Data Centre Planning and Design
How to guidance, case studies and best practice advice into data centre planning and data centre design.
What would it mean to your organization if you could always access critical business data at the exact moment you need it?
Or if you could improve service and reduce costs by delivering IT services when the customer requests them—and automatically reclaim them when they are no longer needed?

Many data centres are rapidly moving towards the end of their productive lives. This problem is compounded by the increasing demands placed on data centres by the development of new data intensive technologies. It is therefore imperative that data centres are operated in ways that will optimise current performance.
Over the past 5 years, we have seen a huge growth in the use of Ethernet as a storage fabric. NFS deployment has expanded from its Unix file sharing and technical applications roots into large-scale enterprise applications environments, particularly those benefiting from a file system interface for application administration, and data protection offloading from the host environment.
Most Recent Data Centre Planning and Design
Many organizations are running out of space in their data centers. Not only are data centers mission critical, but they are at or near capacity, and they run very hot and are getting hotter every day. Data center managers need to optimize their existing infrastructure in a way that will bring down costs, bring down space and cooling requirements and build an effective business case that will demonstrate a return on investment.
Novell is a global infrastructure software company that delivers a highly engineered, most interoperable Linux platform and a portfolio of integrated IT management software that helps businesses worldwide reduce cost, complexity and risk. Novell has 4,100 employees worldwide with revenue approaching $1 billion (US).

For far too long investment in the data centre was regarded as a low priority when it came to company expenditure and investment. This eye opening article points out how this situation is rapidly changing as companies realise that many business critical functions are underpinned by reliable and secure access to information.
Experience shows that a new step forward in speed will only be widely accepted by the market if there is also a twisted pair version. Until recently no-one could say whether a 40 Gigabit version of Ethernet was also possible over twisted pair. That has now changed and there will definitely be 40 GBASE-T.
