Comprehensive IDC cabling Plan Manual

There are many areas worth learning about integrated cabling planning for data centers. Here we mainly introduce the network division of Integrated cabling planning for data centers, this includes information on the internal office network of the data center management company and the demonstration and testing network of the management company. We hope to help you.

In the past few years, the development of network and storage has become faster and faster, and the security of data has become more and more important. Many enterprises cannot meet the enterprises' internal IDC size and communication lines, host servers to various hosted data centers. Currently, the number and scale of dedicated data centers are on the rise. This article briefly introduces the Integrated Wiring Plan for data centers hosted in general.

IDC Integrated Wiring Plan network division

Generally, the network systems hosting data centers can be divided into the following:
1. Data center management company internal office network
This network provides a network platform for managing the daily office and Internet access in the company. By dividing virtual networks, You can restrict Internet connections.

2. Manage the company's demo test network
This network is a demonstration platform for the management company to demonstrate its network hosting business. The network is physically isolated from the daily office network of the management company. At the same time, some areas of the network can be used as the business test and development area of the management company.

3. Hosting the customer's office network
This network provides a network platform for customers who are leasing and hosting businesses to use their daily office and Internet access, and isolates users of different companies through virtual network division.
At the same time, it provides independent external interfaces for some customers with special requirements.

4. Hosting the customer's production network
This network is the most important network in the project and can be considered in two situations:
1) The customer borrows the external line and internal wiring line of the management company.
Wiring adopts the data center wiring mode of MDA---HDA---EDA, and sets the network head cabinet according to the layout of the Cabinet in the Integrated Wiring Plan of the data room. The multi-mode 10G optical fiber cable and copper cable are laid to the network head Cabinet by the network center Data room, then, lay copper cables and optical cables to the EDA Cabinet as required.
2) The customer independently builds external lines and borrow internal wiring lines.
Some customers may require independent external channels. You can consider laying a certain number of single-mode optical cables and coaxial cables in each data center.
A certain amount of balance is reserved for the cable trays planned for the integrated cabling of each data center to meet the needs of different customers, and the cable trays must be maintained in different regions.

5. Managed Customer Development and testing network
This network is mainly used to provide network and system host testing sites for hosting customers. In principle, this network is not associated with other networks, and is separately built for each customer, and is set between integrated wiring equipment and weak current room.
The Integrated Wiring equipment room and weak current room include:
IDC name;
Purpose;
China Telecom cabling data center;
Cable access of telecom operators; (two access channels are provided );
Weak Current room;
IDF of floor distribution frame;
Communication operators access data centers/DC network data centers;
Communication operators access equipment rooms and network center equipment rooms (MDF );
Hosting users' office floor IDF;
Consider hosting the IDF of the customer's office network;
Preliminary plan for integrated wiring.

There are 4 Communication Network Access units in the data center. All access resources are centrally managed and allocated by the communication operator to the data center. For normal users in the IDC room, plan the cabling area according to the area, and configure a network column head cabinet for each area. For VIP users hosting data centers on the data center floor, a network column header cabinet is configured for each cabinet column. The network is connected to the data center and the weak current room on the data center floor to lay trunk optical cables and copper cables, and then the weak current room is switched to the network array cabinets of each customer-hosted data center, the specific quantity of copper cables is determined based on the floor area and area.

Management Company office staff and hosting customers can share a set of OA networks, which can be connected to the Internet.
In the customer's office area, each office station can be configured with four information points (3 data points and 1 voice point), one of which is used as the Office OA Network Information Point, a data point acts as the device information point of the customer's management data center area. You can connect to the Integrated Wiring Plan of the data center through a simple jumper, and a data point acts as a backup.
