Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology is a practical guide to desinging a data center from inception through construction. The fundamental design principles take a simple, flexible, and modular approach based on accurate, real world requirements and capacities . This approach contradicts the conventional (but totally inadequate) method of using square footage to determine basic capacieis like power and cooling requirements

In addition to providing sound design advice, the BluePrint provides information about a wide range of topics including capacity sizing, site selection, data center environmental considerations, network infrastructures , building code and construction considerations, and hazard avoidance . If you are building a new data center, are retrofitting an existing one, or are working in a data center and simply want a better understanding of these complex environments, you will find this book to be a valuable resource.
