Engineer a test and development lab solution for Datacenter

Engineer a test and development lab solution for Datacenter The labs hardware will consist of: 1. HP C7000 Blade enclosure 2. NetApp 2050 3. KVM Software requirements: 1. Windows 2008 Ent R2 2. VMWAre View Horizon 3. ESX 4. VMWare vCenter Air conditioning (AC) Research will need to include a Visio Diagram of rack of rack elevation and specific power and coolant requirements and specifics for all items below System is room-specific and humidity controlled Independent, not connected to main building system With design criteria of 72°F (+/- 2°F) and 45% RH (+/- 5%) as measured at the return air of the AC unit Unit is at least 4 feet from computer rack system, so that condensation or other leaks don’t harm computer equipment, and access for maintenance is possible Unit uses the campus chilled water system, if available. Design criteria: Entering water temperature at 46°F and return at 60°F. Future planning Sufficient redundancy installed: Backup refrigerant-based cooling systems in parallel with the building chilled water system Multiple AC units in an N+1 design Sufficient future expandability and scalability analyzed and designed in conjunction with the mechanical and electrical systems Shutdown capability of automatic systems based on return air temperature monitor Statistics calculated during the design phase of how fast room temperature will rise during a loss of cooling Appropriate plan for removal of water from AC condensation, either by gravity or pump Electrical systems Capacity and quality Separate, dedicated power panels for the computer equipment and HVAC. Design systems so that ultimate buildout does not exceed 300 watts per square foot. Power quality considerations to determine need for isolation transformers and uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems No heat-generating support equipment in the space Power Distribution Unit layout with power monitoring and UPS per rack Electrical system with an isolated ground, dedicated neutral, and a grounding grid Emergency planning Emergency/ back-up power not tied into the building life safety system Separate back-up power, if desired (for example, UPS- or generator-supplied and maintained by the department) Electrical distribution system with shunt trip for emergency shutdown
