[. . . ] Data Center Efficiency Assessment OPTIMIZATION Services Issue August 2009 Pages 2 Introduction OPTIMIZATION Services from Fujitsu offer efficient consultation packages for existing infrastructure environments at a fixed price. This has been made possible by systematically analyzing a large number of successfully implemented consultation projects. [. . . ] In order to optimally align our Data Center Assessments to your company's specific needs, we first clarify beforehand some fundamental questions: how secure must your IT operations be?In a workshop with our consultants present the current technical options for improving the physical security and energy efficiency of the data center operations and examples of identified best practices. Analysis of Customer Environment The next step is an inspection on-site. This is where Fujitsu consultants identify and analyze possible weak points in the individual infrastructure areas; the following are decisive factors, such as location (environment, floor-space use) Air conditioning and refrigeration systems (air conditioning, air distribution, air conditioning supply, re-cooling) Fire and smoke protection (fire loads, fire areas, fire alarm system, sensors, sealing, covers, doors, extinguishers) Power Supply (transformer, cabling, UPS, power backup equipment, lightning and overvoltage protection, electromagnetic radiation and electromagnetic compatibility [EMC]) Water supply (piping, drains, rain, surface and ground water drainage) Burglary / theft / sabotage Safety devices (access control, threat detection equipment, alarm, etc. ) Physical network (server locations, cable routing, etc. ) 3. Customer Report Preparation Further to the on-site inspection the risk status of your IT operations are determined and assessed. Based on your specifications and our assessment results we develop a catalog of actions specially designed to meet your requirements. Presentation of Report & Recommendations Fujitsu consultants present and discuss the results and recommendations with you on-site.
