The Art of the Data Center a Look Inside the World's Most Innovative and Compelling Computing Environments

En savoir plus sur le livre

Data centers are essential to modern companies, processing billions of Internet transactions daily. Understanding cutting-edge data center design is crucial for IT organizations. While technical documents often focus on specific aspects like cooling or power usage, a comprehensive view of data center design is rare. This work provides insights into eighteen of the world's most innovative data centers, featuring interviews with their designers. The author, Douglas Alger, explores the rationale behind key design decisions and how various challenges were addressed. Notable examples include a data center in a 1920s chapel, one in an underground military bunker with artificial daylight and submarine engines for power, and the world's first all-solar data center. This book is invaluable for data center professionals involved in planning, design, or operations, while also appealing to a broader audience of IT executives and practitioners. Additionally, the Safari edition offers eight audio recordings from the author, sharing lessons learned and industry insights, with links to these recordings throughout the text.
