Whether you are considering building a new data center or upgrading your existing environment, a lot has changed in the past five years. As businesses have come to consider IT a mission critical asset, the physical security and stability of the data center are more important than ever. Computing power requirements have increased exponentially and have driven the demand for high density power and cooling solutions often running existing facilities completely out of capacity or causing prolonged outages. We will explore many of the existing requirements, illustrate how they are changing and explore some of the solutions that have been put in place to address all of these issues. The presentation will focus on the construction of the BlueLock Indianapolis Data Center that was completed in March 2007 and will address multiple topics including power capacity sizing, thermodynamics, high density computing(blade servers and multi-core processors), hardened facilities, audit standards and physical security.
Speaker: Pat O’Day, BlueLock’s chief technology officer, is responsible for engineering, commercializing and making the company’s “infrastructure-as-as-service” virtual cloud computing model a business reality. With more than 20 years of experience as an information technology professional, he defines BlueLock’s services, architects its unique hosted IT environments, spearheads its strategic vendor alliances and oversees service deployment and delivery. Starting his career in network management and systems integration and then transitioning into managed IT services, data center management and disaster recovery, Pat is uniquely qualified to develop and rollout BlueLock’s innovative capacity-on-demand value proposition.
