Key Words

Availability & Reliability


• Uptime of the site delivered by the purpose built environment
• Ability to overcome any unplanned shut down/incident that is potentially caused
downtime(no power supply) to site or IT equipment
• Operation Sustainability and Preventive/Predictive/Comprehensive Maintenance helps on
increasing site availability and reliability.

Scalability
• Site readiness to scale or expand with business direction and requirement without
compromising the energy usage efficiency

Key Words

Resiliency
• Data center resiliency is often achieved through the use of redundant components,
subsystems, systems or facilities.
• When one element fails or experiences a disruption, the redundant element takes over
seamlessly and continues to support computing services to the user base.
• Ideally, users of a resilient system never know that a disruption has even occurred.

Key Words

Efficiency & Effectiveness


• Energy usage efficiency and effectiveness to save on OPEX (Operation Expenses)
• Equipment operating set point and operational practices impact on OPEX
Total Facility Power :
Total Facility Power Total power supply by Utility Provider to support
Power Utility Efficiency = Electrical and Mechanical Load

(PUE) Total IT Equipment Consumption

Higher PUE; Lower Efficiency • Ideal PUE value is 1 – means all power supply is
Lower PUE; Higher Efficiency consume by IT equipment
• Impossible to achieve PUE 1 due to electricity
Achievable PUE : 1.6 to 1.8 consumption by lighting, mechanical load, losses in
(also dependence to efficiency of equipment)
UPS and other auxiliary equipment in addition to
the consuming IT load

Difference between a lithium-ion battery and a lead-acid is the in the system
chemical makeup of the materials used in the electrodes and
electrolyte.
Most current lithium-ion batteries use a metal oxide for the cathode
and a carbon-based material for the anode. The electrolyte solution
is a lithium salt dissolved in an organic solvent.
A lead-acid battery, on the other hand, uses a lead dioxide for the
cathode, a lead anode, and a form of sulfuric acid as the electrolyte.
