Data centre design considerations and components critical to operational success
Demand for high-quality hyperscale data centres across the globe has never been higher . Though the hyperscalers are leading the charge for more space , power and connectivity , large enterprise organisations are a further contributing factor . As with the hyperscalers , they recognise that high-quality purpose-designed and built data centres offer many benefits versus the alternative of operating their own self-build / managed solutions .
Both hyperscalers and enterprise customers rightfully expect their data centre partners to ensure their technology and applications are powered , cooled , protected and connected when and how they want , irrespective of geographic location . Continuous IT availability through the provision of scalable , future-proofed power and resilient critical infrastructure are prerequisites . So too are optimised energy efficiencies and industry leading PUEs and compliance with environmental , security , quality and operational regulations .
