ALFATECH APPROACH

PROJECT APPROACH Our team of data center experts keeps up with the most up to the minute technology advances and industry standards, as is AlfaTech’s goal to provide each client with the most cutting edge design services tailored to meet their needs now and for any future changing requirements. We know that from project to project, many of the tried-and-true design approaches can help ensure a successful outcome; but as no two projects are exactly alike, our approach must be customized to the individual specifics of each project. For this project, our initial step is to use our custom data center project planning questionnaire to determine the key project goals and success factors and then to use these factors as the touchstone against which all future decisions are made. DATA CENTER PROGRAMMING Data center programming is fundamental in understanding the true business requirements and ensuring the design, and ultimately the construction, meets the business and end-user needs. AlfaTech has developed an extensive data center programming process and methodology that combines IT and Facilities requirements and objectives into a collaborative approach. The programming process consists of individual and/or group interviews, collaboration workshops combined with industry best practices. The programming effort produces a formal Owner Program Requirements (OPR) document that is then used throughout the design and construction process to maintain alignment with the defined business objectives and requirements.

Location : The philosophy of design must take into account local weather and atmospheric conditions as well as utilities. Weather conditions of extreme cold or hot ambient temperatures, humidity, and other considerations such as high atmospheric dust content in farming communities will need to be accounted for in the design. Utility data such as power capacity, reliability, and cost; and similar information for data fiber, fuel oil, water … etc. Local building codes may have a large impact on the types of HVAC systems allowed (efficiency), Power generator operational hours and pollution control, sound level, and structural design requirements. Redundancy : The philosophy of redundancy must be based on and satisfy the operating philosophy of the data center company. Therefore, if the data center operating philosophy is to mirror all data between two distant sites, the loss of power, a large earthquake, or other such events, would require the operation to be run from a second site. This condition would require a lesser level of redundancy than an independent site requiring all redundancy to be located on-site which requires consideration for equipment redundancy when a generator or other major piece of equipment is down for maintenance. Space Allocation : Each data center operator/owner will have a desired operational layout concept that must be incorporated into the Basis of Design for a given property providing building flexibility, along with local code requirements, building owner requirements, city requirements, and needs of any co-inhabitants in the building. This might include separation of batteries into dedicated rooms, EMF considerations, rack/row lengths, racks or cabinets to house servers, floor and roof seismic loading limits, raised floor height considerations, security concept, equipment access to data floor, generator, and equipment yard sighting on a given lot, or other requirements. Interestingly, many clients are moving away from using raised floors. The overall concept of the data center usually starts with the definition of operator philosophy on wire management such as data routes and power routes above or below raised floor or split; type of power distribution and power usage of a typical server rack. (cont.)

The OPR Development Process is intended to facilitate collaboration between stakeholders and bridge Facilities and IT organizations by aligning individual departmental objectives with overarching business requirements and strategies. An effective OPR is organized into the following sections: Business Requirements – Defines how the data center will support and or enable the business to meet the goals and objectives for the enterprise, focus on applications, service levels, and business impact. Functional Requirements – Based on business requirements, defines the capacity, reliability, efficiency, scalability, and modularity required to meet business needs. Technical Requirements – Focused on IT, defines the requirements that drive plans for network, servers, and storage that will ultimately be supported. Strategies around these technologies have significant impacts on design considerations. Operational Requirements – Focus on Facilities and Operations. Defines support strategies, physical security, maintenance, and operational requirements for a successful facility. Design Considerations – Based on all of the above, the design considerations serve as instructions to the design team to point them in the right direction. This section includes all required design disciplines. While AlfaTech has the capability and experience to take clients from concept to move-in, we believe the most important step in this process is initial programming. This is where the true business requirements are defined and put into proper perspective regarding competing priorities such as budget, schedule, or location. The programming process guides our clients through all necessary considerations to effectively define data center needs and capabilities. This is often measured with parameters such as size, capacity, reliability, efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. The process we have developed combines years of both Facilities and IT experience into an effective Data Center planning methodology.

DATA CENTER PROGRAMMING

Power Systems : The philosophy of design for the data center power systems is either a radial or a distributed distribution system. Radial systems are used less frequently and typically on smaller facilities of less than 4,000 amps because of the high cost and size of equipment above 4,000 amps. Distributed distribution systems provide the opportunity to disperse power and keep equipment under 3000 amps and generator sets to a maximum size of 2 megawatts. The distributed distribution system is more reliable since a single point of failure will not necessarily bring down an entire system. A distributed system must be properly designed to include UPS loads, and HVAC loads to generator ability to start these loads. HVAC loads must be evenly spread across the distributed power busses to balance loads and ensure that all HVAC units serving an area are not taken offline when one bus goes down. Owner preference may be for use of PDUs or individual transformers and panels to distribute power to power strips on individual racks. Monitoring and power management can be done at rack level or 480-volt level with significant cost variation. HVAC Systems : The philosophy of design for the data center cooling systems is primarily dependent on three things: local codes; the physical restraints and opportunities of the facilities such as the ability to place equipment in an exterior yard or on the roof; and the preferences of the data center operator. AlfaTech designs have included: on floor CRAC units with DX cooling in yards and on roofs; CRAH units with chilled water cooling using both air-cooled chillers and dry coolers located in yards and on roofs; rooftop air-cooled package air handling units serving air through duct down to underfloor; interior mezzanine located air handlers with ducted air down to the floor; rooftop air cooled chillers to provide cooling; and floor-mounted built-up air handlers supplying air underfloor. The ideal power-efficient system will incorporate air-side and/or liquid-side economizers to use free cooling, such as fluid-to-fluid heat exchangers, dry coolers, or pumped refrigerant economizers used instead of compressor based systems whenever feasible. Cooling towers and other evaporative-based cooling solutions are a problem due to the necessity of using and storing large quantities of water. If a large source of water is available, such as a lake or groundwater wells, this is a

plausible option. Air discharge pattern to the underfloor or into cabinets can present design problems if improperly implemented, as the venturi effect can pull air from the data room back under the raised floor. Full hot and cold airstream containment strategies are favored whenever feasible to support efficient critical cooling air distribution. Particularly high power density facilities may even warrant direct liquid-based cooling instead of the more traditional air-based approaches. This is accomplished with liquid-on-the-chip, cold-plate, and liquid immersion cooling systems. At the onset of the project, AlfaTech will present a single point of contact that will coordinate the internal MEP/Technology team as well as be the direct day-to day contact . Nathan Kirby, PE, ATD, LEED AP BD+C is our Mission Critical Practice Leader. He has over 17 years in the industry and he leads the project technical team who have extensive experience working with high end data center programming and design projects. AlfaTech routinely operates at different levels of similar style design teams on international data center projects and therefore uniquely understand the roles and responsibilities of each team member. In our role as supporting team members to the Coordinated Project Delivery Team, our role is to serve as the Data Center subject matter expert to support and facilitate the flow of information from the client to the design team members. Where necessary, our expertise is used to advise and recommend strategies and approaches to design based on our extensive industry experience.

DATA CENTER PROGRAMMING

DATA CENTER PHILOSOPHY With the seemingly exponential explosion of data and the associated requirements for servers and storage, it isn’t surprising that many organizations, both public and private, are struggling to keep up with the ever-changing technologies and the immediate and constantly increasing requirements of IT and Facilities departments. AlfaTech has been on the frontlines of this trend for the past twenty years and has been a leader in the design and construction of state-of-the-art data center facilities. We implement the latest design methods for our clients to support emerging technologies and to assure energy efficiency and scalability for growth and changes in technology. We’ve made a corporate commitment to providing training and continuing education to a growing staff of engineers and project managers dedicated to the design and construction of data center facilities. Our esteemed team of professionals are educated in all areas of IT and Facilities operations and sustainable design for mission critical data center facilities, and are active members of the AFCOM, ASHRAE, The Green Grid, OpenCompute, 7x24 Exchange, SVLG and the USGBC. This commitment to continuous learning encourages growth and innovation to assure that our facilities are designed with the latest technologies, best practices, operational efficiencies and total cost of ownership in mind. Many members of our data center team were formerly employees in charge of IT and Facilities departments of large corporations, giving them a unique and practical perspective from which to interface with our client's management team, technical staff and end-users. These critical staff members are integral in bridging the gap between the facilities staff, IT staff and the executive leadership; bringing a common language and voice to all parties so each group is critical in assuring a successful program and implementing a solution that satisfies the current and future needs of the IT staff while providing clear and practical cost evaluations and controls to satisfy the fiscal constraints of the executive staff. Our firm’s commitment to designing cutting-edge data center facilities begins with a meeting-of-the minds and is carried through the project’s completion and commissioning of the facility to assure everything is performing as intended and the facility meets or exceeds the design intent of the stakeholders. This is our Data Center Commitment and our commitment to our clients.

Developing a Data Center Strategy is not about planning or designing a specific data center facility, rather it is about developing an understanding of why the Data Center(s) exist in the first place. Companies who experience rapid growth or those that have been in business for many years often find themselves with a fragmented data center portfolio. This can include multiple server rooms, labs housing production systems, multiple colocation facilities, etc. All of these locations were likely established to accommodate growing demands for data center capacity. Most companies with established data centers lack a formal strategy that defines how to provide the business with the agility it requires to enable growth while maintaining a cost-effective data center footprint. The development of true Data Center Strategy begins with executive sponsorship. Our process is intended to work with key stakeholders to establish meaningful priorities, goals and objectives that align with the business plan and strategy. Having a strategy in place provides objectivity when making value driven decisions. An effective strategy will leverage strengths and encourage collaboration across the company. One key goal of the Data Center Strategy development process is to establish common ground between all stakeholders by using a common language everyone understands. This process draws attention to the business needs and strategies rather than departmental or even individual preferences. The results of an effective strategy will optimize OPEX and CAPEX by minimizing non-performing assets and establish buy-in from the onset of future Data Center initiatives.
