Increase uptime with redundant automation design
)
Challenge
As critical infrastructure, data centers are expected to run 24/7 without downtime. Even if a critical component fails or requires maintenance, operations must continue to uphold services.
Solution
Siemens reference architectures embed redundancy into control & automation systems, communication protocols, and integration points across EPMS and BMS to meet different availability and compliance goals in data centers of any size and Tier classification.
REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE I: Fault-tolerant DDC-based BMS architecture for Tier IV
Ideal for high-availability Tier IV data centers requiring 24/7 uptime, concurrent maintenance and redundant power and cooling paths to ensure uninterrupted IT operations and peak performance.
REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE II: Redundant PLC-based architecture with remote connection
Ideal for Tier IV data centers demanding the highest fault tolerance, full redundancy, and resilience to multiple simultaneous failures to ensure continuous, mission-critical IT operations.
REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE III: EPMS fault-tolerant design for HV/MV substations
Ideal for data centers requiring fault-tolerant EPMS and high-availability HV/MV substations to guarantee reliable, uninterrupted power supply.
REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE IV: Fault-tolerant design with hybrid automation
Ideal for data centers needing fault-tolerant hybrid automation with either a split BMS and EPMS for brownfield upgrades or an integrated system for greenfield builds.
