MYTH #1: Data center means the same thing to everyone. We’re all speaking the same language.
Because there is no standard “Webster’s” definition of data center, the term is open to a broad degree of interpretation. A lot of consultants and vendors claim data center expertise in broad terms, but they may actually only have true expertise in a certain aspect of data center projects. And their area of expertise may not match up with the needs of a specific project. Like an actor who is miscast in a role, vendors and consultants with the wrong kind of data center expertise can damage the success of a project.
