Chris Yetman, our chief operating officer, explains it this way: \u201cYou\u2019re building out more capacity than you need so that you can suffer any failure and still continue to operate.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Redundancy can take the form of n + 1, where n is the number of components necessary to run the system and 1 is the number of redundant components, n +2, 2n, and so on. The intensity of your approach depends both on the importance of the component you\u2019re replicating and on the importance of continuity to your business.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a software development business might opt for lower redundancy levels, because downtime doesn\u2019t have a catastrophic effect on the business. But for a SaaS company, an ecommerce company, or a storage provider, even a few minutes of downtime are a disaster\u2014to their service and to their reputation\u2014so redundancy levels will be higher.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Untested redundancy is not redundant<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s the thing about redundancy: Building it into your design is only half the process. The other half is testing\u2014regular, comprehensive testing\u2014not only of your redundant components but of your entire system, to ensure that everything works together as planned.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, data centers don\u2019t test redundancy as often as they should. \u201cMany times in our industry,\u201d Chris says, \u201cpeople build beautifully well-engineered redundant systems. But once they\u2019re running, they\u2019re afraid to mess with them, because the downtime associated with making a mistake is huge.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That fear is understandable\u2014after all, the last thing a data center wants to do is tell its customers that downtime was a result of an internal mistake\u2014but it\u2019s also a problem. \u201cIf you don\u2019t test redundancy,\u201d Chris says, \u201cwhen you need it, it\u2019s not going to be there.\u201d That\u2019s because over time, any electrical or mechanical system inevitably wears down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chris points to a common situation. \u201cSay the power goes out and everything works. But actually, what\u2019s keeping everything working is that one of your redundant components has kicked in. If you don\u2019t know that, you just went from redundancy to non-redundancy.\u201d In other words, your center might still be functional, but your redundancy isn\u2019t\u2014and the next time you have an incident, you\u2019re going down.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, if you\u2019re actively testing redundancy and you have a failure, you benefit in two ways. First, you\u2019re still running, because you\u2019ve got your n components in place; and second, now you understand which redundant component didn\u2019t work, and you can fix it. That\u2019s why we\u2019re always testing redundancy at Vantage\u2014and we do it aggressively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFinding a problem is a good thing,\u201d Chris says. \u201cThat means, later on, it\u2019s not going to bite us in the butt.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>The problem with 5 nines<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some data centers promise 99.999% uptime, also known as \u201c5 nines.\u201d That translates to 5.26 minutes of downtime per year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat sounds really cool, right?\u201d Chris says. \u201cBut when you\u2019re running a 6-megawatt load with 20,000 servers, or even a 3-megawatt load with 10,000, do you know what happens when you unplug all those servers at once? Your life gets very miserable very quickly.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s because it takes many hours, and many people, to get the servers booted back up and working appropriately. \u201cWith a disruption like that, it never comes back cleanly,\u201d Chris says. \u201cSo you have dozens of engineers and admins crawling through thousands of servers, verifying whether or not the services are online, figuring out which ones aren\u2019t, trying to understand why, and then correcting all the failures. \u201c<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Far better than 5 nines? Never having any downtime at all. And at Vantage, that\u2019s what we offer customers who opt for high levels of redundancy. For example, in a 2n redundant configuration, with an A-side system and a B-side system and power distribution from both sides, there\u2019s a 100% uptime guarantee. \u201cWhat we\u2019re saying is that you\u2019re not going to go down\u2014ever,\u201d Chris says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How can we be so confident? Because of all the maintenance and the testing that we do. And if the system <em>were<\/em> to fail\u2014anything, after all, is possible\u2014the SLA agreement kicks in, and we refund some of your money. \u201cThat\u2019s a commitment that shows that we\u2019re willing to accept pain for not having done the job correctly,\u201d Chris says.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Why failures happen\u2014and how to make sure they don\u2019t<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes our customers call us and tell us that another data center they\u2019re in has had a power blip, or maybe it\u2019s even gone down in a storm. Most of the time, those situations are the result of a failure to test redundancy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMaybe they had three or four generators, and they only needed two\u2014but they haven\u2019t tested them in four or five years,\u201d Chris says. \u201cThey haven\u2019t done monthly runs, they haven\u2019t checked to see how well they start, and they haven\u2019t transferred load. Maybe all the generators <em>did<\/em> start, but the transfer switch that moves a load from the street over to the generator failed. In that case, you have beautifully running generators but no way to move the power from the generator to the building\u2014because the ATS, or the automatic transfer switch, failed. And you didn\u2019t know it failed, because you didn\u2019t test it.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Vantage, we test whether or not that ATS is working by turning on our generators and moving power from the street to the generators using that ATS switch. If it fails, we still have the UPS systems for our customers, which holds up the load. And now we know something crucial: That automatic transfer switch is broken. \u201cThat is excellent. It\u2019s fantastic,\u201d Chris says. \u201cBecause now we know.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><strong>Customization down to the rack<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And at Vantage, we want our customers to get the level of redundancy that is appropriate for their needs\u2014so we\u2019ve configured our data centers to allow for a granular level of customization.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One way we look at it is through the lens of concurrent maintainability. That\u2019s the idea that you can maintain a piece of equipment without taking down service. By default, our redundancy is built in to be concurrently maintainable, but you purchase extra equipment to make that work. And that equipment also has to be maintained. And both of those things raise the cost.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a customer doesn\u2019t need that level of redundancy, we can leave it out of a build. That lowers our costs, and we can in turn offer a lower rate to the customer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the time, we can reduce redundancy with electrical equipment and not, for example, cooling, because the cooling load has to be maintained at a certain level for the system to function. A more typical scenario is that a customer will opt out of two UPSs or a redundant power feed.<\/p>\r\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Best Way to Ensure Consistency Redundancy, at its core, is simple: It\u2019s a design concept in which, for any component, you build more than&#8230;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2107,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[229,233],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-center-operation","category-editors-picks"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>If Your Data Center Isn\u2019t Testing Redundancy, It Isn\u2019t Redundant - Data Centers Today | Vantage Data Centers<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you thinking about redundancy when you think about your data center design?
