Mission
As a follow on to the UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Strategic Plan approved in December 2006, the President’s Council appointed a new committee, the Collocation Facilities Implementation Committee, which was tasked with developing a plan to implement the recommendations set forth in the strategic plan.

Governance
Recommendation
To make effective and efficient use of personnel resources available, the CFIC recommends the Information Technology Council (ITC) be charged with the governance of collocation facilities upon organization approval of the plan. This role falls within the scope of the ITC.
![Page 11: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Governance – Next Steps
ITC assumes the governance role upon approval of the implementation plan.
ITC in conjunction with the management group will approve a charter for an advisory committee and will solicit recommendations for membership from directors of current and future collocation facility occupants.

Management
Recommendation:
To make effective and efficient use of personnel resources available, the CFIC recommends that CISL be charged with the management of collocation facilities.
It is recommended an advisory committee consisting of collocation facilities stakeholders be created to partner with the management group.
![Page 13: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Management – Next Steps
Conduct a survey of existing collocation facilities (CG2-2042, FL2-3095, FL0-0110).
Understand the business and technical requirements for individual stakeholders.
Develop Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for collocation facilities.
Develop effective two-way communication channels to inform stakeholders.
•Conduct a survey of existing collocation facilities.
![Page 14: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Management – Next Steps
Under the auspices of the governance group, create an advisory committee to the management group consisting of facilities stakeholders.
Develop policies, procedures, and standards for collocation facilities in collaboration with the Advisory Committee and submit for review and approval to the governance group.
![Page 15: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Management – Next Steps
Provide effective change control procedures. Provide secure facilities. Establish maintenance procedures and
schedules. Develop appropriate record keeping and
tracking systems. Provide effective change control procedures. Participate in the development or augmentation
of collocation facilities.
![Page 16: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Organizational Processes
Recommendation:
It is recommended a short-term working group be developed to review existing processes within the organization which can facilitate the collection of data on the acquisition of computational resources in the proposal, purchase, and surplus stages and augment these processes as needed.
![Page 17: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Organization Processes – Next Steps
With guidance from the governance group convene a short-term working group
Determine the exact procurement processes which require modification, document the proposed modifications, and obtain approval of the process changes.
Determine procurement thresholds for equipment entering collocation facilities.
Identify timelines for collocation procurement processes.
![Page 18: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Site Studies
Recommendation:
Use the existing CISL Mesa Laboratory computing space once the data center is relocated. This facility is approximately 13,000 sq. ft. and has significant infrastructure in place, which would keep costs down.
![Page 19: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Site Studies – Next Steps
At the appropriate time it will be necessary to assemble a design and construction team who will provide estimating assistance and cost effective solutions for design and budget issues.
An internal commissioning team will also be formed to assist in the design and construction process by critiquing the specifications, plans, and control sequences for errors and omissions, to ensure the design and operational criteria are met.

Cost Allocation Methodology
Recommendation:
The CFIC recommends that the organization allocate costs for current and planned collocation facilities through the Facilities Indirect Cost Pool and discontinue direct allocation of costs to the entities which use all centralized computing facilities.
![Page 21: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cost Allocation – Next Steps
Modify the FY09 indirect rate submission to reflect the recommendation to charge costs for collocated rooms to the Occupancy cost pool. (Finance & Administration, Complete)
Implement revised charging mechanisms to charge all collocation expenses to the Occupancy cost pool beginning in fiscal year 2009. (Finance & Administration: Finance, PPS)
![Page 22: UCAR Computer Collocation Facilities Implementation Plan](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062315/568151b6550346895dbfe437/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cost Allocation – Next Steps
Assume responsibility for oversight of the operational budget components associated with the management of existing collocation facilities beginning in fiscal year 2009. (Management Group)
Develop capital budgets for ML-29 (and any other collocation facility) improvements beginning in FY10. (Management Group, Director PPS, and Space Planning)
