient scalable modular data center solutioncan be configured in a single-row, rack-based architecture.



Solution Overview, Cont.

Multiple rows of racks can be configured to meet unique spacerequirements.

A scalable modular data center can be implemented in nearly any

configuration in nearly any work environment.



Solution Overview, Cont.

The IBM and APC solution delivered significant capital and operational

cost savings, providing a compact yet highly scalable infrastructure. We

estimate that the solution is 30 percent more efficient in power and

cooling terms alone, both reducing expenditure and underlining theUniversitys commitment to environmental sustainability.

CIOs are not accountable for the energy costs

to run a data center

A recent survey showed 77% of ITdepartments are not responsible forthe data center energy bills1

CIOs do not have the facts to make informeddecisions on how to better manage data centerenergy usage

Less than 20% of businesses haveconducted an energy audit.2

CIOs are surprised with the short payback to

go green

EPA estimates 25-55% annual energysavings are possible3

The In-row cooling method used with SMDC is efficientand effective

In Row Cooling (Close Coupled

Cooling) Deliver cooling directly to the loads

targeted cooling

Shorten air path which requires less fan

power increasing efficiency

Reduces humidification requirements

reducing water and electricity waste

All rated capacity of CRAC can be utilized

Higher rack densities can be achieved (up to

50KW)

N+1 or 2N cooling can be targeted to rows

vs. rooms for targeted availability

Match cooling capacity to load through

intelligent cooling

Contain hot air within a single or multiple

racks to prevent mixing with conditioned air

Chiller Units

Can work with existing customer chiller plant

or design/procure/install new chiller plant
