TAB Atrium
Thank you for your help so far…• We have begun Phase 1 of our construction
Moving a 30-ton cooling capacity roof top unit on Saturday, February 16

Where were we before this journey began?
• Physical Servers: 409
• Virtual Servers: 93• All “old” architecture going to Quad
switches• Prior to fiber optic “New Architecture” and
TSSDC as additional Data Center
Data from May 2011Does not include HPC or Storage
We made progress along the way…
• Physical Servers: 291
• Virtual Servers: 288 (combined TAB/TSS)• “New Architecture” in place• “Old Architecture” still exists for many
things
Data from May 2012Does not include HPC or Storage
Where are we now in TABDC?
• Physical Items: 210• 55 in “New Architecture”• 155 in “Old Architecture”
• Of those, 80 are slated for retirement or virtualization
• Virtual Servers: 285 (plus 185 in TSSDC)• 239 in “New Architecture”
• 46 in “Old Architecture”*
Data from January 2013Does not include HPC or Storage
What does that look like graphically?

Construction Timeline
• Roof, electrical, floor work all underway now on Left Side
• Current Stage = Demolition• Construction crews on hand next several
Saturdays to minimize disruptions during normal working hours
• Communications to inhabitants of TAB on a bi-weekly basis with look ahead for major milestones
11
IT Timeline• Current construction timeline is 4 weeks to move
everything from Right side to Left side once we are delivered a completed Phase 1. Target late June.
• 4-6 weeks prior, we hope to have shared access to install cabinets and cabling, burn in new equipment (May 1-June 15). Split redundant network during this time*
• Target date for Retirements and Re-IP = April 30– Months of May and June are filled with obstacles due to
Academic calendar
12
Targets for end of Phase 1• 210“items” to move: Servers, Storage, Network, HPC,
Mainframe• First pass discussion, Technology Services identified:
– 52 items that could be retired outright
– 28 items that could be virtualized
– 55 items that are already “New Architecture” and can move easily
– 10 items for Storage (actual size 6+ cabinets)
• Leaves 68 items that need to be Re-IP’ed into “New Architecture”
13
Why?
• All equipment is being re-racked into new standardized racks. – Minimizing number of items to move or addressing
beforehand means we can meet our 4-week window.
• Knowing what is going where allows us to plan our equipment purchases for networking and allocate power efficiently.
