THE INTEGRAL INFORMATION SECURITY OF DATA CENTER IN LARGE BUSSINESS ORGANIZATION

Dokument prestavlja osnovno strukturo podatkovnega centra, ki je specializiran prostor za strojno opremo informacijske tehnologije in pomemben porabnik električne energije. Cilj specialistične naloge je predstaviti osnovne zahteve za postavitev podatkovnega centra in načine optimizacije porabe električne energije podatkovnega centra, ki deluje neprekinjeno in generira pomemben del stroškov organizacije. V dokumentu so prikazani različni modeli postavitve podatkovnega centra, njegovega fizičnega prostora, načinov postavitve strojne opreme informacijske tehnologije, načini izvedbe ožičenja in modeli postavitve relevantnega sistema klimatizacije tega specifičnega prostora. Prikazana je standardizacija področja, ki opredeljuje izgradnjo podatkovnih centrov in njihovo delovanje. Predstavljene so osnove zagotavljanja energetske učinkovitosti podatkovnega centra ter podani predlogi za optimizacijo delovanja. Drugi del naloge predstavlja izvedeno anketo o energetski učinkovitosti podatkovnih centrov večjih poslovnih organizacij v Republiki Sloveniji. Anketirane so kompetentne osebe IT sektorjev organizacij, podatki so pridobljeni in obdelani iz prejetih odgovorov. Rezultati ankete izkazujejo, da so organizacije, ki imajo v lasti podatkovne centre, dobro osveščene o pojmu energetske učinkovitosti, vendar upoštevajo različne pristope k njenemu izpolnjevanju. To pomeni, da se na eni strani z energetsko učinkovitostjo zelo natančno ukvarjajo in merijo njene parametre, ali nasprotno, večjo pozornost namenjajo zanesljivosti delovanja podatkovnega centra kot stroškovni optimizaciji. Vendar se vse organizacije zavedajo, da je energetska učinkovitost pomemben faktor njihovih podatkovnih centrov in operativnih stroškovnih planov ter so si enotne, da so zmožne obstoječe stanje energetske učinkovitosti podatkovnih centrov še izboljšati.This document represents the basics for the Data center, i.e. a specialized server room for IT equipment which is very significant factor of power consumption. The objective of this analysis is to represent the main requirements needed to build a Data center following different technical methodsit is the analysis of how to achieve Green IT results, low power consumption and energy optimization which generates regular costs in every active Data center today. At the end of the analysis there is a survey of energy efficiency of Data centers of the IT sector among larger business organisations in the Republic of Slovenia. Data have been processed from information gathered from number of IT experts who have been interviewed in this process. The survey results show that organisations that have their own data centers are well informed about the concept of energy efficiencyhowever, they take into account different approaches of how to enforce it. This means that on the one hand they meet the requirements of energy efficiency. They measure its parameters or contrary to this fact, they pay greater attention to the reliability of the data center rather than implement its cost optimization. However, all of this organisations consider that energy efficiency of data centers is a significant fact of their IT policies and plan costs. What they are all have in common is that the potential of the existing state of the energy efficiency of data centers could be even more optimized
