U.K. DATA CENTRE, LINLITHGOW, SCOTLAND
With Oracle personnel managing Oracle platforms that are running Oracle applications, the
Linlithgow Data Centre (LLG) offers a level of integration and performance that only Oracle can
deliver.
LLG has been specifically built to provide high levels of resilience, availability, and security designed
to ensure that Oracle On Demand customers benefit from cloud computing services that they can
depend on.

Carrier-specific routers
•
10GbE backbone infrastructure
•
Network-based Intrusion Detection and Prevention Service
•
Major fibre carrier cable infrastructure situated close to site
Electrical System—Keeping Your Services Up and Running
LLG has a fully redundant, N+1 electrical power system. In the event of a power outage, multiple
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) and multiple generators provide fully redundant backup power
sources.
•
Two 11 kV active utility feeds to 1600 kVA transformers, dual utility switchgear with failover
capability
•
Four 500 kVA diesel backup generators, with N+1 redundancy
•
Two pairs of multi-module, fully redundant (N+1) UPS
•
Dual 1600 kVA transformer/dual feed static switch Power Distribution Units (PDU)
•
Diverse A & B UPS power provided to all racks
ORACLE DATA SHEET
Environmental Control—Maintaining the Ideal Environment
The cooling system uses N+1 redundancy designed to eliminate single points of failure. In addition,
when the external temperature is below 14oC, free cooling coils enable the chillers to cool the room
and reduce electricity consumption.
•
Three 250 kW chillers—to permit a 500 kW rated room with N+1 capability
•
Computer Room Air Conditioner (CRAC) units in infrastructure room provide N+1 capability
•
CRAC units combined across the full room can collectively run at 500 kW
•
Dual closed chiller loops permit dual pipe failover to all CRAC units
•
Cold Aisle Containment systems—to boost energy efficiency
Fire Detection and Suppression—Providing Early Detection and Segmented Response
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA) system sensors are located throughout LLG. Fire
detection and suppression is segmented into multiple areas. A gas-based fire suppression system
uses FM-200 (HFC-227ea) clean chemical agent to absorb heat from the fire so that combustion
cannot continue.
•
Early detection
•
Multi-area, segmented response
•
Gas-based fire suppression
Leak and Humidity Detection—Preventing Water Damage
The raised floor area of the data centre includes a water leak detection system to help prevent water
damage to any of the computer hardware.
•
Alarm sounds at the remote central monitoring station
•
Humidity level is sampled at every other CRAC unit
•
Alerts are triggered if humidity level goes above or below thresholds
Standards—Embracing Globally Recognized Practices
