Data Centers are a significant investment to the corporations and IT departments who they serve. Whether or not they actually achieve the availability of the design is highly dependent on the quality of the service personnel and their ability to meet the challenges specific to data center management.

The new servers consistently outperformed earlier servers, achieving higher throughput and reduced power consumption. We realized increased energy efficient performance (EEP) and increased computing performance in the data center through server consolidation.
Data center cooling systems are sized for a full-load operating point that exists infrequently.
