Data Center Design

Workshop summary

Data center design requires integrating architecture, power, cooling, telecommunications, security and operational continuity into one coherent solution. This workshop explains how to turn business requirements and IT loads into verifiable engineering decisions. It examines site selection, space planning, installed capacity, redundancy and future expansion. References include TIA-942 and ISO/IEC 22237, alongside efficiency, availability and risk management principles. Participants compare technical alternatives and their effects on capital cost, operations and maintenance. Learning is supported by real-world facilities, conceptual drawings, use cases and typical project decisions. The goal is to assess, justify and document mission-critical infrastructure design.

Who should take part?

Recommended for professionals who want to strengthen design skills, move from operations into project engineering, assess supplier proposals or work as independent consultants. It also suits those responsible for investments, expansion, refurbishment and technical procurement who need to challenge design assumptions and collaborate with specialists.

Key design questions

1. How should initial capacity and growth be planned?
2. What availability target does the business require?
3. How should site risks be assessed?
4. What electrical redundancy is appropriate?
5. How should UPS, generators and distribution be sized?
6. Which cooling solution fits the IT load?
7. How should racks, aisles and cabling be arranged?
8. Which fire protection and access controls are required?
9. How can energy efficiency be built into the design?
10. How will testing and commissioning validate the design?
