Mission Critical Mindset
Want to know HOW a “Mission Critical MINDSET” works ?
Data centers are very different from commercial office buildings and factories in terms of construction, management, and operation.
The failure of a data center is not an option for most. Today, businesses often totally rely on or even are their data centers. A data center is much more complex, and it undergoes much greater changes than most other types of facilities.
A challenging management environment is created by software defined data centers (i.e., virtual machines, virtual storage, and virtual networks) and workload movement. In order to meet these challenges, careful coordination and planning are required, right from the design through to the construction and management of the facilities.
As we move through the process of designing, building, and managing the DC, we will maintain the “MISSION CRITICAL MINDSET”.
