Data Center Challenges

Posted on by lechuck park

This diagram illustrates “Data Center Challenges” by visually explaining the key challenges faced by data centers and their potential solutions.

The central red circle highlights the main challenges:

  • “No Error” – representing reliable operations
  • “Cost down” – representing economic efficiency
  • Between these two goals, there typically exists a “trade-off” relationship

The “Optimization” section on the right breaks down the cost structure:

  1. “Power Cost”:
    • “Working” – representing IT power that can be optimized through “Green Coding”
    • “Cooling” – can be significantly optimized with “Using water” (liquid cooling) technologies
  2. “Labor Cost”:
    • Personnel costs that can be reduced through automation

The middle “Digital Automation” section shows:

  • “by Data” decision-making approaches
  • “With AI” methodologies

At the bottom, the final outcome shows:

  • “win win” – upward arrows and “Optimization” indicating that both goals can be achieved simultaneously

This diagram demonstrates how digital automation leveraging data and AI can help data centers achieve the seemingly conflicting goals of reliable operations and cost reduction simultaneously.

Key Analysis of Operation Cost Diagram

This diagram illustrates the cost structure of system implementation and operation, highlighting the following key concepts:

  1. High Initial Deployment Cost: At the beginning of a system’s lifecycle, deployment costs are substantial. This represents a one-time investment but requires significant capital.
  2. Perpetual Nature of Operation Costs: Operation costs continue indefinitely as long as the system exists, making them a permanent expense factor.
  3. Components of Operation Cost: Operation costs consist of several key elements:
    • Energy Cost
    • Labor Cost
    • Disability Cost
    • Additional miscellaneous costs (+@)
  4. Role of Automation Systems: As shown on the right side of the diagram, implementing automation systems can significantly reduce operation costs over time.
  5. Timing of Automation Investment: While automation systems also require initial investment during the early phases, they deliver long-term operation cost reduction benefits, ultimately improving the overall cost structure.

This diagram effectively visualizes the relationship between initial costs and long-term operational expenses, as well as the cost optimization strategy through automation.
