Provides the fundamentals, technologies, and best practices in designing, constructing and managing mission critical, energy efficient data centers Organizations in need of high-speed connectivity and nonstop systems operations depend upon data centers for a range of deployment solutions. A data center is a facility used to house computer systems and associated components, such as telecommunications and storage systems. It generally includes multiple power sources, redundant data communications connections, environmental controls (e.g., air conditioning, fire suppression) and security devices. With contributions from an international list of experts, The Data Center Handbook instructs readers to: Prepare strategic plan that includes location plan, site selection, roadmap and capacity planning Design and build "green" data centers, with mission critical and energy-efficient infrastructure Apply best practices to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions Apply IT technologies such as cloud and virtualization Manage data centers in order to sustain operations with minimum costs Prepare and practice disaster reovery and business continuity plan The book imparts essential knowledge needed to implement data center design and construction, apply IT technologies, and continually improve data center operations.

CIBSE has published a new document in its Knowledge Series called Data centres: an introduction to concepts and design. As the volume of digital data processed and stored continues to rise worldwide, the publication provides guidance on some of the core considerations that need to be made in data centre design, from a building services viewpoint. Over recent years the way data centres are designed and engineered has gained greater importance. Industry requirements for reliability, security and sustainability, are underpinned by cost controls which make the management of data centres ever more complex. Specifically the demands for enhanced security, lower power usage because of increased electricity costs, uninterruptible power supply and new cooling techniques have gained attention. Aimed at owners, co-location developers, designers, contractors, operators and all those interested in data centre design, operation and space planning, this new publication address a wide range of themes and examines how the high levels of energy used in data centres can be minimised and operating costs reduced through expert engineering solutions.

Data centers are the backbone of the modern economy. They power everything from our social media feeds to our online shopping experiences. But data centers also consume a lot of energy, and a significant portion of that energy is used to cool the IT equipment. HVAC systems are essential for maintaining a reliable and efficient data center environment. By properly designing, operating, and maintaining HVAC systems, data center operators can help to protect IT equipment, prevent downtime, and reduce energy costs. This book is a comprehensive guide to HVAC for data centers. It covers everything from the basics of HVAC system design to the latest energy-efficient technologies. It also provides practical advice on how to operate and maintain HVAC systems for optimal performance. This book is intended for a wide range of readers, including data center operators, HVAC engineers, and anyone else who is interested in learning more about HVAC for data centers. I hope that this book will be a valuable resource for you as you work to design, operate, and maintain efficient and reliable HVAC systems for your data center. Sincerely, Charles Nehme

Sustainable design, global warming, depleting fuel reserves, energy use, and operating cost are becoming increasingly more important. These issues are even more important in datacom equipment centers for reasons such as: Large, concentrated use of energy (can be 100 times the watts per square foot of an office building). 24/7 operations have about three times the annual operating hours as other commercial properties. The intent of this publication is to provide the reader with detailed information on the design of datacom facilities that will aid in minimizing the life-cycle cost to the client and to maximize energy efficiency in a facility to align with ASHRAE's stated direction to lead the advancement of sustainable building design and operations.This book covers many aspects of datacom facility energy efficiency, including chapters on the topics of environmental criteria, mechanical equipment and systems, economizer cycles, airflow distribution, HVAC controls and energy management, electrical distribution equipment, datacom equipment efficiency, liquid cooling, total cost of ownership, and emerging technologies. There are also appendices on such topics as facility commissioning, operations and maintenance, and telecom facility experiences. The primary changes for this second edition center on the updated environmental envelope and relate to the recommended temperatures at the inlets of the equipment operating in datacom facilities. This book is the sixth in the ASHRAE Datacom Series, authored by ASHRAE Technical Committee 9.9, Mission Critical Facilities, Technology Spaces and Electronic Equipment. This series provides comprehensive treatment of datacom cooling and related subjects.
