Estudo de requisitos para datacenters e salas industriais para sistemas de tecnologia e automação

Abstract

Within the industrial environment it is of evident importance that the environment in which technology systems (such as servers, switches, routers) and automation systems (such as PLCs) are properly supported, to avoid impacts due to infrastructure problems, such as lack of energy, failure in HVAC systems (generating higher temperatures than recommended for this equipment). To prevent these problems, the industries may have several equipment and systems to protect and monitor these rooms. However, there is no standard in Brazil establishing models to be followed on this subject so that a technology room or a Datacenter has an adequate availability for the systems supported on it, and even outside Brazil, the standardization may not be adequate to the particularities from different countries and add some that may not be significant for others. Establishing standards for these rooms bring a significant benefit to industries, since these are increasingly using technologies for their production, security, and emergency systems, thus requiring maximus availability, while other rooms may only support small complexity systems and/or that do not have the same criticality for the company, therefore they do not need such a high level of availability.
