New Data Center Standard

mstansberry writes to tell us that the Telecommunications Industry Association (the people who brought you the CAT standards for unshielded twisted pair cabling) recently published a 148 page document meant to standardize the design considerations for every single aspect of a data center. The standard covers everything from site selection to rack mounting methods.

Greetings and Salutations.
          Interestingly enough, a quick google search for "data center design" comes up with more hits than one can shake a stick at, ranging from free to fairly inexpensive (under $100.00). I have to admit that I wonder if THIS magnum opus has anything in it that these OTHER resources do not cover.

          It never ceases to amaze me at the number of books out there that are supposed to be useful learning tools that are nothing more than a slightly changed rehash of the man pages for a given program.

          Regards
