Digital infrastructure is more critical than ever before . It ’ s key to architect around efficiency , resiliency , and security when creating data center solutions to support emerging applications and use cases .
However , not all systems are built the same for containment . So , how do you decide ?
Executive Summary
Data center design has come a long way . During initial builds , engineers didn ’ t really understand how containment worked and if it was somewhat functional ; most were happy .
Fast-forward to today . We have massive hyperscale ecosystems , multi-tenant data centers , and even edge computing operating at peak efficiency levels . Or are they ? Containment solutions are certainly not built the same . So why are some leaders transferring legacy containment architecture into new designs ? Or , even more troubling , out to the edge ?
New considerations around light exposure , heat transmission , and security are very much a concern . On security , did you know that according to the latest AFCOM State of the Data Center report , insider human threats were the number two threat to data center operations behind ransomware ?
This means that leaders in the data center space are afraid of poor designs , human errors , and faults in physical security .
This paper will review modern designs , containment systems , and where security plays a key role . �
