About Data Centres
Known as the server farm or the computer room, the data center is where the majority of an enterprise servers and storage are located, operated and managed.
White space:
This typically refers to the usable raised floor environment measured in square feet (anywhere from a few hundred to a hundred thousand square feet). For data centers that don’t use a raised floor environment, the term ‘white space’ may still be used to show usable square footage.
Support infrastructure:
This refers to the additional space and equipment required to support data center operations — including power transformers, your uninterruptible power source (UPS), generators, computer room air conditioners (CRACs), remote transmission units (RTUs), chillers, air distribution systems, etc. In a high-density, Tier 3 class data center (i.e. a concurrently maintainable facility), this support infrastructure can consume 4-6 times more space than the white space and must be accounted for in data center planning.
IT equipment:
This includes the racks, cabling, servers, storage, management systems and network gear required to deliver computing services to the organization.
Operations:
The operations staff assures that the systems (both IT and infrastructure) are properly operated, maintained, upgraded and repaired when necessary. In most companies, there is a division of responsibility between the Technical Operations group in IT and the staff responsible for the facilities support systems.
