Description
- This application relates to improvements to data centers, including protection from: (1) vandalism, (2) high winds, (3) earthquake, (4) storms, (5) water or gas used for cooling or fire suppression, and (6) explosions emanating from inside or outside of the building.
- A data center is a facility designed to house computer equipment (servers, routers, etc.) The computer equipment is used to store data, receive data from other computers and send data to other computers located inside and outside of the facility. The data is transmitted through copper and fiber optic transmission lines. In order for the data center to have a high level of reliability, all aspects of the design of the data center are important.
- The physical security includes protection for: (1) electrical, mechanical, and computer equipment, (2) the power distribution system, (3) the copper and fiber optic distribution system, and (4) pipes and ducts for the mechanical system.
- The security system should provide protection from: (1) vandalism, (2) high winds, (3) earthquake, (4) storms, (5) water used for cooling or fire suppression, and (6) explosions emanating from inside or outside of the building.
- The reliability of the design is enhanced by redundancy so that if there is an equipment failure, another piece of equipment will function without delay to replace it. The reliability of the data center is also improved by the compartmentalization of the design so that if there is an equipment failure, the impact of the failure is limited in scope. Reliability is also improved by having a design which makes a fast recovery possible, such as a design which makes the quick and easy replacement of the equipment (or a part within the equipment) possible.
- The reliability of the design is also enhanced by having a design which attempts to eliminate a shut down because of a single point of failure. However, if there is a single point of failure, it is important that the component causing the failure is (1) very unlikely to fail, (2) the component can be replaced quickly if it does fail, and (3) the impact of such a failure is limited.
- The design of the present invention incorporates the aspects described above (physical security, redundancy, compartmentalization, fast recovery, and the elimination of the “single point of failure”) in an effort to achieve the highest level of reliability.
- The following discussion of the mechanical system, the power distribution system, and the fiber optic distribution system are preferably in a building where the roof and outer walls are protected to withstand the impact of high winds or a blast from an explosive. However, there are aspects to the design which would be advantageous to buildings without such protection. For example, the mechanical system requires less floor space.
- In the description of the design that follows it is assumed that there are one or more corridors with rooms on both sides of the corridor. (The design also applies if there are rooms on only one side of the corridor or if computer racks are located in a single large room.)
- Racks which hold computer servers are placed in the plurality of rooms. It is necessary to supply these rooms with the following:
- (1) Cooling to offset the heat generated by the servers and other electronic equipment.
- (2) Electrical power to the electronic equipment.
- (3) Fiber optic and copper lines to the equipment for the transmission of data.
- (4) Humidity control to the room to control static electricity.
- (5) Fire suppression system which may include INNERGIN™ breathable gas fire suppression system.
- These and other objects of the invention, as well as many of the intended advantages thereof, will become more readily apparent when reference is made to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
- FIGS. 1A and 1B show the design of a corridor space for mechanical equipment, distribution of chilled water to mechanical equipment, location of electric cable which supplies power to the power distribution units (PDUs) which are connected to servers, and fiber optic lines which are connected to the servers located in the rooms.
- FIG. 1C is an alternate design of a distribution system, similar to FIG. 1A.
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of air handling units (AHU) in the corridor and the ducts which supply the rooms on each side of the corridor.
- FIGS. 3A and FIG. 3B show a plan view and vertical section of an AHU.
- FIGS. 4A and 4B show a vertical section and a plan view, respectively, of a six foot wide and eight foot high (or higher) central corridor and lateral room enclosures.
- FIG. 5 shows a plan view of AHUs assigned to four different room configurations.
- FIG. 6 is a plan view of a piping diagram with a third pipe provided for maintenance or replacement of either one of the other two pipes.
- In describing a preferred embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology will be resorted to for the sake of clarity. However, the invention is not intended to be limited to the specific terms so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific term includes all technical equivalents which operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose.
- A space12 (FIG. 1A) is located above the
corridor 1 between the foil coiling unit (FCU) or Air Handling Unit (AHU) 8A having acoil 80, afan 82 and filter 84 (as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B). Between thewalls grid system 11 of the corridor sufficient to provide the required return air to the AHU inspace 12. - A plurality of individual FCUs could be replaced by a large FCU located at ground floor level which would blow cool air into a
ducted system 73 going down the space where AHU 8A is located betweenwalls ceiling roof 12 and tile andgrid system 11. - Below the raised
floor 13 of thecorridor 1 there is aspace 15, FIG. 1A, through which pipes can be located and connected to the risers in the walls or to a pipe connected to an AHU located on a raised floor or concrete deck (see FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B). Also, connecting pipes extend from the chilledwater supply pipe 16 and chilledwater return pipe 18, FIGS. 1A and 1B. - In the alternative the fiber
optic trays fire suppression system mezzanine deck 12 on both sides of thecorridor 1 as shown in FIG. 1A and 1C. In FIG. 1B pipes cross thecorridor 1 and are connected to risers which are located incorridor walls - FIG. 1B shows the
staggered connections 19 from the chilled water return (CWR)pipe 16 to theriser 3A and from the chilledwater supply pipe 18 to theriser 3A. FIG. 1B also showsfiber optic line 21 from the conduit extending to theconduit box 23A passing through the conduit to theriser 24 and intoadjacent room 5. This fiber optic line extends intoadjacent room 5 from the risers in the wall. Thefiber optic line 23C, FIG. 1B, is for theroom 4 across the corridor fromroom 5.Cylinder 51B, FIG. 1B, is for fire suppression forroom 4. - FIG. 1A shows a
roof structure 12 which spans the corridor and therooms corridor 1. The space above theroof structure 12 and below buildingroof 90 is referred to as the mezzanine deck and above the mezzanine deck is themain roof 90 of the building. There is limited access to the mezzanine deck. Motion detectors and closed circuit television monitors provide continuous surveillance. The mezzanine deck also serves as a secondary roof to protect against roof leakage from theprimary roof 90.Roof structure slope 12 is a 1) blast protection, 2) secondary rain protection and 3) covering for fiber and electrical distribution cylinders. - The
corridor walls roof structure 12,conduits 6 carry the power cable from the uninterrupted power supply (UPS) units to the power distribution units (PDU) and then to each room,e.g. rooms - The
AHU 8A, FIG. 1A, is located below theconduit 6. TheAHU 8A abutscorridor wall 3A, and supplies cool air to theroom 5 through thesupply air grill 9. The returnair transfer grill 10 permits air to return fromroom 5 to theAHU 8A. The ceiling tile andgrid system 11 along with thewalls corridor 1, the space below the AHU and the space between the fan coil units (FCU) create a return air space which is required for the cooling unit. - The cooling capacity of the AHU is determined by the size of the motor and fan, the cooling capacity of the coils, and the volume of air that can be returned to the AHU. The volume of air that can be returned to the FCU is determined as shown in FIG. 3A by calculating the volume of air available in the space between the bottom of the structure and the top of ceiling tile and
grid system 11 and the width of the space, from center to center, between the air handling units. - The
condensate drain 55 is located at the bottom of the corridor. The condensate drain drains any water that gets into the corridor. There is asmall space 56 between the corridor walls and the raised floor to allow for any water that gets into the corridor to drain. - FIGS. 4A, 4B show a vertical section and a plan view section, respectively, of a
corridor 6 feet wide and approximately 8 feet or more high from theceiling grid 11 to thefloor 17. A fourton FCU 8A is located between thepower conduits 6 and the ceiling tile andgrid system 11. There are sixracks 16 inroom 4 in FIGS. 2, 4A, 4B and 5. Typically, each rack, in this example, requires 20 amps at 120 volts (120V×20A=2400 watts =2.4 KVA) (1 ton =12,000 BTU) (heat of 1 KVA =3416 BTU) (2.4 KVA requires 8116 BTU). One ton of cooling will therefore cool 1 ½ racks. - Therefore, the six racks at 20 amps per rack in
room 4 each require four tons of cooling. The FCU in FIG. 1A is a four ton unit. This unit is 48 ½ inches on the side and 24 inches across the front (the supply register side). - Two of these units are shown in FIG. 5, designated for
room 4 and two of these units are shown designated forroom 5.Rooms - The components in an AHU are a
motor 86 connected to afan 82 and a coolingcoil 80. These components have a low failure rate and can be quickly replaced if the unit has valves for the quick removal of the cooling coil and replacement parts for the motor. Extra fans and cooling coils are kept on hand. In addition, monitoring of the temperature in the room and monitoring of the other parts should alert personnel to projected failure to minimize the impact of such a failure. - FIG. 5 shows a top view of the AHUs assigned to
rooms - The rooms can be subdivided by a
wall 71 into two rooms, e.g., see FIG. 5,rooms rooms wall 72, sixteen racks are placed in the space (an increase of four racks). - As shown in FIG. 5,
room 5 has six racks. Two KVAs can be supplied to each rack with one four ton AHU. With two, four ton units to each room, 10 feet×16 feet four KVAs can be supplied to each rack or the second two ton unit can be used to supply A.C. “back up” for the room. - The building is surrounded by
bollards 50 at a standoff distance of a minimum of 90 feet from the building. Examples ofbollards 50 are shown on one side of the building only in FIG. 5. It is understood that thebollards 50 would surround the building. - The bollards are built to the highest Department of Defense (DOD) standard. At that standoff distance, the buildings will withstand a blast from 1000 pounds of TNT on a 5000 pound truck moving at 50 miles per hour. The brick exterior of the building is backed up by 12 inch reinforced concrete masonry unit (CMU) with grout in the CMU cavities. The interior walls of the rooms are built of 8 inch and 12 inch CMUs which are reinforced with steel bars and the CMU cavities are filled with grout. The
mezzanine deck 12 is built of steel and concrete so that the interior of the building is protected against blast. - The building is built in a highly secure manner. This physical security provides security to the AHU, the power distribution units, the uninterruptible power supply, the batteries, the switch gear, the computers, routers and other electronic equipment, the power distribution system, the fiber distribution system, the copper distribution system (for data), the chilled water supply and return pipes, the fire suppression system and all the other equipment protected by the walls and roof of the building.
- The system disclosed herein is appropriate for a building designed and built to the concept disclosed for a building converted to a data center. For instance, a building with an
interior space 22 feet in height can have an additional mezzanine floor added to accommodate the tanks for a fire suppression system and the electrical and fiber distribution system described herein. - In an existing building, preferably, existing or new construction would have a roof sloping at a 2% grade to help carry off rainwater. The mezzanine deck may be built parallel to the existing roof (i.e., the same slope) approximately 5 feet below the existing roof and can be built of steel and concrete (a composite deck). Twelve inch steel reinforced concrete masonry units can be added to the inside of the building perimeter and shear walls can also be built of twelve inch CMU. The bollards, the secondary roof, the exterior walls and the shear walls will protect the building against the blast described above.
- The rooms for the servers may also be built of reinforced CMU. This will give the equipment in these rooms further protection against a satchel charge in the interior or near the exterior of the building. The concrete slab of the existing building can be cut and a trench built so that the chilled water pipes and fiber optic could be installed.
- The cylinders for the gas fire suppression may be placed on the secondary roof directly above the rooms that will receive the gas in the event of a fire or in the trench below the raised floor as shown in FIG. 1A and 1B. In either case, the gas will be confined to the room for which it is designated which gives additional protection against putting too much gas into the room.
- The chilled water supply pipes are designed so that valves may be closed which prevent water from flowing through them. The water can be drained from them and then a leak can be repaired. When these valves are closed, other valves can be opened which are connected to a “back up” supply line as shown in FIG. 6 so that the air handling unit still receives chilled water. A similar piping system would be used for the return chilled water system. The same back-up pipe can be used for both the return and supply chilled water system if similar valves are closed and opened.
- FIG. 6 which shows 14 inch chilled
water supply 100 and return 102 from thepump room 104. 4 inch chilledwater supply 106 and return 108 lines are then connected to the 14 inch chilled water lines to serverooms inch pipe 110 is placed in each corridor to take the place of any section which is closed off by valves so that section can be repaired. See valves V in FIG. 6. - The preferred configuration of this data center design will provide that (1) the electrical distribution to the racks and PDU rooms will be located between the
AHU 8A and themezzanine deck 12 and above themezzanine deck 12, in a secured steel tray attached to the deck with a space for the flow of water if there is a leak in the primary roof. (2) The fire suppression system will be provided by INNERGIN™ gas located in cylinders located above the mezzanine deck and above the space being protected. (3) The chilled water supply and return pipes will be located in the corridors below the raised floor in atrench 5 with a drain beneath these pipes and a water tight separation to the adjacent rooms. (4) Racks located in a small room will receive conditioned air from an AHU in the corridor. (5) Rack in large rooms with a heavy A.C. load will have the AHU on a raised floor with the supply air moving under the raised floor to the racks. (6) The bollards, the walls of the building and the shear walls and the mezzanine deck and the primary roof structure will provide protection against blast to the highest Department of Defense standards. - The chilled water pipes, fiber and electrical conduit can be located in a trench in the corridor and the top of the raised
floor 13 can be level with theconcrete slab 60 adjacent to the corridor (see FIG. 1A). In the alternative, FIG. 1C, thespace 15, can be located between thewalls floor 13 and theslab 60. In that case, the raisedfloor 13, would be located on each side of the corridor walls. In that case, the rooms on each side of the corridor would have raised floors and thesupply ducts 73 shown in FIG. 2 would have a vertical section so that the supply air would be extended down in the corner of the room so that the supply air would pressurize the space below the raised floor, and the cold air could then be supplied below theracks 7 in FIG. 2. - There is sufficient space above the mezzanine that the fiber optic lines can be laid out so that they do not cross the power distribution lines. The power lines which are intended to be dropped through the mezzanine deck to the cage below would be located at the front of the cage and the fiber lines would be located at the rear of the cages.
- Some other advantages of the design are:
- 1. The electric power and the fiber are kept more than the required distance apart.
- 2. The fiber and low voltage copper data lines are located in a secure space below the raised floor, or above the mezzanine deck. In either case, it can be secured in a steel tray with a locking device and a monitoring device for surveillance.
- 3. The fan coil units do not require room floor space. This raises the efficiency of the use of the floor area of the building.
- 4. In addition to providing security against blast, the secondary roof provides redundancy with respect to protection from roof leaks and an excellent place to run additional fiber and power.
- 5. A normal duct system in the corridors which are then connected to the rooms can be tapped so that conversations in the rooms could be heard by those not intended to be privy to such conversations. The chilled water system described herein is not subject to such intrusion.
- 6. This design is intended to meet federal security (SCIF) requirements.
- The foregoing description should be considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and, accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
