In November 2006, Gartner, Inc. forecast that by 2008, 50 percent of current data centers would have insufficient power and cooling capacity to meet the demands of high-density equipment. In the next five years, more than 50 percent of large enterprises will face a shortage of data center floor space.
In short, data center requirements worldwide are rapidly increasing, fueling a demand for new "greenfield" or upgraded facilities with energy-efficient power and cooling technologies and modern, spacesaving layouts that provide operational continuity.
In this white paper, read how to meet the challenge of designing and operating mission-critical data centers in an era of constrained resources.
