Data Centre Investments Must Be Implemented Before Mandatory Reasons Arise.
What are data centre needs? Is there any awareness for them? How do you see the future of these requirements?
It is better to distinguish this issue into private sector and public sector. In foreign countries, while establishing data centres, they prefer the suitable locations where cooling demand is less, energy cost is low. Although server components may be more expensive sometimes, they choose low-electricty consuming components with respect to Green IT concept. They design fire protection systems rather than fire fighting systems. In our country, private sector is much closer to that approach. On the other hand, public sector considers data centres as a simple civil work such as electrical fuse, elevated floor, decreased ceiling and cable pulling. Unfortunately public sector disregard energy and cooling efficiency, traceability, ability to grow due to low purchase cost concerns. It is inevitable that we will have to comply with Data Centre Standards followed by the countries which release the technologies.
What kind of reasons that oblige the companies for data centre investment?
Public sector invest on data centres when they do not have any further place in the existing data centres or existing data centre starts to cause serious cooling, electricity or data infrastructure problems. In brief, they invest after they have to.
How should a company determine its data centre need, required applications and services to be supplied?
It is very beneficial to follow worldwide accepted standartd and rules and to obtain services required by these standards. Most important standard is the Tiers dictated by Uptime Institute. Tier-3 is a very good level providing high continuity for many companies in our country.
What is this trend in global basis?
The countries producing and managing the technology comply with certain standards and tend to move towards high efficiency and Green IT.
How should most suitable corporate solutions meeting the demand be identified?
Data centre needs should be identified in accordance with due diligence analysis and potential growth trends by providing consultancy services from expert consultant companies in data centre field complying with certain standards.
What kind of risks is taken by the corporates not having a data centre support regardless with corporate scale?
The biggest risk is interruption problems caused by data centre. Misdesigned data centres lead to floods, fires due to electrical infrastructure. Besides that, energy efficiency, data failure passing through the cables should be taken into consideration.
What are the latest popular trends in data centres and their internal structures?
As we mentioned before, complying with “Tier” structures is most popular trend. Again, cooling efficieny, cooling grouping by separating data centres into subsections and traceable electricity structures are other popular tendencies in recent years. Nitrogen-based fire protection and extinguishing systems seem to be most popular systems in the near future.
