Data Center Projects Push the Edge of the Possible
Data centers continue to evolve, and the edge is being pushed on how large or small a data center can be built. While a data center's design can be argued as the key to success, history has shown that the project, encapsulating conceptualization to first day operation, can be the primary factor between success and failure.
The Essentials of Data Center Projects (EDCP), 2nd edition, contains a holistic view of the overall data center project, from conceptualization to planning, implementation, and project closeout.
Recently updated to include edge data centers and risk management, the EDCP 2nd edition provides the underlying knowledge necessary for all data centers great and small in the following areas:
- Data Center Concepts
- Initial determination of need and availability classes
- Availability using multiple data centers
- Edge data centers
- Project Planning
- Project planning
- Design planning
- Operations and business continuity factors
- Colocation and edge facility planning
- Project Implementation
- Pre-construction
- Project implementation and installation
- Commissioning and closeout
- Project Management Essentials
- Project Documentation
- Risk Management
