Ten tips for data center site selection

Written By anfaku01 on Friday, July 1, 2011 | 5:28 AM

1. the data processing centre must be located on a stable geography. The choice (or buildings) data centre is located in a floodplain or a tectonic fault that regularly generates earthquakes is not such a good idea. Most of New Orleans, for example, is a few feet below sea level, the public found during Hurricane Katrina. As global warming continues to stimulate World Weather "heat engine", the Tornado would become more serious, leading to the construction of the bunker or similar objects, or data processing centers in such areas will be placed safely underground.

2. in view of today's terrorist threat, plopping down such computer object among major cities is not such a good idea. After the international telecommunications company named Interoute Telecom fell two terrorist attacks (the Irish Republican Army blew up one of their buildings in the Docklands area housing a huge Ericsson AXE10 telecom go area-which continues to run, and then the company lost its New York Office in 9/11 catastrophe) of the company founders, Simon Taylor and Nick Razey, decided to go into business data center. They noticed that many enterprises of New York transferred data centers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and various other relatively distant points. So when they founded the next generation of data and built the largest data Centre Europe, 750 000 square feet of NGD Europe (also known as NGD1), it is located near London, Wales, where property was inexpensive and abundant electrical power.

3. make sure that you are creating a computational relationship where there are substantial tax benefits. The United States and local authorities to offer all kinds of incentives for data center operations, even set up a programme of incentives, providing partial or even full exemption of sales/use taxes on equipment, construction materials and perhaps even electricity and backup costs.

4. in the face of skyrocketing demand from users you want to the data center, which offers a fiber-optic tubes, simultaneously connected to multiple carriers. ("Carrier neutral" collocation facility.)

5. it must also be your optical tube to maintain redundancy in the event of a disaster, and download a variety of ways to distribute traffic data.

6. your building must be a number of emerging population: China, Singapore, etc. it is not absolutely necessary, but it is good to reduce the number of "hops" to clients and with it the ability to disconnect and long delays in signalling back and forth. Silicon Valley covers some of the world's largest technology companies (Apple, Cisco, Google, HP, Intel, etc.), as well as top universities. This is not surprising that data center construction boom in the region, with the market, measuring more than 5 million square feet of space an object as a mid-2011.

7. do not place or select Center in the vicinity of the production of other companies, storage or transport of hazardous materials. New Jersey chemical coast "is one such example.

9. do not select a data centre, located in the flight path of major airport. (Once in a blue moon, they are falling and boom.)

10. keep your racks and computers from the basement of a building, or anyone else 's, for that matter. Secondary computing and storage shall be safely distant and not less than the population, which can cause problems (set fires, and floods, sprinkler went off, and so on).

Now go ahead and calculate!
