• Typical Engineering Design Approach

• Data center designer– Specifying of efficient MEP systems – AC/DC distribution– Higher voltage distribution– Net effect of related codes

• Data center operator– Actual procurement and

implementation– Redundancy versus efficiency– Aisle containment– DCIM

Who is Responsible for Data Center Efficiency?

• IT Professionals– Server selection criteria– Coordination with operations

• Focus on Server Manufacturers– Internal component review– Nameplate data

• Butterfly effect• Revisionist history• Questions
