A data processing center, commonly known as a data center, is an essential facility for any organization that relies on digital information. These centers are the core where computer equipment responsible for processing and storing data is housed. The size of these centers can vary considerably, from small rooms to massive facilities like those owned by tech giants such as Google and Amazon, where the size can exceed 100,000 square meters.
Data processing centers are not only fundamental for service continuity but are also crucial for managing sensitive and critical information. At Suitelec, we understand the importance of an efficient and well-maintained data center and offer specialized services to optimize their performance and security.
Location is a decisive aspect in the design of a data processing center. The cost of the land, available infrastructure, and potential risks such as floods or earthquakes must be considered. A good example of location strategy is Facebook, which installed one of its centers in a cold location to significantly reduce energy costs.
Moreover, it is crucial to optimize cooling systems. Separating hot and cold air aisles can considerably reduce the need for cooled air, thus lowering energy consumption. Equally important is the detailed planning of the center’s space and resources, as well as conducting regular audits to ensure the good condition and efficiency of each component.
Another aspect to consider is lighting; using LED lighting is not only more sustainable but can also reduce costs by up to 90%. Regular cleaning also plays a vital role, as the accumulation of dust and dirt can cause overheating and equipment failures.
