Modern data center infrastructure design is focused on high-density computing, superior efficiency and multi-tenancy. These latest design focuses are the direct result of increased users, increased data and much more cloud computing. The fact is that the global data center industry is exploding, with astonishing growth all over the world.
If you are considering using, or creating a data center, it is important to consider the design that you use. One of the aspects of the design that is often overlooked is renovating or building it in a current building that is located in an urban area. There are a number of unique requirements for people that are designing data centers need to understand. Using the guidelines here will help you develop a plan of action.
Make Sure You have Room to Grow
You should be able to ensure that you have enough cable to meet your current needs and for the growth that you plan to experience in the future. This means that you need to ensure that you have the cable for application speeds that you plan to use in the next 10 years.
Check Local Codes
You need to ensure that you have been compliant with all of the local codes and abandoned the cable prior to beginning your project. Abandoned cable is any type of cable that has not been terminated at both the ends and that is not marked for any future use. It is important to have this part of the process completed prior to adding your own cable. If you have excess abandoned cable, it can restrict the air flo and can cause more fuel loads if there happens to be a fire.
Check with Carriers
You need to check with the carriers to find out if the conduits that are running into the building will be able to accommodate the circuits that you are going to need. This can be quite expensive if you wind up having to pay to drill under roadways.
Using these tips, you will have a much better chance of completely a data center infrastructure design seamlessly for your needs. Contact Raritan Americas Inc to know more.
