Data Center Projects: Standardized Process
Introduction A data center construction project can be large or small, new construction or retrofit, com-
plete or partial. It can involve a change in physical room size or layout or electrical capacity,
an increase in power density, a redesign of power or cooling architecture, or any number of
other changes to the physical infrastructure of the data center. Regardless of the size or
nature of the project, essful execution depends not only upon the purchase and installa-
tion of the equipment of the physical system, but equally upon the process that pilots the
project through its development and realization, from concept missioning. Figure 1
illustrates this concept of a project as bination of a system plus the process that
creates it.
