COOLING ENERGY ASSESSMENT OF AN EXISTING DATA CENTER IN HANOI

Abstract

Demand for information handling and processing applications has grown significantly in response to the exponential expansion of data trafficking, data processing, e-learning, social networking, digitization of services, and general shift to digital platforms. The enormous amounts of data produced and used daily are stored and handled on a data center, including servers, routers, firewalls, and storage devices. The deployment of data centers as essential assets for any organizations is growing and calls for attention on their lifetime and efficiency. After many years operating, it is particularly important to assess the critical facilities. The assessment is crucial for the operational capacity of the data center to be kept and optimized as well as for the assessment of its future development capacity to meet the growing needs. This paper describes a thorough approach for evaluating typical data center projects to find hazards and risks that might compromise the availability or safety of data centers. It also offers ideas for enhancing the dependability, resilience, and efficiency of present data center architecture with low operational disturbance. We aims to evaluate the energy efficiency and risk of present data centers so developing a plan for improving and preserving their performance in a society going more digital. The approach consists of a thorough analysis of the current DC’s infrastructure, the identification of possible weaknesses, and the formulation of plans to reduce the found hazards. The case study assessment helps data center operators to better run their facilities, so ensuring their resilience and robustness in the presence of changing needs and possible hazards. This pro-active data center assessment approach is essential to enable the continuous digital transformation deployment and protect the vital services modern of DC’s owners
