Distribution control systems for data center
Montri Wiboonrat · 2015
System uptime is the crucial objective of data center operations. Distribution control system (DCS) proposes design topologies and attributes for critical network, electrical, and mechanical systems to attain these availability. Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) is hardware and software tools for monitor, measure, control, manage performance, utilization and energy consumption through direct digital control (DDC) devices. DCIM provides DCS function for all IT-related equipment (demand side) and facility infrastructure components (supply side). This paper was derived from standard changed requirements from Tier Classification which will be affected data center design in the future. Understanding integrity constraints are the key to optimize demand side and supply side through DCIM distribution control system for data center. This paper purposes autonomous demand and supply response model through DCS for increasing energy efficiency and resource utilization while sustains data center operations and protect critical loads.
