What is data ?

• At the heart of every computer there is a very
  simple fact, they only understand two states, on
  and off, represented by 1 and 0, and this is
  the data that we are talking about 1s and 0s
• This switching between states is carried out by
  the electronic components within the device,
  primarily the processor, and the switches are
  called transistors.
• It is the advances in the number of switches or
  transistors a processor can manage which has led
  to the huge growth in the computer industry.
• From 2,300 transistors on Intels first processor
  to over 7,000,000,000 on some processors today.

Where is this all done?
Data Centres Can require power in excess of
200MW, thats enough to run a city of 500,000
people
These facilities are often more than 100,000 sq m
in size

What is important?

• Availability
• Energy Efficiency
• Reliability
• Resilience
• To keep these facilities operating at their best,
  we need to gather data about them.
• Measuring and monitoring everything that happens
  in a data centre is the key to providing the
  services we use.

9
Conclusion

• In todays world, just about everything we do
  generates data.
• That data is stored in Data Centres
• We totally rely on this information, so the
  facilities must be properly maintained and
  managed
• Measuring and monitoring systems to gather
  facility data is at the heart of every Data Centre
