Deploying IT Equipment in Small Server Rooms and Branch Offices

Small server rooms and branch offices are typically unorganized, unsecure, hot, unmonitored, and space constrained. These conditions can lead to system downtime or, at the very least, lead to “close calls” that get management’s attention. Practical experience with these problems reveals a short list of effective methods to improve the availability of IT operations within small server rooms and branch offices. This course discusses making realistic improvements to power, cooling, racks, physical security, monitoring, and lighting. The focus of this course is on small server rooms and branch offices with up to 10kW of IT load.
