Traditional sprinklers in a data center? 😱😱😱

A fire sprinkler system is a system of sprinklers that release water to control and extinguish fires. This system is activated by heat or smoke (or both). For many types of fires, water is an effective or the most effective fire suppression agent.

Although fire sprinklers are the most commonly utilized form of fire protection, there are some instances where fire sprinklers will not be effective in putting out a fire or where they will cause irreparable damage to property.

For example, in a data center, water would damage servers and equipment. In this case, a fire suppression system is installed.

Fire Suppression Systems

Fire suppression systems are similar to fire sprinkler systems except they do not use water to put out a fire. Instead, fire suppression systems often use chemical, gaseous, or foam agents to extinguish a fire.

Benefits of Fire Suppression

Fire suppression systems are used in environments where valuable equipment and unique assets (critical facilities, museums, art galleries, archives, etc.) are present. These systems respond rapidly and will extinguish a fire while causing minimal damage to valuable assets.
Clean agent fire suppression systems use environmentally friendly chemical reagents to extinguish fires in sensitive spaces like data centers. The clean-up is minimal, water-free, and safe for the environment.

Clean Agent Suppression Benefits

Additional benefits that clean agent suppression systems have over traditional water sprinklers include:

a) Fast-acting suppression
Clean agent suppression systems are dispersed and reach required concentration levels within as little as 10 seconds, snuffing out a fire before it results in catastrophic damage. They are designed specifically to extinguish fires, unlike traditional sprinklers which are designed to contain the fire until fire safety personnel can arrive.

b) Minimal cleanup and residue
Ruined electronics, soggy carpet and damaged furniture are all common staples of a triggered sprinkler system. Today’s chemical and gaseous fire suppression solutions result in little to no cleanup, allowing operations to quickly return to normal.

c) People-safe
Clean agents are safe for people and are approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency for us in normally occupied spaces.

d) Customisable to your needs
Whether your organization requires the “greenest,” the most cost-effective or the most globally accepted fire suppression solutions available, clean agent suppression systems can be highly customized to meet these needs.

Traditional sprinkler systems try to keep the building from being a total loss or to keep it from spreading. Clean agent fire suppression systems try to catch those fires a lot sooner so that less damage can be done.

This is why today’s special hazard fire suppression systems typically consist of a detection and control package that picks up a fire in the very earliest stages. That fire could be the size of a candle flame or the first by-product of combustion from insulation starting to melt on a conductor.

Therefore, it is important to obtain a fire-suppressing solution which is designed to extinguish fire hazards as quickly as possible, minimizing fire damage, smoke damage and even water damage to confidently protect your critical assets, and most importantly, the people within your organization.

Common myths about modular data centers

As the data center industry places importance on maintaining resiliency and uptime, a rather conservative and conventional thinking often take precedence. CIOs and IT professionals usually adopt a better safe than sorry attitude which gives rise to a fair share of myths and misconceptions on new and emerging technologies.

Take modular data centers for example. The technology has been around for more than a decade and has gone through massive technological advancements. Yet many think that modular data centers are “less than” the traditional on-site data center construction which is slow, costly and rigid.

The truth is the modular data center solution, which involves assembling units of data center infrastructure in factories and then shipping them to the site, are well-suited to expand to any enterprise infrastructure. It also continues to evolve, with more and more suppliers developing new technology and services.

Here, let’s debunk the top 4 common myths surrounding modular data centers.

Myth 1 : Modular data centers are only containers and are temporary.

The first wave of modular data centers were delivered as ISO containers. These early modules were self-contained data centers housed in shipping containers, and came equipped with all the components needed for deployment in constructions sites and oil rigs.

This form-factor has continued to be closely associated with the term modular data centers. Today, modular data centers come in all shapes and sizes, and suitable for any environment and scale of business. The bottom line is that modular data center solutions are designed to be fully functional when they arrive, and optimized to provide ongoing, reliable service.

Myth 2: Modular data centers are not scalable.

In addition to the perception that modular data centers are containers, people get thrown off by the term ‘modular’. They often envision small, enclosed spaces that are limited by their dimensions.

In reality, modular data center solutions can be used to create larger contiguous spaces that have a similar look and feel as traditional data centers. With modular data centers, the self-contained units are already optimized for capacity and performance. Additional modules can be added as needed to increase capacity, so scaling the data center is relatively simple with all resources being used at optimal efficiency. Thus, modular data centers provide significant design flexibility, allowing enterprises to create structures that meet their exact requirements.

Myth 3: Modular data centers are less resilient and less secure.

Modular data centers are just as secure as conventional data center solutions. Their physical security is the same, especially if they are installed in a protected area with conventional barriers, such as security guards and fences.

Since modular data center solutions are factory-built, it means they receive rigorous testing and quality assurance making them more resilient. The main certification organisation for the data center industry, Uptime Institute, has developed its Tier-Ready programme to streamline the certification of facilities built in part, or in total, using prefabricated modular components.

Myth 4: Modular data centers result is more expensive than conventional builds.

One of the most powerful benefits of a modular data center solution is that deployment is very much faster. For any business, saving time is saving money and that by itself is of immense value.

Modular data centers are actually less expensive to build since construction in a clean-room factory component is more efficient and requires fewer personnel. Installation costs are also very much lower since they arrive ready to operate.

Using factory-specified integrated systems, modular data center solutions are more efficient and reduces energy consumption.

Modular data centers can do anything that brick-and-mortar data centers constructed on site can do. In fact, more operators are using modular data centers for edge computing, core computing, colocation, and telecoms. This is because modular data centers offer all the capacity needed, are less expensive, easier and quicker to deploy, and provide scalability and reliability.

Modular Data Center vs Traditional Data Center

Modular data centers have been around for years. Companies that have adopted modular data centers include Microsoft, Airbus, AOL, British Petroleum and Lexis Nexis.

The beauty of the modular data center approach is that it overcomes the two biggest problems with traditional data centers i.e. speed of deployment and capital. Here we explore these and other factors which gives modular data center an edge over the traditional appraoch.

Deployment

Modular solutions have incredibly quick timeframes from order to deployment. Having a module manufactured means that the site construction can progress simultaneously.

Consistent quality

Modular data centers are consistent in terms of quality as they are produced in a factory.

Scalability

Although many large data centers may have space to scale, there is a large cost and time delay do so. A modular data unit on the other hand can be delivered intact and ready for use.

Space and resource allocation

Traditional data center construction requires that you pay for the costs of heating, cooling, humidity control and power requirements for a section of the data center often much larger than you need. Modular data centers give you the ability to allocate resources for only the space you are currently using.

Easier to keep up with technology

Traditional data centers require planning years ahead of current needs in order to save on capital costs. A modular system focuses on a much smaller time frame which means that your technology will be more up to date.

Energy saving

The closed system of a modular data center can easily utilize water-side free cooling techniques, heat sink technologies and power efficiency technologies to provide the smallest possible environmental footprint.

Cost efficiencies

Modular power solutions give businesses the flexibility to upscale power capacity at a more gradual rate. This helps to minimize financial risk.

As energy costs and consumption continues to rise, businesses do indeed have a better option in dealing with an increase in secure data management while controlling environmental, capital and labour costs.

Are data centers critical infrastructure? Y-E-S!

Are data centers critical infrastructure? Y-E-S!

When some people think of essential critical infrastructure, health systems, energy and finance might immediately come to mind. However, all these sectors, including transportation and national security, all rely on up-to-the-second data stored in and accessed through data centers. Data centers link, connect and run systems essential to the functioning of global logistics, government services and major organisations.

The digital world arose out of the power of physical equipment

Many consider digital as a virtual entity, devoid of material. In reality, a major part of the Internet’s core operating infrastructure includes sophisticated physical equipment installed inside globally-connected data centers that must be properly manned and maintained.

Legal recognition of data centers as critical infrastructure

Governments around the world have begun to recognize data centers as a critical infrastructure. For example, the Federal Government of Australia specifically called out data centers as critical infrastructure during the launch of their new cyber security strategy. Legislation is expected to follow that will apply appropriate recognition, certification and standards to this infrastructure to ensure it is kept secure.

This kind of legislation can help ensure that, in the event of a crisis – whether it be a pandemic or a natural disaster – data centers can retain access to power, people and other resources to keep going and keep businesses and governments operational.

Why is the recognition important?

By drawing attention to data centers as critical infrastructures, the hope is that infrastructure operators, regulatory bodies, asset owners and other interested parties will invest in resilient data centers.

The complex, high-security operations of data centers depend upon the skills of multitudes of technical specialists and solution providers managing climate-controlled physical facilities that house the servers and other equipment that keep websites, data and applications running.

This means choosing and hiring the right people to shoulder responsibilities such as providing and overseeing electrical and cooling systems, monitor capacity and workloads, add new equipment when needed, and repair or replace malfunctioning hardware as quickly as possible–all to protect network reliability and security.

A final take

Data centers support the entire global digital economy in myriad ways and facilitates the operation of online economic lifelines. Therefore when it comes to building and maintaining a data center, it is more than just a matter of cost. It is the continuity and resilience measures that can be taken to ensure that the data center survives major failures.

NOVA & NEM GoMEn – NEM 3.0 gives businesses and government bodies a reason to invest in solar energy

In an effort to boost the usage of solar energy, Malaysia’s Energy and Natural Resources Ministry has introduced the new Net Energy Metering 3.0 program (NEM 3.0) to provide more opportunities for electricity consumers to install solar PV systems on the roofs of their premises to save on their electricity bill. The NEM 3.0 will be in effect from 2021 to 2023 and the total quota allocation is up to 500 MW.

Concept for Net Offset Virtual Aggregation (NOVA) Program

Quota: 300MW
Tariff Category: Commercial, Industrial, Mining and Agriculture
Implementation Period: 1st April 2021 – 31st December 2023

Targeting businesses, the NOVA programme works by allowing the energy produced from the solar PV installation on business premises to be consumed and designed primarily for self-consumption.

As for excess energy, NOVA provides for this through two categories:

Category A

Any excess energy produced in a month which is not consumed by the NOVA consumer may be exported via the supply system to the distribution licensee. The value of the exported energy shall be credited to the account of the NOVA consumer to be used to offset the bill payment for the next billing period.

* The unit price (RM/kWh) of the energy exported in the billing period to the supply system shall be based on the average System Marginal Price (SMP).

Category B

Any excess energy produced in a month which is not consumed by the NOVA consumer may be exported via the supply system to up to 3 designated premises. The value of the exported energy shall be credited to the account of such designated premise to be used to offset the bill payment for the next billing period.

* The unit price (RM/kWh) of the energy exported in the billing period to the supply system shall be based on the average System Marginal Price (SMP).

FAQs

What is the eligibility criteria and capacity limits for each category?

Category A
Eligibility Criteria:
• Registered consumers of TNB in Peninsular Malaysia
• Non-domestic consumers of TNB

Capacity Limits:
NOVA consumer under Category A shall not install more than 1,000kW for net offset and subject to the following conditions:
1. The maximum capacity of the inverter output of the solar PV installation shall not be more than 75% of maximum demand of the NOVA consumer under the NOVA contract.
2. The maximum demand of the NOVA consumer is based on:
• the average of the recorded maximum demand of the past twelve (12) months; or
• the declared maximum demand for NOVA consumers with less than twelve (12) months record
3. For low voltage consumers, the maximum capacity limit is 60% of fuse rating (for direct meter) or 60% of current transformer (CT) rating.

Category B
Eligibility Criteria:
• Registered consumers of TNB in Peninsular Malaysia
• Non-domestic consumers of TNB
• For the purpose of Category B, a designated premise of the NOVA consumer includes premise used or operated by its wholly owned subsidiary company

Capacity Limits:
NOVA consumer under Category B shall not install more than 5,000kW for net offset and virtual aggregation and subject to the following conditions:
1. The maximum capacity of the inverter output of the solar PV installation shall not be more than 100% of maximum demand of the NOVA consumer under the NOVA contract.
2. The maximum demand of the NOVA consumer is based on:
• the average of the recorded maximum demand of the past twelve (12) months; or
• the declared maximum demand for NOVA consumers with less than twelve (12) months record
3. For low voltage consumers, the maximum capacity limit is 60% of fuse rating (for direct meter) or 60% of current transformer (CT) rating

What are the benefits of the NOVA program?

The energy generated by NOVA consumers will be consumed first which implies that less energy will be imported from the utility. Under NOVA, any excess energy generated will be exported to the utility grid and will be credited based on the average SMP.

The priority is for self-consumption, however some premises which are not operating during the weekends or public holiday may have excess energy exported to the grid. The credit amount in the month can be used to offset bill payment for the next billing period.

NOVA allows any excess energy produced in a month which is not consumed by the NOVA consumer to be exported to up to three (3) designated premises via the supply system. It will enhance cost efficiency and maximise the use of energy produced by the solar PV installation.

What is the type of installation eligible under NEM NOVA?

The solar PV installation shall be of PV panels mounted on the rooftop of the buildings within the same premise.

Is there any tenure in the NEM contract between the distribution licensee and the NEM approval holder?

The NOVA consumer shall enter into a NOVA contract with the distribution licensee before the commencement date. The offset part of electricity bills will be for a period of ten (10) years upon commencement of the NOVA contract. Within the period, the NOVA consumer is allowed to roll-over any excess energy generated every month. After the ten (10) years period, the solar PV installation shall be strictly for self-consumption in the premise where the solar PV installation was installed. The NOVA contract is deemed to commence upon the installation of the meter by the distribution licensee.

Concept for NEM GoMEn (Government Ministries and Entities)

Quota: 100MW
Tariff Category: Commercial
Implementation Period: 1st February 2021 – 31st December 2023

The concept of NEM GoMEn is that the energy produced from the solar PV installation on government premises will be consumed first, and any excess will be exported to the TNB grid. The credit to be received for such excess energy will be used to offset part of the electricity bill on a “one-on-one” offset basis for a period of ten (10) years of operation.

FAQs

What is the eligibility criteria for NEM GoMEn?

• Registered consumers or applying to be a consumer of TNB in Peninsular Malaysia
• Government Agency(ies) who have not participated in any of the prior solar programmes;

*Goverment Agency means a ministry, department or statutory body established by the government at all levels of administration whether at the federal, state or district levels including local authorities

What is the maximum capacity limit per application?

The maximum capacity of the PV installation shall not exceed 1,000 kW and subject to the following conditions:

a) for medium voltage consumers, not exceeding 75% of maximum demand based on:
• the average of the recorded maximum demand of the past 1 year; or
• the declared maximum demand for consumers with less than 1 year’s record; and

b) for low voltage consumers, not exceeding 60% of fuse rating (for direct meter) or 60% of the current transformer (CT) rating of the metering current transformers.

What are the benefits of NEM GoMEn?

The energy generated by NEM consumers will be consumed first which implies that less energy will be imported from the utility. In many countries, the NEM scheme is effective to hedge against fluctuation or increase in electricity tariff in the future. This is especially relevant for consumers that fall under the high electricity tariff block.

Under this program, any excess energy generated will be exported to the utility grid and will be paid on a “one-on-one” offset basis. The priority is for self-consumption, however some premises which are not operating during the weekends or public holiday may have excess energy exported to the grid. The credit shall be allowed to roll over for a maximum of 12 months.

So, how do you get started on installing a solar PV system (and benefit from NEM 3.0)?

When is it time to upgrade your UPS

The demand for reliable, efficient power protection is greater than ever. Power outages continue to be one of the biggest challenges for many facility managers. According to a recent Uptime Institute survey, power failures account for 36% of the biggest global public service outages. More importantly, 80% of the survey respondents say their service outage was preventable.

Not surprisingly, an essential component of any data center is their Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A data center UPS is a long-term investment and transitioning to a new UPS system could mean potential downtime and operational overheads. However, as operational needs for power load increases, upgrading a UPS system is an eventuality. The question now is how do you know when it is time to upgrade.

Technology which is outdated.
Just like any technology that has been around for long, the technology for data center UPS systems have been continuously evolving and enhanced over time. With each cycle of advancement, UPS systems are improved in almost all aspects which unfortunately brings current assets closer to obsolete technology.

The reality is that all electro-mechanical systems have parts that wear and eventually wear down. A new UPS system lessens maintenance costs with its new warranty and a renewed life cycle. When weighing against the costs of such wear and tear, owners of older UPS systems are realizing the benefits of evaluating and upgrading to keep their critical loads economically and reliably protected.

UPS unable to handle power needs.
One of the main reasons that many data centers decide to upgrade their UPS system is that it will give them increased power capacity when they need it the most. Data centers are increasing their infrastructure and rack density to accommodate growing server demands and accommodate various other needs.

Therefore, the UPS system must be able to provide sufficient power when it kicks in during a power interruption. In choosing to upgrade your UPS, besides having a perfect understanding of your current power needs, you need to also predict your future needs and provide for scalability and expansion.

Inefficient and power-consuming.
Another reason many data centers opt to upgrade their UPS system is to improve energy efficiency. Today’s UPS systems are far more intelligent and have more sophisticated monitoring capabilities that can be better integrated with your data center infrastructure management.

With better monitoring, data center managers can make more accurate and timely decisions about power in their data center, dramatically improving energy efficiency which in turn, leads to significant savings over time.

Making the transition to a new UPS can maximize performance and dramatically improve efficiency, not to mention decrease the risk of downtime and operational costs. The investment will more than pay for itself over time.
