BrightTalk: Data Center Pulse "Stack": Treating the data center as a system

 

The data center contains a tremendous number of variables including where it’s located, what tier level it’s built to, KW per cabinet and dozens of others. Of the facilities and operations that anyone is responsible for the data center is one of the most complex and costly. Failing to use a holistic, “systems” approach on this “complex & costly” environment is  risky to availability, agility and the bottom line of your business. Another factor driving the need for a more holistic approach to managing your DC strategy and on-going operations is the rapid change occuring in this space. More change has occurred in IT infrastructrure and in data center facilities in the last four years than in the previous 20.  The Data Center Pulse “Stack” was created to help the data center staff communicate, plan and manage change to your system.

Episode 15 - The Stack

In this episode, Dean Nelson talks with Jeremy Rodriguez, the Co-Chair of the Data Center Pulse Technical Advisory Board (TAB), about the development of the Stack Framework. The Stack is an output of the DCP Summit in February, 2009. It is a common and holistic way to look at the all layers of the datacenter stack, their dependencies on each other and their impact on the overall datacenter efficiency. The ultimate goal is for DCP users to define and adopt a standard way of defining and measuring all components of the datacenter. The development work is underway with a target of adoption by January 1, 2010.
