12 Elements of a Successful Data Center Facility

Many businesses today are relying on outdated equipment and aging infrastructure to run their data centers. These aging data centers were designed in a different compute era and simply cannot meet today's power, cooling, redundancy and other technology requirements.
Consider this information when you read about the 12 keys to a successful data center facility in the SlideShare presentation below:
-
Companies should grow vertically before horizontally to reduce the amount of floor space and number of cabinets needed.
-
A higher power density reduces an organization’s overall footprint requirement.
-
The colder a data center, the higher your energy bills.
-
Maximizing return temperatures at cooling units can save 35 to 50 percent on cooling energy costs.
-
Removing one watt of power on the IT side results in almost three watts of total power savings.
