At a recent DCIM seminar hosted by nLyte Software, RF Code, and Server Technology, guest moderator Bruce Taylor, vice president of the Uptime Institute (part of the 451 Research Group) referenced the Institute’s 2012 Survey results
Today’s data centers are no longer just enablers to the business; they can often provide corporations with competitive advantages and are the under-pinnings to corporate success.
In today’s complex data center environment, operators must continuously juggle multiple integrated mechanical, electrical, and data systems to minimize the risk of critical failure.
Design collaboration between the owner/operator and the electrical and mechanical engineers in the design and construction processes of two large Sabey Data Center Campuses—one in East Wenatchee, WA, and the other in Ashburn,VA—was key to the success of the projects.
Building an efficient data center requires significant analysis of a number of factors, including the number and type of servers needed, expected power usage, cooling requirements, airflow design, footprint, layout, cabling paths, and more.
