ABSTRACT:
Unplanned, uncontrolled growth accompanied by new applications has created a hectic, deadline-driven environment, and equipment is often installed with no regard to the long-term implications to data center integrity and reliability. Whether your data center mess is created over years of mismanagement or whether the cable -chocked data center is inherited, solutions for both quick and longer term evolutionary changes exist.
This white paper explains how you can take charge of physical infrastructure deployment and change management behaviors to encourage an orderly data center. Implementing a change control system that accounts for both the IT infrastructure and the physical infrastructure can prevent these setbacks:
Poor air distribution: causes servers to overheat and possible shut down, fail prematurely, or corrupt the data being processed
Poor power system capacity management: leads to downtime
Disrupted communications: constrains telecommunications and can disrupt data
