The data center industry is going through revolutionary
changes, due to changing market conditions and technological demands;
these include the inability to secure large sums of capital dollars
to fund data center projects, the high cost of energy, and the pursuit
of a “low carbon diet,” in the wake of recent cap-and-trade legislation.
But these are not the only issues driving these transformations.
Vital new information technologies – such as cloud computing and
virtualization – force fundamental changes in the design, operation
and planning of a data center. On the other side, the data center
containerization industry (DCCI) aims to have the capital investment
associated with power and cooling infrastructure be a direct match
with computing. Even the UPS industry is in competition for the
most efficient and scalable products, with containerized power and
cooling solutions to consider. Having a firm design foundation that
can adapt to change is paramount to a facility’s success.
