Data Center Blocks


Water Cooling Solution for DC Rear door heat exchanger for water cooling using plenum of a raised access floor Water cooling can increase the density of servers and racks Chiller less water cooling (evaporative cooling using tower) Basic air conditioning for DC VFD based control for water flow Air Cooling:

Heat Capacity Thermal Resistance T: 50 – 100 K

Water Cooling: Heat Capacity Thermal Resistance T: 5 – 10 K Direct water cooling

Demand Supply Imbalance & Need for Alternate Clean Energy

10 PF DC spends INR 24 Cr per Year on Diesel !! Power situation is getting worse every year due to coal shortages that is worsening demand/supply imbalance  uncertainties in energy supply & escalating Costs

Clean and Cost Effective Solutions are possible with Solar


Solar Powered Data Centers and Solutions IBM Value Proposition: •Solar + DC-DC + Water cooling Integration •TCO savings: consolidation in energy and real estate •ROI though offset of DG and unstable Grid Towards Smart and Energy Efficient Data Center Solar + DC-DC + Water Cooling Integration at IBM Bangalore Data Center First of its kind WW ! © 2013 IBM Corporation

Path Forward  Initiative to deploy solar powered DC for internal use  IBM Innovation Center in Kenya to use solar powered servers  New solution offering around solar powered DC  Deep engagement with several customers looking for MWp solution  Lower TCO for data center owners

 Reduced energy expenditures  Lower carbon footprint  Additional revenue via REC

 DC-DC integration is very attractive for telecom industry  MSC and BTS have a high share of DC load  Solar powered DC is a win-win-win solution for IBM, solar OEMs, and DC http://news.cnet.com/8301-11128_3-20129179-54/ibm-brings-solar-power-to-data-centers/ http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=ibm-surges-past-facebook-and-apple-2011-11/ owners / end customers © 2009 IBM Corporation
