How is a Data Center Built?

Firstly, the environmental requirements for data centers are quite strict! To ensure the normal operation of the equipment, we need to install suitable cooling devices, such as water cooling, natural air cooling, etc., to keep the data center running at low temperatures.

Next, the size and space of the rack are also crucial. You know what? A traditional IT rack size is 600x1000mm, while a 100 square meter data center can accommodate approximately 50 racks. So, plan the space reasonably to ensure the efficient operation of the data center.

In terms of power design, we need to calculate the maximum IT load based on the average power density of the rack, plus the power requirements of other facilities. To avoid high construction costs, adopting a modular strategy is a good choice!

Finally, don’t forget to consider the issue of power configuration. Server racks may require the deployment of DC or AC power sources, or even a combination of both. For example, a hosted data center may require an alternating current (UPS) power supply system, while telecommunications facilities may require a direct current power supply system. Reasonably configure the power supply to ensure the stable operation of the data center.
