Data Center Projects: Commissioning
Introduction When building a new data center, the owner of the data center has no guarantee that the
various physical infrastructure subsystems – power, cooling, fire suppression, security, and
management – will work together. Commissioning is the process that reviews and tests the
data center’s physical infrastructure design as a holistic system in order to assure the highest
level of reliability.
missioning is a daunting task. Since formal system operation doesn’t begin
until the system missioned, missioning team experiences intense pressure to
complete missioning process quickly. Commissioning can involve high expense and
requires staffs from different departmental disciplines to work together. For these reasons
data missioning has almost uniquely been associated with large data centers
(over 20,000 ft2 or 1,858 m2). In the recent past, many data center managers chose to roll the
dice and perform little or missioning, relying only on start-up data to
