Bucket List for Data Center´s Design

Roberto Sánchez, PE, RCDD, AcxPlaneRS consulting México

AGENDA• Digital Transformation in Society & Business?• Technology is Triggering Digital Transformation (DT)• What does Data Centre´s Designer envisioning?• Flowchart (proposal) for DC´s designing• Bucket list

Digital Transformation in Society & Business• Millenials & Gen. “Z” values, immediate response• Smartphone devices global ubiquity• Climate change environmental awarness• CSR responsibility awareness• Use instead of property (automobile, house, equipment,….) • User “experience” QUALITY immediate solutions

Among several others

Digital Transformation in Society & Business• What does it mean for business?

ADAPT OR DIE

TECHNOLOGY IS TRIGGERING DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION (DT)In Society & Business

But DT is not a –only- about Technology!

So what will happen in Data Centers in 2025+ ?

What must a Data Center´s Designer forsee?

Data Center makes business´ money


DCs´ services must be aligned to organization´s business

• Risk• Resiliency – Availability (uptime 8760hs per year)

• Agility – Performance (adaptative to organization´s needs)

• Cost (CapEx vs. OpEx)


• Think Big– Best solution– Revaluate technology always– Outsource what you can

Which are Data Center´s Designer considerations?

• Start Small– Opportunity cost vs. Business expansión– Divide spaces– Pay as you Grow


• Move Fast– Understand your customer´s business & needs– Assess technology trends– Identify core services & gaps – Improve each time


• Flexibility• Agility• Cost• Scale

• OWNER´s Project Requirements– Business alignment (industry, market,..)

– DC´s Type (Colo-Host-Cloud-Enterprise-Edge; public, private,…)– Site location (Risk Analysis -climate, natural/human risks-)

– Legal (local/state´s Laws, Permits, national Standards)

– Operational (3870hs?, business impact, availability) see BICSI 002

– Day ONE (in operation)

General Designer´s bucket list

• Risk– Risk assestment– Business applications priority– Industry / business Compliance (HIPAA,SOX,PCI…)

• Business Impact– Local , Regional, National, Global

• Availability– Uptime 8760hs per year,– Downtime –planned / unplanned-


• Designing team members– Experience– Updated knowledge– Credentials (RCDD, DCDC, ATD,….)

• Resiliency – Availability– Uptime 8760hs per year,– Downtime –planned / unplanned-

• Agility – Performance



• Decide which Standard to follow+ International: ISO/TS 22237 Data Centers https://www.iso.org/
