Abstract

SPIC Malaysia is one of the world's leading providers of Data Center Consulting, custom software, mobile application development, as well as building many data centers across the world. For one of their clients, we were assigned the task of implementing a new data center that can offer full security and compliance features. To design a relevant data center infrastructure, several aspects must be thoughtfully planned, such as performance, resilience, and flexibility for fast deployment and support of new services. We studied constituent elements such as the selection of appropriate data tier, technical goals, hardware, software, and power distributions so that the designed data center encounters no major issues while functioning. Furthermore, we also compared and resolved the implementation of cooling systems and fire suppression systems along with securities such as EMS and BMS for the data center.
