In the development of cloud providers, not only the types of services they provide play a significant role, but also fault tolerance to service failures. It is important for a cloud service provider to prepare and configure the server and service for fault-tolerant operation so that the customer works with a high degree of readiness and reliability in the system allocated to him. To prepare such a server, it is very important to think carefully about the architecture of the virtual machine, on which all the necessary means of data exchange and integration for the operation of the service will be installed, and protection against network threats that can disrupt the server's performance will be configured. The purpose of the work is to create a virtual machine architecture protected from network threats, which provides customers with access to the iTOP CMDB system. Despite the fact that there can be any number of customers, the iTOP CMDB system should be provided to each customer with its own version, which he can administer. The user can log in using an Internet browser by entering the name of his organization as a domain. The authors present a demonstration of the iTOP CMDB system, which is located on a virtual machine protected from network threats.

The article provides a solution to the problem of optimizing air ducts with a rectangular cross-section for ventilation and air conditioning systems. Based on the use of the methodology for optimizing air ducts according to the above costs, the optimal proportions of the sides of the rectangular cross-section of the duct are determined, depending on the amount of material costs for the duct device and the cost indicators of its operation. The obtained optimal aspect ratios of the cross sections of the ducts are universal and do not depend on the location of the duct relative to the system fan. These conditions allow, at the design stage of the ventilation system, to assess the degree of optimality of the decisions made on the choice of the dimensions of the cross-sections of the ducts and, if necessary, to make appropriate changes to the design solutions of the ventilation system. The obtained optimality conditions allow them to be included in the calculation programs of the air.

The article presents an overview of the current situation in the field of energy saving of the Russian Federation. Topical issues of energy efficiency control of buildings and structures as an energy saving tool are considered. The proposed approach allows, while maintaining the General ideology of SP 50.13330.2012 "Thermal protection of buildings", to modify the scale of energy efficiency of buildings and structures, to make it comparable with similar scales adopted in leading European countries. A similar approach to solving this problem is implemented in order to move from the percentage deviation of the level of heat loss (from some basic value) directly to the specific level of these heat losses per unit area. The formula allowing to calculate both normalized and actual value of heat energy consumption for heating and ventilation of buildings is deduced. In the future, the above-mentioned formula is transformed into a formula that takes into account engineering solutions, both with a direct-flow ventilation system and with the use of a recuperative heat exchanger.

The strength, deformability and width of the opening of normal cracks of prototypes 220, section 12.5x25 (h) cm, reinforced with composite canvases and laminates of different cross-sectional areas, made on the basis of glass and carbon plastics, are compared. The samples had working reinforcement, represented by 2Ø14А600, transverse - with double-section clamps Ø5В500, installed with a pitch of 100 mm. Samples were loaded with two concentrated forces applied in thirds of the span. With composite reinforcement, the appearance of the external composite reinforcement was varied, as well as the presence or absence of U-shaped anchoring clamps glued to the supporting sections of the beams. It has been established that the greatest reinforcing effect is provided by composite materials based on carbon fibers, in which the modulus of elasticity is comparable to the modulus of elasticity of steel.

The article deals with the issues related to the study of aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the two layout solutions of mechanical ventilation and air conditioning systems - with the placement of the fan before and after the heater. Based on the use of graphoanalytic method of studying the parameters of the fan in the ventilation network, the dependences determining the aerodynamic and energy characteristics of the systems in three characteristic modes of their operation - at ambient temperatures equal to the design, the average temperature of the heating period and +8 ° C are obtained. The obtained dependences indicate that the installation of the air heater after the fan allows to increase the level of energy efficiency of the system in comparison with the placement of the air heater in front of the fan in the cold period of the year under the thermally unsteady operation of the supply ventilation system.
