DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant):This application proposes to create a new energy-efficient Data Center that will house, power, cool, network, and safeguard the rapidly expanding high-performance computing and data storage systems that are essential to the research of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (servers and storage hardware are not part of this proposal). The proposed Data Center project is a critical renovation that will improve research productivity in virtually all research programs at the Hutchinson Center, an institution with more than 2800 employees, including 200 faculty and 400 trainees, who work to understand, treat, and prevent cancer and other human diseases. We are rapidly reaching a point when the burgeoning amount of research data generated by our scientists -- particularly those involved in data-intensive projects such as cancer genomics, genome-wide association studies, the application of proteomics to cell biology and discovery of early biomarkers of cancer, and mathematical modeling of epidemics and protein structure -- will exceed our capacity to cool and safeguard that data. To eliminate severe IT-infrastructure constraints on research, we propose a major alteration of 4,806 gsf to create a 389-kW consolidated Data Center. The new facility will increase the capacity of the Hutchinson Center data-center core facilities by more than 50% and consolidate six of nine current data- center spaces into a single Data Center. Modular design will permit expansion of data handling capacity to meet projected needs into 2017. Consolidation will greatly improve energy efficiency, operational efficiency and our ability to monitor the safety of research data. The state-of-the-art hot-air/cold-air separation design for the project maximizes cooling capacity, a current limitation in data-center capacity. The design also takes advantage of local temperate climate for additional energy savings. Auxiliary goals for the new Data Center are better space utilization and more efficient operational management. Furthermore, the new Data Center will enable disaster recovery of 1 Petabyte of data, which we project for FY2013, by creating a redundant storage infrastructure. The resulting increases in research capacity, throughput, and energy-efficiency provided by new Data Center will catalyze numerous Hutchinson Center research advances in cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请建议创建一个新的节能数据中心，该数据中心将容纳、供电、冷却、联网并保护快速扩展的高性能计算和数据存储系统，这些系统对Fred哈钦森癌症研究中心的研究至关重要（服务器和存储硬件不属于本建议的一部分）。拟议的数据中心项目是一项重要的革新，将提高哈钦森中心几乎所有研究项目的研究生产力，该中心拥有2800多名员工，包括200名教师和400名实习生，他们致力于了解，治疗和预防癌症和其他人类疾病。我们正在迅速达到这样一个点，即我们的科学家产生的研究数据迅速增加，特别是那些参与数据密集型项目的科学家，如癌症基因组学、全基因组关联研究、蛋白质组学在细胞生物学中的应用、癌症早期生物标志物的发现，以及流行病和蛋白质结构的数学建模，将超过我们冷却和保护这些数据的能力。为了消除IT基础设施对研究的严重限制，我们建议对4，806 gsf进行重大改造，以创建一个389 kW的整合数据中心。新设施将使哈钦森中心数据中心核心设施的容量增加50%以上，并将现有九个数据中心空间中的六个整合为一个数据中心。模块化设计将允许扩大数据处理能力，以满足2017年的预计需求。整合将大大提高能源效率、运营效率和我们监控研究数据安全性的能力。该项目采用最先进的热空气/冷空气分离设计，最大限度地提高了冷却能力，这是目前数据中心容量的一个限制。该设计还利用了当地的温带气候，以节省更多的能源。新数据中心的辅助目标是更好的空间利用率和更高效的运营管理。此外，新的数据中心将通过创建冗余存储基础设施，实现我们预计在2013财年实现的1 PB数据的灾难恢复。新数据中心提供的研究能力、吞吐量和能源效率的增加将促进哈钦森中心在癌症和其他危及生命的疾病方面的许多研究进展。
