a new white paper from global provider of data center Schneider Electric - management specialist energy and automation, describes how good preparation process and can "quickly and safely" mitigate the impact of emergencies and help prevent their recurrence
Schneider Electric white paper - # 217, entitled :. "How to prepare and respond to emergency data centers," describes a framework for an effective strategy organized in three categories :. emergency response procedures, emergency drills and incident management
217 White Paper would examine each in detail categories and offer proactive considerations for the management of the data center during the planning phase. emergency response procedures include:
- Operational measures - to deploy in the event of a crisis that isolate faults and restore safely Service
- a crisis management Plan (CMP) - which is a detailed step by step procedure to follow when an emergency strikes
- Escalation procedures -. , which are documented, priority contact lists describing internal contact requirements for specific situations related to the operation of data centers
- Emergency Drills -. , which should be developed in advance and scheduled to occur regularly, guide operators through what to do. to counter the 10 identifiable operational risks
incident management described in this white paper include:
- incident reporting - a process to notify the right people about safe and mission critical event
- identification and reporting of incidents -. ensures that all incidents are reported as soon as the situation is stabilized and a brief summary of the incident prepared for circulation to appropriate personnel
- failure analysis -. , which is a comprehensive program to determine the root cause of any incident that has led to shutdown or injury, or was likely to do so.
Communication and speed in response to emergencies can significantly reduce the risk of operations caused by incidents. The recommendations of the White Paper focus strongly on the need for preparation to anticipate problems before they occur, taking appropriate early action when they do and communicate lessons learned from each incident so that the worst effects not repeated.
To effectively respond to different types of risk and crisis in data centers , organizations must act quickly and know what to expect in an unexpected situation. adequate operational methodology would avoid common mistakes and a good level of preparation for emergencies, which includes those processes and systems, would help operators manage their facilities in a more predictable and efficient.
