Data Center Design Consideration: Electrical Rooms - Mission critical and safety-critical installations require added redundancy to ensure the continuity of business operations. Redundancy of systems requires more space, as the equipment is separated into different rooms in different parts of the building. Having panels that are part of a redundant distribution arrangement (A and B sources) located adjacent or in close proximity to each other in the same electrical room greatly minimizes the value that the intended redundancy offers. The redundant equipment should be located in separately rated spaces, with the A sources and distribution located apart from the B sources and distribution.

If Bloomington gets hit by a nuclear strike, Oncourse will still be running after the fallout clears. At least, that was the impression I got when I toured the IU Data Center earlier this week. Located on the UITS campus at 10th St and the 45/46 bypass, IU's IT infrastructure hub is located in a beige, single-story facility with only a single set of windows on the whole building. The subdued appearance of the building hides the fact that it has 18-inch thick reinforced concrete walls and can withstand a hit from an F5 tornado. And once you go past the card-access front door, there's some very impressive IT and network engineering to be seen inside. I was honestly really excited for my tour when I received an invite about a week ago. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that being excited about a brand new data center is a phenomenon strictly limited to IT professionals. Seeing endless rows of server racks, perfectly routed bundles of fiber optic cables, and all the high performance electrical and plumbing work that goes into keeping the cogs of the Information Age spinning is just damn impressive, especially when you understand the work that goes into keeping it all online. So that's why I took a few pictures, asked a few questions, and put together an article highlighting this 90,000 sq ft facility that handles IU's Netflix traffic, serves up their free software downloads, and does a few other things too. Click on any of the pictures below to view them full-size: This is the inconspicuous main entrance to the Data Center. It's the only area with windows on the whole building. Here's one of the neat data visualization tools they had in the main lobby, showing the Internet2 academic fiber backbone. The colors represent percentages of each
