Description
Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology is a practical guide
to designing a data center from inception through construction. The fundamental
design principles take a simple, flexible, and modular approach based on
accurate, real-world requirements and capacities. This approach contradicts the
conventional (but totally inadequate) method of using square footage to
determine basic capacities like power and cooling requirements.
In addition to providing sound design advice, this BluePrint provides
information about a wide range of topics including capacity sizing, site
selection, data center environmental considerations, network infrastructures,
building code and construction considerations, and hazard avoidance. If you are
building a new data center, are retrofitting an existing one, or are working in
a data center and simply want a better understanding of these complex
environments, you will find this book to be a valuable resource.
