Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology (Paperback: Illustrated: 224 pages)

Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology is a practical guide to designing a data center -- from inception through construction. This book's fundamental design principles are simple, flexible, and modular. Most important, they are based on accurate, real-world requirements and capacities -- not the conventional (but totally inadequate) approach of using square footage to determine essential capacities such as power and cooling requirements. This official Sun Microsystems BluePrint presents start-to-finish best practices for data center design. The topics covered include: capacity sizing, site selection, data center environmental considerations, network infrastructures, building code and construction considerations, hazard avoidance, and much more.
