Many organizations are running out of power, cooling or physical space in their data centers. Individual tactics such as high density blade servers and storage, data center containers, modular power systems, virtualization and cloud computing all offer some potential relief to these limitations, but only when implemented appropriately.
This white paper describes the power-density paradox, and how to avoid its traps by balancing facilities capabilities with core IT needs. Such an approach can optimize the life span of your current facility or help you create a new data center optimized to meet the needs of a modern, high-density environment.
Topics include:
- Emergence of the power density paradox
- The increasing requirement for more support space
- Data center space impact at different power densities
- The need to optimize IT facilities
- Critical risks of ignoring the power paradox (higher opex, increased maintenance and system downtime)
- Solutions to optimize and balance power supply and demand
If you are trying to squeeze more capacity out of an existing data center, reduce your data center operating expense or planning your next facility, the principles covered in this white paper will help you make informed decisions while balancing the needs and concerns of IT and facilities together.
