Data centers are operated by two entities: Operations/Facilities
and Information Technology (IT). Power, cooling and construction
is owned by Operations/Facilities and IT is responsible for
the IT equipment, software, processes and service delivery
to customers or business units.
Data Center optimization can only be achieved by a synergy
between these two entities; Envision Realty Services serves
as the catalyst for this synergy by providing a list of goals
that will help achieve increased optimization through 3 facets:
1) Electrical and mechanical engineering
improvements leading to improved cooling, power control
and building systems
2) Incremental data center process improvements that
do not require huge capital investments
• Sub-optimized business processes can lead to unneeded
server procurement / sprawl
3) IT hardware and software refinements or improvements
that can optimize the use of dedicated IT equipment ultimately
leading to a reduction in energy consumption
