Cost Model for Planning, Development and Operation of a Data Center Chandrakant D. Patel, Amip J. Shah1 Internet Systems and Storage Laboratory HP Laboratories Palo Alto HPL-2005-107(R.1) June 9, 2005* data center, data The emergence of the compute utility and growth in data center based center cost model, compute services necessitates an examination of costs associated with energy efficient data housing and powering the compute, networking and storage equipment. center, data center The cost model must take into account the complexity in power delivery, costs, data center cooling, and required levels of redundancies for a given service level cost of operation agreement. The cost of maintenance and amortization of power delivery and cooling equipment must also be included. Furthermore, the advent of slim servers such as blades has led to immense physical compaction. While compaction can enable consolidation of multiple data centers into one, the resulting high thermal power density must be addressed from power delivery and cooling point of view. Indeed, the industry is abound with figures on sizing the total future data center capacity based on power 2 2 loading per unit area, e.g. 500 W/m today moving to 3000 W/m in the future. However, in doing so, one needs to be mindful of the actual usage of the critical data center space with
