When the weill county sheriff's office had the opportunity to build a dedicated data center, Falbo was determined to take full advantage of the new $33 million, 8,500-square-foot facility."We're building a data center, so we need to add what we want before it's finished," Falbo said.If you try to install and deploy your own device after the data center facility is deployed, it's even harder.
Bruce a. Taylor, executive vice President of industry media firm Datacenter Dynamics, said Falbo's access to expansion and design of Datacenter infrastructure was unusual, but will become more common in the future.
Organizational IT departments rarely worked on data center planning 10 or 15 years ago.In many cases today, IT departments are pushing decisions about data centers, including design and construction, and the control of data centers is no longer tied to real estate companies.IT belongs to the IT department now.
As data center facilities are planned and built, officials and IT staff at some U.S. state and local government agencies are working more closely with other departments.This coordination can result in greater efficiency, performance, and flexibility in data infrastructure operations while reducing infrastructure footprint.
Data center upgrades will coordinate to maximize space
By coordinating data centers and building designs, the sheriff's office ensures that IT has sufficient space and physical layout to meet its IT needs, Falbo said.Falbo originally required between 1,300 and 1,400 square feet of data center space, which was only slightly reduced to 1, 150 square feet.
The data center project also gives Falbo a budget to buy new equipment, a project that would otherwise have been difficult to finance.The adoption of new hardware is necessary to reduce the size of the physical infrastructure to accommodate the new space.County sheriff's office in the new data center, the running of a power supply with all Ethernet port Cisco Catalyst 4510 r + E switches, a dell EMC VxRail E460 super fusion infrastructure equipment (EMC to connect to the dell brocade VDX 6740 switches) and a EMC Unity 300 device for extra storage.
"We now use two or three racks to install the core equipment," Falbo said.If you try to reuse an old device that has been working for seven to nine years, it could take another six to seven years.
Migration to cloud computing limits the spread of local deployments
When Arizona moved to replace its aging and malfunctioning core data centers, officials first explored building their own facilities.However, Suzan tasvibi-tanha, head of Arizona's corporate-sharing service, says it could take three to four years to get funding approved.In addition, she says her department no longer has to manage its own buildings.
"As an IT department, we don't want to focus on data center devices," says tasvibi-tanha. "we want to run the data center business.We don't want to worry about real estate.
Instead, Arizona chose to rent space from tier-iii managed data center facilities.The measure eliminates the data center of capital construction, at the same time improve the reliability, but because the state government will pay for the extension of space, so we must design layout as effectively as possible."We are trying to maximize the deployment of more devices in smaller Spaces," says tasvibi-tanha.
Arizona has specialized devices and gateways for networking, firewalls, and security, where network devices are isolated through security walls and have restricted access controls.The server array is built for the current capacity because the state adopts a cloud-first policy and its internally deployed devices are not significantly extended.
Future-oriented data centers make room for new IT requirements
Pueblo, Colorado, in 2010 set up a data center, this is part of the Pueblo judicial center construction projects, IT managers understand because of using virtualization technology, data center space is shrinking, but they have to estimate the future may need to how much space."This data center will operate for decades."Lori Pinz, the city's IT director, says he expects the data center to last 60 years.
The city's IT department designed and built the data center, which is about 800 square feet in space.The city's IT department took up only about half of the data center's space when IT was built, and did not expand its footprint in the years that followed.But Pinz said the extra space would give the city flexibility to adapt to changing demands, including the anticipated need for additional storage space to accommodate video from public security cameras.About two years ago, Pueblo began experiencing a slowdown in public security and financial applications, replacing aging Storage devices with Nimble Storage's full flash array.The acquisition integrates many devices and frees up space for data centers.
Pinz said the Pueblo IT department will initially its IT infrastructure and other public safety hardware apart, but as more and more to adopt virtualization technology, IT becomes less important.
In Illinois, will county sheriff's office under the leadership of the chief Mike Kelley, built in 2016, its public security architecture and data center, the data center facilities opened to traffic in November 2016.Falbo said the data center not only has higher performance and reliability, but is also expected to meet the county's IT needs in the next few years.
Falbo said, "I am trying to build a data center to the younger generation, I do not want it to last only for a period of 5 to 10 years, we hope that we have enough capacity or UPS backup power or cooling capacity, construction can satisfy the future demand of data center."
