Data Center Infrastructure- An Inside Perspective
The data center infrastructure market is
projected to grow from USD 5.111 Billion in 2023 to USD 18.57 billion by 2032,
exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.50% during the forecast
period (2023 - 2032). Data centers are chief components of most organizations’
business strategies. Cloud-based developers and managed service providers
require rich connectivity options, which can only be offered by a data center
infrastructure. Data center infrastructure, simply put, is core
physical/hardware-based components and resources such as all IT equipment and
technologies & infrastructure devices, which includes a data center. This
is modeled as well as identified in the design plan, which entails a complete
list of essential infrastructure components that are used for creating a data
center.

Functionalities of Data Center Infrastructure
A data center infrastructure is in great demand
owing to these top functionalities,
- Data
Collection - First and foremost, it helps to gather all information in
real-time such as circuit capacities, thermal and cooling data, data
center layout, power equipment, racks, and HVAC.
- Seamless
Integration - The data center infrastructure offers seamless integration
of every component as it has a circuit, storage, and power equipment made
by different vendors.
- Power-Driven
Change Control - It is vital for a data center infrastructure to handle
day to day control changes and maintenance for a successful data center
operation.
- Centralized
Control - Irrespective of how elaborate the interface of different DCIM
tools is, it is must to offer the managers and operators with an effective
central data center control dashboard that has complete alerts, and
generated post gathering, filtering, and analyzing different data.
Thereafter, the actions and alerts are picked up or configured from a
ready list.
- Visualization
- A data center infrastructure must provide graphic visualization for that
complete management and monitoring of every domain comprising the
facilities, systems, and networking equipment.
- Power
Management - A modern data center infrastructure helps a data center
operator to plan everything as per the actual power usage.
- Metrics
and Reporting - A data center infrastructure works wonders in offering
simplified reporting and metrics.
- Capacity
Planning and Provisioning- Last, but not the least, a data center
infrastructure also ensures capacity planning and provisioning.
Eco-Friendly Data Center Infrastructure Is In
This is an era where people are in favor of things
that are eco-friendly, which causes minimal or no harm to the environment.
Taking this into consideration, environmentalists are also implementing data services.
These data centers, of late, has gained immense popularity, and below are some
of the reasons why,
- Bid
Adieu to Redundancy - First and foremost, organizations setting up these
centers are bidding adieu to redundant stuff chiefly because they do not
use redundant cooling and heating systems & circuits.
- Energy-Efficiency
- The good news is that a data center infrastructure has brought the idea
of energy-efficiency to life. Companies using these data centers are
making the utmost of power systems and appliances that are
energy-efficient.
- Recycle
- Servers can be recycled, which most people are unaware of. An array of
organizations has implemented this technique already.
- Virtualization
- Through virtualization, one can get away with unused servers. It helps
to free some space.
Common Errors Operators Make
A data center is accountable for offering backend
support to several data communication and mobile services. But if poorly
trained officials run a data center, the situation is likely to be ugly. Take a
look at some common errors which operators often make at the time of designing
infrastructure as well as performing data center operations.
- Considering
the Total Ownership Cost - It is vital for a data center managing company
always to calculate the cost in its entirety that is needed to manage the
premises’ operation, which is not taken care of, unfortunately.
- Overstuffing
data centers - A data center infrastructure should never be overstuffed
with all probable networking components. Due to wrong planning, the
purchase manager may end up purchasing resources that may lie idle.
- One
size fits all - The common design of one data center cannot fit all and
may fail to offer results with the change in needs and conditions. This
needs to be specially designed after resource planning. In fact, for any
data center, it is the flexibility that acts as the key.
- Hiring
Poorly Trained Workforce - All that a data center needs is the best of
both experience and expertise. This, if left in the hands of an amateur,
can result in immense loss. So it should always be given to people after
complete examination and thorough training.
- Not
Considering Mock Drills Seriously - A data center should be available
round the clock, which can only be attained when the workforce is
thoroughly trained to perfectly handle emergency situations in order to
avoid unrecoverable losses. So, it is essential to add routine mock
drills.

Apart from these, there are other errors that they
commit, such as choosing irrelevant technology, mindless purchasing of
products, making the data center highly device vendor dependent, and poor
communication with end-users and stakeholders. The bottom line is, a data
center should have protocols and open sources that are easy to operate along
with highly flexible topology. Above all, highly experienced staff is needed
for leveraging the outmost perks of the technology that is adopted both for
planning as well as managing a data center.
