Data Centre Essentials

Understand the design, construction and operation of data centres with this easy-to-use reference.

Data centres are spaces where computer systems, physical network technology, and associated components are housed, operated, and monitored, and any industry or business that employs computer or networked systems at any scale will interact with data centres. These centres are complex and expensive to build and operate, requiring a wide range of specialised knowledge and skills for successful project delivery. This accessible reference lays out the requirements for creating these essential facilities.

Data Centre Essentials is a comprehensive survey of the essential principles of data centre design, construction, and operation. It is designed for individuals involved in data centre projects or providing professional services to the industry but lacking technical background or deep sector experience. The non-technical language and thorough engagement with key considerations make it ideal for anyone looking to understand one of the pillars of a digital society.

Readers of Data Centre Essentials will also find:

  • An authorial team with decades of combined experience in engineering and construction consultancy
  • Detailed information about every stage in the process, including securing investment and the building process
  • A working lexicon of key data centre terminology

Data Centre Essentials is a must-own for contractors, engineers, and construction project managers involved in data centre projects. It will be invaluable for professionals such as lawyers, financial and insurance advisors, surveyors, engineers, and architects who do not necessarily have deep domain experience but find themselves involved in, or are interested in engaging with, data centre projects.
