Information technology - Data centre facilities and infrastructures - Part 7: Management and operational information
ISO/IEC · ISO/IEC JTC 1
Technical Specification on data centre management and operation processes, focused on what is needed for resilience, availability, risk, capacity planning, security and energy efficiency.
On this page
Overview
ISO/IEC TS 22237-7 is a technical specification that sets out the management and operation processes of data centres. The first edition was published on 27 April 2018 (39 pages). It forms part of the ISO/IEC 22237 series and is closely related to EN 50600-3-1.
Its primary focus is the operational processes needed to deliver the expected resilience, availability, risk management and mitigation, capacity planning, security and energy efficiency. Its secondary focus is the management processes that align actual and future user demands. The document is thus a process framework for how a designed facility is run, not a set of design requirements.

Using it in design
- At operations handover, generate a capacity-planning and operations dataset (asset register, capacity headroom by power/cooling/space, maintenance windows) from the design model.
- Hand this dataset over as seed data for operational processes after commissioning.
- Model capacity headroom separately for power, cooling and space so each can be tracked.

Reframing Data Center Fire Safety as a Socio-Technical Reliability System: A Systematic Review
Ask for a fire-safety design file that covers a lifecycle plan (aligned with NFPA 75 and NFPA 76) including emergency response, damage control and post-fire recovery, not only prevention and suppression.
- The search found 806 records (Scopus 330, Web of Science 476); twelve empirical studies were synthesised and benchmarked against NFPA 75 and NFPA 76.

CFD Analysis of Data Center Hall Cooling Performance under Normal and Failure Modes with Control Strategies and Airflow Leakages
Do thermal verification of failure mode (two ACUs offline) with realistic air leakage (cabinet gaps, HAC panel joints); a leak-free model can comply while the leaky model exceeds 32 °C.
- The grid study selected 7,288,454 cells with the standard k-epsilon model and wall functions.

GRAPE-UPS: Direction-Constrained Peer Anomaly Detection for Weak Batteries in Data-Center UPS Strings
Require block-level (per-unit) voltage and resistance monitoring in UPS battery monitoring rather than string totals, citing that one weak unit in a series string limits the whole string's capacity.
- On an independent electrochemical simulation benchmark, directed peer scoring achieved AUPRC 0.848 under nominal conditions and 0.850-0.877 under operating shifts.

Dynamic Maintenance Cost Optimization in Data Centers: An Availability-Based Approach for K-out-of-N Systems
Plan UPS maintenance from a condition table that maps each unit's state to MTBF and MTTR, then pick the units to maintain that meet target availability at the lowest cost.
- Maintenance service options and costs are based on the APC Symmetra PX 500 kW UPS; the case has ten 500 kW modular UPS units.

Research on Calendar Aging for Lithium-Ion Batteries Used in Uninterruptible Power Supply System Based on Particle Filtering
Plan UPS battery replacement from the RUL of the weakest cell rather than the string average; in a series string one cell sets the replacement date for the whole string even when others have years of life left.
- Per-cell SOH estimation RMSE ranged from 0.15% to 9.07% (MAPE 0.16% to 6.85%).

Leak Detection and Intervention, Revision 1.0 (OCP Advanced Cooling Solutions white paper)
Run a probability-and-impact leak risk analysis at project start, specify BSPP/O-ring joints for serviceable connections and check the O-ring compound against the coolant chemistry using the full wetted-materials list.
