DESIGN AND BUILD DATA CENTERS AND COMPUTER ROOMS QUICKLY
In a world that tolerates zero downtime, system
availability is essential. The only way to ensure optimal
availability is to have a strong NCPI, which is the
foundation of highly available networks.
Today’s business processes are in constant change.
This, in turn, drives new IT requirements. The NCPI that
supports your IT environment must be specified,
designed, and deployed quickly. Unfortunately, it often
takes months to deploy traditional systems.
Traditional NCPI is often expensive to design, install, and
maintain due to one-time engineering costs, high service
requirements, and the underutilization of capacity. A
“pay-as-you-grow” NCPI allows you to scale as required.

Waste due to oversizing
When IT moves, adds or changes become necessary,
they need to happen within days or weeks, not months
or years. As power densities, cabling densities, and
equipment vendors continue to change, the NCPI must
be adaptable enough to respond.
Within the timeframe of just one NCPI refresh, there are typically ten IT refreshes. With each refresh, more demands on the NCPI are made.

LEGACY NCPI REFRESHES
= SYSTEM REFRESH
How many opportunities are missed because the NCPI could not be designed and installed quickly enough to meet your changing business requirements?
Traditional NCPI is built based on the expected future loads. If these loads are not quickly realized, waste occurs.
A highly available network depends on people, process, technology, and NCPI. Each availability layer depends upon the layers below it.

“One of the goals of the new building was to consolidate the networks from the existing threebuildings under one roof. This new facility operates on the Cisco Added Solution Voice Over IParchitecture for video, voice, and integrated data, providing network connectivity throughout thefacility. As IT Director, my imperative was to find a watertight solution that would protect ourcommunications infrastructure by guaranteeing uninterrupted power.”
“With InfraStruXure™, I know that no matter what happens, power flow won't be interrupted.
I don't waste time wondering about how many circuits I need to set aside for the panel, or if I needa circuit breaker in the panel. I know InfraStruXure is running behind the scenes, protecting my
equipment, my company, and allowing us to communicate with our customers.”
Because InfraStruXure™ architecture is easy to customize using standardized components, configurations may vary. Here are five
typical InfraStruXure configurations for different size installations. To configure the right InfraStruXure for you, go to page 20.

"During our four years of operation, we have experienced phenomenal growth. Our systems are critical to thesuccess of our organization. Any downtime risks our reputation."
"Our rapid growth prompted us to bring all outside services in-house, including item and core processing. We built a new operations center. During the design phase of our operations center, we recognized the need to reduce the space required for our systems and we had to pull this off without compromising neatness and cable management."
"InfraStruXure™ costs less than offerings from the competition. It’s an easily managed, fully integrated power andrack solution that affords me the luxury of having to deal with only one vendor. InfraStruXure addressed thepower backup requirements for our centralized servers, and provided us with significant space savings."

"When we moved our server room to our new eighth floor location, we determined that our power protectionwas inadequate and needed to be upgraded. Initially, we had intended to purchase a generator and an exter-nal uninterruptible power supply (UPS) but we were informed that it would take almost a year to obtainone that would meet our requirements."
"We saw the InfraStruXure as a great fit for our environment. The installation went perfectly. The
components were shipped on time, we wheeled them into our server room and it only took several
hours before the system was installed and started up. The smart cable management inherent in thedesign of the InfraStruXure racks helps us to minimize the risk of human error. We no longer have to worryabout someone accidentally disconnecting the wrong cables."
"Since the power distribution is in the rack and not hard wired into the walls, if we choose to change
locations or expand, we can simply pick up and move our InfraStruXure to a new location without
losing any of our initial investment. If and when our data center load expands, we simply add another rackof properly configured power protection."

“InfraStruXure™ fulfilled three core requirements for us. First, the scalability of the architecture provides us sig-
nificant flexibility in terms of power output and in terms of runtime. Second, our Video on Demand (VOD)servers are air cooled from front to back. The APC racks that house the InfraStruXure are also designed to cool
from front to back. So the same racks can effectively house our power system and our servers. Third,InfraStruXure gives us the ability to monitor our power system remotely. It provides us with battery life data,alarms, environmental monitoring data and greatly increases our ability to forecast and prevent potential failures by establishing an effective and efficient battery replacement cycle. We no longer have to deal with a single point of failure.”
“We wanted an upgradeable solution that could scale through changes and still offer us long-term value.InfraStruXure's modular approach makes it easy to upgrade anytime. With InfraStruXure's pay-as-you-growarchitecture, we haven't had to invest in more than we currently need. With InfraStruXure, I don't have to buy
a significant amount of extra equipment and horsepower upfront that I may or may not have to utilize.”

POWER AND DATA CABLE ROUTING
Traditional power and cooling system
Overhead cable trays and under-floor cabling systems limit flexi-bility and adaptability. Because the premise is entered, adherenceto the National Electric Code is required. Under-floor, plenum-rated material is expensive and resource-intensive to install.Under-floor branch circuits can negatively affect air distribution.
