Previously, the entire compute server infrastructure of Cadence was scattered
across 12 small computer rooms across three buildings in their Noida Campus. The
huge amount of efforts required to maintain and manage a scattered
infrastructure needed the move to consolidate 12 small sized server rooms into
one large data center. The inefficiencies existed not just in maintaining the
rooms but also in cooling, effective utilization and cost of creating minimum
n+1 resiliency.
Three key challenges in front of the team were ensuring uptime, scalability
and energy efficiency. And after the deployment, the team was able to overcome
all these challenges in a brilliant manner. As a result, the new datacenter is
giving them around 100% of uptime since May 2007 and the energy efficiency or
PUE (power usage effectiveness) of the datacenter is around 81%. And as far as
the scalability is concerned , the modular approach of the power backup solution
has ensured that they did not have to commission an entire UPS power backup
capacity in the beginning.
As the datacenter utilization is going up, they can accordingly add
more UPS modules hence reducing upfront capital cost and wastage of unused
resources. Not only this, but the deployment has also reduced the IT support
cost as after the deployment there is around 30% of reduction in IT Trouble
tickets. It also has reduced air-conditioning expenses and reduced network
cabling due to consolidation. And finally, it is also benefiting the
organization because of the ease of manageability.
