Managing the Infrastructure Management Elephant
Mission Critical Magazine - July 1, 2010
Failure to manage is often the elephant in the room when troubleshooting data center problems. Asking six data center managers to define infrastructure management is a sure way to get six different answers. It is similar to the ancient story of the six blind men and the elephant. When each of the men approached the elephant, he came to the conclusion that the elephant was like a wall, a spear, a snake, a tree, a fan, and a rope. In the end, they were all wrong. Just as an elephant is more than the sum of its parts, a true data center management solution is more than the sum of the various infrastructure management tool sets.

Physical Access To The Data Center
- May 21, 2010 Vol.32 Issue 11
"The only people who should have unrestricted data center access are those who are critical and have been trained in all aspects of the data center, both IT and facility," says Pete Sacco, founder and president of PTS Data Center Solutions (www.ptsdcs.com).
"Everybody else should be there with an escort and watched. All
the time, I see people who have their electrical or air
conditioning systems serviced and just leave the contractor
alone to do his thing. Nobody checks on him. Nobody even makes
sure the maintenance was done. Noncritical access should be like
scuba diving. It's a two-man effort."

Budget For Power & Cooling, Processor.com
- May 21, 2010 Vol.32 Issue 11
For better cooling, take a look at how the room is insulated, notes Peter Sacco, president of PTS Data Center Solutions (www.ptsdcs.com). "Have sufficient insulation between the computer room and adjacent spaces, especially where windows or outside walls are considered," he says. It might be advantageous to get rid of windows altogether, he adds, because they tend to have a "solar heat gain potential."

Also, keep in mind that one size doesn't fit all, says Peter Sacco, president of PTS Data Center Solutions (www.ptsdcs.com). What may work in one area may not be appropriate in another space. "There are few fixes that work for all instances," he says. "However, any that reduce air mixing and promote effective air management are always a good idea."

Five ways to reduce data center power consumption, SearchCIO
- May 21, 2010 Vol.32 Issue 11
Balancing the data center power load correctly can be a key way to realize extra power capacity in the facility. Pete Sacco, president of PTS Data Center Solutions, said that when many data centers install their three-phase uninterruptible power supplies (UPSes), they end up plugging it into a power panel in a way that doesn't maximize potential. In particular, they might plug too much equipment into the "A" phase of the panel when there is plenty of capacity on the "B" and "C" phases. "If I have loads of 186, 52 and 31 amps on my phases, I know that I can take loads off of A and spread them to B and C," he said. "I've actually done nothing to deliver more power. I've just load-balanced it."
