Data centers are the brain and nerve centers of today's high tech environment. Email, webpages, phone calls, banking records, online purchasing, and facilities controls are just a few of the myriad items that require efficient, accurate, and secure electronic transmission and storage. The crux of this entire system is the modern data center - millions of square feet of high power and cooling density systems that process quadrillions of signals. Data Centers can cost in excess of $1B to design and construct - and most systems rely on multiple data center locations. Properly siting and planning the data center, or data center network, is the first step in a multi-step process.
