Designing a data center professionally and complying with the standards can be very complex and depend on the needs and scale of use of the company or organization. For this reason, here are a few key points and general standards that are important for data center design:

  • 1. Location:
  • The data center should be located in a safe and easily accessible place. It is usually placed in places far from earthquake-prone, flood-prone areas and vulnerable to power failure.
  • Building height and earthquake standards must be observed.
  • 2. Physical Infrastructure
  • Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) to ensure stable power supply and sufficient time to complete operations.
  • Air conditioning systems to maintain proper temperature and humidity in the data center.
  • Suitable fire extinguishing systems to maintain safety and prevent fires.
  • 3. Security
  • Access management and physical control to the data center.
  • Limiting access to authorized people and enabling access to user needs.
  • 4. Device Management
  • Management of devices and servers must be done carefully and there is also a need for regular backup and monitoring of devices and servers.
  • 5. Networking
  • The design of internal networks and Internet connection must be done in a secure and high-performance manner.
  • Using advanced network equipment and monitoring facilities to control network traffic.
  • 6. Storage
  • Design and implementation of safe and highly reliable storage systems.
  • 7. Support
  • Creating periodic support and maintenance programs to maintain the optimal performance of the data center.
These points are only a few of the crucial aspects of data center design and can be considered in a more complete and comprehensive way depending on the scope of use and organizational needs. To design a professional data center and to ensure the selection of appropriate standards, it is better to consult with the relevant experts at AfraNetwork.
