DATACENTER OVERVIEW

Data Centers
Data center (DC) is a physical facility that enterprises use to house computing and storage
infrastructure in a variety of networked formats.

Modern DC for the Cloud Architecture
Geography:
- Two or more regions
- Meets data residency requirements
- Fault-tolerant from complete region failures
Region:
- Set of datacenters within a metropolitan area
- Network latency perimeter < 2ms
Availability Zones:
- Unique physical locations within a region
- Each zone made up of one or more DCs
- Independent power, cooling, networking
- Inter-AZ network latency < 2ms
- Fault tolerance from DC failure 10

Data Centers
Traditional data centers
Host a large number of relatively small- or medium-sized applications, each running on a
dedicated hardware infrastructure that is decoupled and protected from other systems
in the same facility.
Usually for multiple organizational units or companies.

DATACENTER ARCHITECTURE
12
Scale-up vs. scale-out
Scale-up: high-cost powerful CPUs, more cores, more memory.
Scale-out: adding more low cost, commodity servers.

Costs for operating a data center
DCs consume 3% of global electricity Monthly cost = $3’530’920
supply (416.2 TWh > UK’s 300 TWh).
