_Enterprise Data Center Design and Methodology_ is a practical guide to designing 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 capacities like power and cooling requirements.
In addition to providing sound design advice, this Sun BluePrints book 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.
This book contains the following chapters:
* Chapter 1, _Datacenter Design Philosophy_
* Chapter 2, _Datacenter Design Criteria_
* Chapter 3, _Designing a Datacenter_
* Chapter 4, _Determining Datacenter Capacities_
* Chapter 5, _Site Selection_
* Chapter 6, _Implementing a Raised Floor_
* Chapter 7, _Power Distribution_
* Chapter 8, _HVAC and Other Environmental Controls_
* Chapter 9, _Network Cabling Infrastructure_
* Chapter 10, _Shipping, Receiving, and Staging_
* Chapter 11, _Avoiding Hazards_
* Chapter 12, _Environmental Contaminants_
* Chapter 13, _Codes and Construction_
