Many companies expand their data center space due to infrastructure needs, like
power, network connectivity and compliance requirements.
Companies planning to expand their data centers cited reasons such as, new
applications requiring increased computing power, the need for more square
footage, disaster recovery initiatives and Sarbanes Oxley compliance
requirements, which require additional data center infrastructure. Also, power
has become an increasingly important factor in corporate data center planning,
as has the need for upgraded cooling systems and better network connectivity.
Most corporate data centers consist of 10,000-25,000 square feet of raised floor
space, and the majority of companies want at least 10,000 square feet, at least
4.1 kW per rack and some level of redundancy. Companies with closet-sized data
centers are outgrowing them and moving to much larger spaces.The last time that
they may have done something was in prep for Y2K and that may have been minimal
on the facility side because they were spending so much money on the IT side.
All of sudden they are 10 years out of date without enough power or enough
cooling, and the demands of internal and external customers or clients are for
new infrastructure equipment to accommodate new IT equipment.
