Publication of “D3.1 – Data Centre energy consumption optimization platform (eCOP) Design”

The document D3.1 focuses on the detailed design specification attaining the functionalities, interfaces and relations to the requirements of the “Data Centre energy Consumption Optimisation Platform” (eCOP). It is complemented by D4.1, which instead focuses on “Synergetic Data Centres for energy efficiency” functions, interfaces and links with requirements. Common design artefacts pertaining to both WP3 and WP4 work are presented in both deliverables D3.1 and D4.1 This document first presents the DOLFIN architecture (Section 1) as has been updated during the last few months during which the detailed architecture design processes were active. Then, a reference to the energy models that will be used in the deduction procedures related to determine real time DC status in eCOP, followed by a common WP3-WP4 part referring to interface design technologies is given in Chapter 2. Section 3 details the internal design of each eCOP module, and specifically the ICT Performance and Energy Supervisor, Energy Efficiency Policy Maker and Actuator, and the water cooling system. In general, this document explores and expands the results of previous high level architecture design deliverables produced in DOLFIN (i.e. D2.2), and further refines DOLFIN platform requirements. In particular, it is primarly focused on the following tasks:

  • ICT Performance and Energy Supervisor module
  • Energy Efficiency Policy Maker and Actuator
  • eCOP Monitor Database
  • Cooling Subsystem

Publication of “D2.2 – DOLFIN requirements and system architecture”

The deliverable D2.2 “DOLFIN requirements and system architecture” is parts of Work Package 2” within the FP7-SMARTCITIES-2013 DOLFIN project. DOLFIN aims to significantly contribute towards improving the energy efficiency of Data Centres and the stabilization of Smart Grids, across networks of Data Centres and Smart Grids, following a holistic approach. DOLFIN will model, monitor, and measure energy consumption and enable seamless, autonomic migration of Virtual Machines (VMs) between servers of the same DC or across a group of energy-conscious, synergetic DCs. The goal is to:

  • optimize the overall energy consumption by dynamically changing the percentage of active versus stand-by servers and the load per active server in a DC, and
  • stabilize the Smart Grid energy distribution, under peak load and increased demand, by dynamically changing the energy consumption/ production requirements of the local DCs.

The main purpose of this deliverable can be summarized as the presentation of the detailed description of a system architecture and of the main requirements for scenarios and use-cases related to the DOLFIN project.

Publication of “D2.1 – Business scenarios and use case analysis”

In the context of Work Package 2 “Business modelling, use cases, requirements and system architecture”, the Dolfin Consortium has released the first public deliverable “D2.1 Business scenarios and use case analysis”. The main purposes of this deliverable was to insure a comprehensive list of business scenarios and use cases related to DOLFIN project. Such a description was achieved via a workflow that is outlined in the following topics:

  • Identification of the most typical business objectives for Data Centre Operator
  • Identification of the state-of-art of the technology involving Data Centre operations and selection of the most promising technology enablers that will be used in DOLFIN framework
  • Definition of the state-of-art of business models for Data Centre Operators
  • Definition of actors involved in DOLFIN operation framework
  • Business scenario and use-cases definition
  • Data Centre Metrics and KPI relevant for DOLFIN project
  • Analysis of use-cases using the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method.

The Business scenario and the use-cases definition achieved comes from real-world considerations, taking into account the state of art of actual Data Centre technologies and business objectives, highlighting on one hand the major drawbacks of actual technologies and on the other hand the potential for the implementation of DOLFIN. The QFD analysis has been introduced to better analyse the correlations between the business objectives/problems and the technology enablers and also between the business scenarios/problem and the technology enablers, to evaluate the impact of each technology enabler to solve each problem as a business objective / scenario objective.
