Electrorack, a Legrand Group brand, recently posted its article, Data Center Development in the United States, on its ePulse Info Center at electrorack.com. “We wanted to kick off our new article series with an article that discusses trends in data center development in the US,” said Todd Schneider, Electrorack’s Director of Marketing. “The industry is dynamic and constantly changing, and so we felt an article that addresses development would be both appropriate and timely.”
Excerpt from Data Center Development in the United States:
Despite the slow economic recovery, a variety of statistics show that data center growth continues to expand. For example, a recent survey at the Fall 2011 7 X 24 Exchange Conference revealed that 72% of respondents will definitely or probably will build a new internal data center in the next 12 to 24 months, while 64% are looking to retrofit or expand their existing facilities. Regardless, the stagnant economy is spurring significant efforts to increase the efficiency of existing and new data centers.
Several large companies, for example, are opening data centers on the East Coast with a mind on utilizing the cooler weather and the availability of coastal water to handle rack overheating problems. The recent trend is to construct new data centers in areas where land is cheap and where there is water for both hydroelectric power and for server cooling.
“We look forward to contributing future articles on our ePulse Info Center,” added Todd. “And we’ll be covering all the markets we serve, including the broadcast/broadband, military, and industrial markets.”
