DATA CENTRES MANAGEMENT AND OPERATION
Removing hot spots reduces the likelihood of hardware failure and allows operating temperatures to increase, resulting in energy savings
increase, resulting in energy savings. Experience is relevant to both organisations
and individuals. At an organisational level, this can be described by the number of data centre operating years and refl ected in how effectively the processes in place deal with change management, resources and so on. Within a team, the depth of experience
of individuals is important and may be described by the number of years of relevant experience, their knowledge and attitude. Training has an important role in helping enhance team knowledge, but an individual’s attitude towards learning is also important. This is refl ected in their openness towards learning new things, sharing with others and their ability to work as part of a team. In some cases you may fi nd a human Single Point Of Failure (SPOF) where all the site knowledge rests with one person – the availability of that person presents a risk to the operational continuity of the facility. The learning process can be modelled as a continuous cycle with a number of elements reinforcing each other: refl ection, theory, practice and experience.
Learning curve We refl ect on a problem, analyse it theoretically, put the theory into practice, experience the outcome and then refl ect on how well this addressed the issue. It is possible to apply this model to the
data centre industry, where generally the different parts of the cycle apply to different roles – the business’ managers refl ects on its needs, the design consultant applies engineering theory to create a facility to fi t those needs, the building contractor has to put this into practice and the operational team experience the results. There are various points of handover
where information is transferred – the client creates a design brief for the designer, who, in turn, writes a specifi cation for the contractor. They hand over the fi nished site to the operational team, who reports back to the client. A common problem is where these handovers do not go smoothly and there are contractual or organisational barriers between the different stakeholders, so knowledge is not effectively transferred.
