Welcome back, This is part 4 and the final episode of my series on picking a data center. If you haven’t seen part 1 through 3, please check them out.
Last time we talked about cooling delivery systems, Fire Suppression systems and network. So let’s jump in and start with Security then we’ll talk about add-ons and finally, negotiating a contract.
So in the last two videos we covered building your own vs. leasing colo space, different tier levels, redundancy factors, frequently used terms, facility considerations, company financials, MEP, PUE and power systems. So if you haven’t seen the first two videos, you can check them out here.
Let’s talk about cooling. This is one of the most important and challenging features of a facility. Cooling capabilities are usually what limits the amount of power consumption and density of your facility. Cooling is dependent on the amount of energy you put into the room, the volume of the room and the amount of airflow.
Are you picking a data center? Unsure of what you should be looking for? Can’t figure out what makes one data center provider better than another? Well, you came to the right place.
In the last video I talked about building your own vs. leasing colo space (spoiler don’t build your own), and we talked about what the different tier levels mean and we talked about redundancy factors as well as some frequently used terms.
