Your business relies on the data center if you are an enterprise or your business is operating data centers as a colocation company or a managed hoster or even a large public cloud.
And you are going to have challenges around minimizing cost, maximizing performance as well as going faster on deployments and managing change.
To perform well the design must be correct and then to the data center must be monitored, managed and maintained to achieve that uptime. Most data centers need to be modular in order to scale fast – especially cloud data centers. Plus use of energy saving technologies like economizers and free or fresh air ccoling can be deployed. As always maintaining a safe work environment is critical – especially in the electrical and mechanical rooms.
So why is the data center industry going through a transformation? Its because there are weaknesses in the process. The top 5 weaknesses… Long design time leading up to construction documents Multiple design and/or equipment changes driving up cost and construction time
Multiple vendor management Multiple markups driving higher overall cost
Coordination and integration challenges increasing both cost and construction time
These weaknesses are deterents to meeting the requirements to raise performance, Lower costs asnd increases speed to market and speed of change

FROM DELETED SLIDE:
Schneider Electric has a history of building effective, powerful software tools.
But, our offering has been a complex network of various applications that have little in common.
This far reaching offer can be difficult for customers to understand and select the right applications for their situation.
So, we selected some of our best, most robust software applications and organized them into a framework across 3 levels and 7 functions.
Different users at different levels have different needs.
The machine operator needs millisecond data delivered by a SCADA that allows him to make split second decisions on the plant floor or within a building.
The plant manager needs analytics that allow him to analyze trends and optimize assets.
The CFO or CEO needs aggregated, monthly or weekly reports that give her a trendline for energy use, cost, carbon, etc.
Schneider Electric now has software that perfectly fits each level and business function.
Sustainability Planning: To view energy and sustainability issues strategically ensuring all decisions support the financial and operational integrity of your entire enterprise.
Energy Management: Flexible and scalable energy management information system that aggregates energy data into a single view to support your energy efficiency initiatives.
Business Operations: To maximize business performance and enhance operational efficiency throughout all facilities and processes.
Asset Management: To validate that each asset is performing at optimal level and ensure the asset lifecycle is fully optimized.
Power Availability: To protect your business from damage and disruptions caused by power outages and power quality issues.
Process Control: To control facility processes completely to drive maximum production performance and ensure operational safety.
Security: To verify occupants are both protected and able to perform their jobs securely.
Data Center Expert provides an efficient way for organizations to monitor their company-wide multi-vendor physical infrastructure: power, cooling, security, and IT environment. Real-time monitoring, user-defined reports and graphs, and instant fault notification and escalation enable quick assessment and resolution of critical infrastructure events that can adversely affect IT system availability.
StruxureWare Operations software manages assets, operational and capital costs
Data Center Operation enables vendor-agnostic inventory management with real-time data shown within your data center physical layout. A location-based drill-down view provides a structured overview of data center locations, from a global to local view down to single assets. Our modular approach combines all the benefits of real-time monitoring and inventory management through to detailed planning and predictive simulation tools.

Data Center components that Schneider Electric offers as prefabricated functional building blocks
Multiple form factors and power ranges, inside or outside deployment
Building Blocks used independently or together to form a data center solution
Reliable devices and subsystems are now available from many vendors, making component reliability a given. The next step is to actually shift the focus to the integrated reliability of a subsystem. Typically, high component efficiency has been operating expense (OPEX) friendly, but not capital expenditure (CAPEX) friendly. The subsystem approach creates preengineered and prefabricated designs, which are combined to construct and entire data center which provide advantages in performance, speed , and cost. Schneider manufactures a full portfolio of these prefabricated building blocks that make it easy to plan and design data centers of any size, cost and performance
Prefabricated Data Centers deliver advantages around
Performance, cost, and speed vs. traditional Data Centers
They are predictable because they deliver the density, availability, and efficiency you expected
The cost you were promised and Project timing as you planned
They have faster deployment due to Less decisions necessary for planning and design with
Up to 60% less time for deployment and Delivery in 12 weeks or less from PO to ship.
Prefabricated modules offer the best Flexibility and Scalability Defer to reduce capital expenses and maximize cash flow,
Adjust for changing requirements, plus you can deploy in various configurations of density and availability even within a singel data center
It was not possible to effectively and efficiently deploy physical infrastructure that closely matched your IT workload initially and scale appropriately until the availability of a full portfolio of prefabricated modules. Since the future is unknown, its beneficial to know you can scale in small more granular increments or very large increments as needed by the business requirements.
In addition to the initial capital savings, there are operational savings associated with higher efficiency from not overbuilding as well as reduction in real estate, maintenance and service costs.
Again bringing IT and facilities together
Allowable humidity of 20-80% RH is for A1 and A2 only. A4 = 8-90% RH
Allowable maximum dewpoint for A1 = 62.6F and A4 = 75.2F
Also, first column should say RH and DP
The traditional stick built data centers offer the greatest opportunity for customization since they are all built from a clean sheet of paper - This also makes them the most expensive and the most unpredictable from performance, cost and schedule because of the very large number of decisions and components. However Schneider has built a library of designs that we have repeated and refined as very sound starting points for custom data centers.
With fully prefabricated reference designs its much easier to mix and match the dirrernt power, cooling and IT modules to achieve Tier levels and density levels. It is now even possible to think out of the box and easily conceive, architect and construct multiple tier levels and density levels within a single data center
