A Corporate or Enterprise Class data center is perhaps one of the largest technical and financial investments facing corporate planners today. The stakeholders include: CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, CTOs, systems engineers, computer engineers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, fire & safety engineers, LEED engineers, and ultimately- the end users of the data center. Data center designs must meet the system requirements of the organization and its users, drive energy efficiencies, and be ecologically responsible. Cost constraints demand that the design be future-proof. Attendees will be exposed to two-year’s worth of information and lessons learned in two-days. The Action Lab will be limited to 20 participants- as a highly specialized GUI based CFD airflow modeling tool will be loaded on their laptop. An additional 20 Listeners will be permitted. No prior experience is required. Topics will start with high level management and mission decisions. These topics will be displaced by increasing technical details, concepts, and CFD modeling. We will conclude by touring a 10MW data center (MGHPCC).
