Standards Development
Standardized method of optimizing IT provisioning within data centres by utilizing KPI’s that enable the development of IT profiles for individual systems or platforms. The combination of the system and platform KPI’s are used to establish an IT provisioning profile, establishing standard forecasting methods to optimize data centre resource effectiveness.
In-Scope:
- Method for benchmarking and trending IT provisioning
- Capability assessment/indicators of IT equipment over infrastructure life
-cycle including preparatory, commissioning, expansion/contraction and/or retirement of IT equipment
Excluded:
- IT equipment energy efficiency for servers (covered by ISO/IEC JTC 1 / SC 39 / WG 1 / 30134-4)
- IT equipment utilization for servers (covered by ISO/IEC JTC 1 / SC 39 / WG 1 / 30134-5)
- Application platform energy effectiveness (covered by ISO/IEC JTC 1 / SC 39 / WG 1 / 23544)
- Data Centre facilities and infrastructures (covered by ISO/IEC JTC1 / SC39 / WG 3 / 22237.x)
Data centre space, power and cooling infrastructure are assets with long life-cycles that are either fixed, or have limited scalability. Data centre management and operations, along with designers and planners have been challenged to identify appropriate infrastructure capacity criteria, intended to have life-cycles of 15 to 25 or more years, when designing new or upgrading existing data centres based on the current IT applications and systems ecosystem with life-cycles of 3 to 5 years. Data Centre IT Provisioning provides a method to profile future IT system and platform requirements beyond the IT equipment’s life cycle based on the current data centre IT applications and systems, IT equipment platform assets, their expansion or contraction trends, and the impact of future changes in technology network, compute and storage processing density and efficiency. This will help guide designers and planners to develop a profile forecasting future requirements and manage the infrastructure to improve the efficiency of the available resources.
