asked on

design of a data centre with a network operations centre (thoughts and steps) ???

Hi all,

This is for anyone is in the know / has looked into this sort of thing before / has designed one / works in a Data Centre.

Im putting some thoughts together to take into consideration for design of a data centre with a network operations centre (NOC)

In the area of Network design only.

If anyone has any brief notes or knows of anywhere i can gain more information on this would be great!


Thanks!

There are many things to consider and the reason there are no straightforward directions on how to do this is because there are dozens and dozens of setups that are correct based on the requirements. You may have better luck if you make a list of some of the requirements that you have, add some details about your environment and then post that information

Hi Guys

thanks for your comments - maybe i should have been more clear.

I have taking environmental needs all into account.
we have room with raised floor for cabling.
HVAC system suppling 40kW of cooling
UPS backup diesel generator suppling over 100KVA for up to 7 days
Fire system
full alarm alerting system.

The question was focused mainly on Network design only

ok, lets go down the route of a typical hosting company. offering shared and dedicated hosting environments.
the core network and management network is what i need to focus on,
as i can build up each customers required network / servers around this.

any thoughts on WAN integration with the ISP?
Management network integration. i.e. do you have a completely physical seperate network to every device?
Core network infrastructure design for highspeed backbone switching?
