Data center migration and problems to be considered in scale construction

Data center migration, before the data center is designed, we must consider the size of the data center. The size of the construction scale of the data center is closely related to the current investment costs and the future operation and maintenance costs.

The following questions should be taken into account to determine the scale of the construction of the data center:
1., the current business needs and expansion needs in the future period. According to the operation experience of most enterprises, at least, the data center has to be expanded in the next five years.
2. the economic scale of the enterprise is fully considered, that is, whether the project input and the expected output ratio are in the optimal state, and whether the use of resources and funds is efficient. We can adopt the first time basic construction and the strategy of step by step in the later period.
3., determine the feasibility of the proposed scale, and focus on whether the resource condition meets the requirements of the proposed scale, including site space, energy supply and project funding status.
4. give full consideration to the current situation, development trend and industry characteristics of the industry in which the enterprise is located.
5. on the premise of maintaining the availability and reliability of the project, the effective utilization of the original equipment and facilities should be fully considered.
After taking the above factors into consideration, the number of the frame of the future data center is estimated at first, and the area demand of the machine room is preliminarily determined. At the same time, according to the power density and redundancy level of the future data center, we can make reasonable prediction for the distribution facilities and the area of the air conditioning that it needs to provide, and finally we can determine the scale of the data center.
