Data and Network Systems

Data and network systems are complex structures that enable data communication between computers, aiming to store and protect data securely. These systems represent digital environments where data is stored and shared, utilizing the vast access opportunities provided by the internet. Data and network systems also represent communication infrastructures that facilitate data transfer by efficiently sharing information and system resources among different users.

Data network systems are foundational blocks developed to ensure effective communication between two or more computers or IP-based devices. These systems operate at various levels, including local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN), allowing data to be transmitted quickly and securely. Commonly used by internet service providers, commercial hosting systems, and corporate network structures, these systems form the backbone of data communication in the modern digital world. Furthermore, through cloud computing services, they optimize data sharing and storage, offering scalable solutions based on user needs.

These systems include Local Area Networks, Wide Area Networks, Data Centers, Network Security, Network Optimization and Management, VLAN, IP Address, and Port Configuration Database Design.

Considerations for Data Center Planning:

• Exploration and Positioning: It is essential to determine the most suitable data protection system to meet the requirements. Data centers can be complex structures but can be built with modular and portable systems. A data center integrates energy, flooring, fire suppression, cooling, electricity, security, and environmental monitoring solutions to provide services. These structures are prepared for use in new locations, saving cost and time. Proper positioning and security are crucial for fixed structures.
• Energy: Redundant and continuous power supply is vital for the protection of data in data centers. The power consumed by all active devices and other components in the data center must be monitored and recorded.
• Raised Flooring: One of the critical components of a data center is the raised floor, which allows for the transportation of energy and data cables of existing servers and storage cabinets. Cable routes and other installation accesses must be flexible. The raised floor should be designed to allow changes to cabinets and other products in the room and is necessary for the cooling of active devices.
• Fire Suppression System: Fire emergencies can occur in data centers. Fire suppression systems are used to ensure data security. In case of a fire, carbon dioxide gas is pumped to control the fire, and all components are interconnected through integrated software. This integration ensures necessary precautions are taken, and the spread of fire is prevented.
• Cooling: Cooling the data center is critical for sustainability. The appropriate cooling capacity devices should be selected by calculating the heat generated by active devices. Redundancy and longevity of cooling devices can be ensured by using aging methods. High temperatures in the environment can lead to device failures and financial losses. The cooling system is crucial for energy consumption; therefore, devices offering high energy efficiency or water cooling methods should be preferred.
• Security: Devices in data centers should be categorized according to their importance, such as primary and backup devices. Authorizing IT personnel across different sections is important. Entry and exit to the data center must be approved and tracked through the system; face recognition, fingerprint, and retina scanning methods can be used in these approval processes. Emergency exit buttons and fire-resistant doors that open with impact should be used for evacuating personnel in emergency scenarios.
• Environmental Monitoring: Main components in the data center, such as energy, fire suppression, cooling, and security, are integrated through a software platform. Data centers should be continuously monitored and recorded with 24/7 camera systems. Environmental monitoring software detects adverse conditions in advance, providing warning mechanisms. Environmental monitoring systems are essential for timely intervention in cases such as power fluctuations, cooling failures, temperature increases, fire hazards, or water leaks.
