To digest this amount of Data by 2020, we will need 45.6M m2 Data Space and
57.9GW of Data Centre Power
3. Focus on the Future
• With the ever changing technological world, whether we
perceive it or not, we are living in the “Third Industrial
Revolution”
• We have achieved advancements in Technology in the last 20
years, that took the equivalent 2nd Industrial Revolution 200
years.
• This means that the old 20th Century engineering design
templates need to be re-written.
• New 21st Century engineering design solutions need to be
developed to suit the new global Urbanisation Trend.
• Over half the jobs that children currently entering school do
not yet exist and may well be in technology related areas.
• Megatrends are driving huge demand:
– Urbanisation - +2.5B People in cities by 2050
– IoT & Digitisation - 50B connected things by 2020
– Industrialisation - +50% Energy consumption by 2050

4. Data Centre Innovation
• Patented SRM200 relay control reliability module (This doubles the resilience of any
Transformer / Generator change-over system)
• Developed an innovative PLC control scheme for the transformer / generator change-
over
• Developed an innovative UPS scheme which gives A+B supplies via a single
infrastructure with NO Neutrals.
• Fault level analysis software calculations
• Pioneering animation gaming technology for M&E engineering. I can now demonstrate to
clients how the services operate and the user can go into the game, fail equipment and
change various parameters.

5. Data Centre 2025 – Future Possibilities
What will data centres look like in the future?
• Will there be a data centre of some sort on every street corner, just like fibre boxes? Or will the future for data centres hold be in huge
facilities just like Apple’s planned 120,000m2 build?
• “It is likely to be big. There is a level of efficiency you can get with these massive upscale data centres that you cannot really get
if you go small. At the same time, you want to have these small centres closer to the customer for latency reasons. It will
probably be a combination of both.”
• Now that power costs exceed 33% of the total data centre spend, executives will begin to demand a better understanding of
where power costs are being spent and how to reduce them without impacting the business. Alternative power sources and
driving down power usage efficiency (PUE) are a few pieces of the puzzle but they don’t address the underlying problem of IT
workload and excess capacity. The future lies in something more fundamental to the data centre and the application ecosystem itself:
automatically transforming today’s hardware-centric data centres into software-driven environments where applications and service
delivery can be seen, measured and controlled based on workload.
• In today's market, solar power makes up 1% of the power generated in the US, but it is possible that, by 2025, this figure could rise to 20%.

6. Data Centre 2025 – Future Possibilities
• However, to cope with this explosive level of predicted growth, solar technology will need to make some considerable advancements in the
next decade. As an example, currently, a square-metre solar panel can generate about 600 kWh per year in Western Europe.
• This means that supporting power densities of a 6 kW/rack (an average rack power demand) would require ninety square metres of solar
panel for each data centre rack without even factoring in cooling. Currently even with only 2% of power coming from solar, the size of the
solar array would be almost double that of the data centre itself!
• However, it is likely that other non-renewable sources will play a role. Research from Microsoft's Global Foundation Services suggests that
data centre engineers have also started exploring the possibility of powering a data centre entirely by fuel cells built into the server racks –
resulting in the power plant being brought inside the data centre and minimising power distribution losses. You could even generate your
own power with chicken litter and burn it and create steam which in turn can drive the turbine.
• The trend towards the deployment of virtualized and converged IT infrastructures by companies has a significant impact on data centre
requirements. Blade servers and virtualized gear require meaningfully more power and cooling per rack unit given the dense characteristics
of the infrastructure. As 1U servers can now draw 500 watts – 1 kW of power per rack unit, legacy data centres built to support 4-5 kW of
maximum power density per rack will face major limitations. Power density has emerged as the critical variable in data centre
infrastructure, and it is the key to lowering total cost of ownership for customers.

7. Data Centre 2025 – Future Possibilities
• The data centre is consistently being asked to do more: handle more capacity, deliver more availability and achieve higher resource
effectiveness. These advances in data centre technology are due to the forward thinking of the people managing the business-critical
facilities – the same people who are likely to continue to evolve the data centre in the future.
• Due to more effective equipment, data centres will require much less energy to produce the same level of computing performance available
today.
• However, it is also clear that the demand for digital services has historically always outstripped technology advancements by a
considerable margin, resulting in data centre power growth regardless of those advancements.
• What is certain is that future computing and storage vehicles will likely be more resource effective,
more powerful and denser than those of today.

8. Data Centre 2025 – Future Possibilities
The reasons for these potential changes can be attributable to:
• The cost of IT Infrastructure is at least 50% lower:
• Space – Mega Data Centres can be positioned in low cost areas, the wrong side of any track.
• Power & Cooling – Mega Data Centres can be positioned to take advantage of low cost green power and can achieve efficiencies of true
PUE of 1.5 or less, compared with true PUE of 3 or more in traditional data centres.
• Long-distance Communication Costs – Effective Mega Data Centres are set up with multiple carriers that compete for long-distance
communication. There is no “last-mile” tax from the ex-Bell companies.
• Communication costs to cloud services – The cost of high-speed communications to multiple service providers that are also resident in
Mega Data Centres can be cut by a factor of 100, from $10,000s/month to $100s/month for a line.
• The cost of IT equipment from standardization & just-in-time deployment - By providing standardized racks, servers, networking &
storage equipment with a standardized layout across a large number of customers, Mega Data Centres can use economies of scale and
bulk purchasing to reduce equipment and set-up costs. The ease of deploying additional equipment avoids the costs of buying equipment
early and reduces "just in case" over-purchasing.
• Data centres are here to stay - Moore's Law is not exhausted and the scientists predict that the ultimate computer is a proton cube. We
are still on the bottom of an exponential growth curve.
