Currently, in the US, there is about one data center for every 100 people, and more are being built as we speak. But before you join the trend and build your first facility, you may be wondering what you may need. Here is a checklist of what you need to know for your data center installation project.

Building and Infrastructure

One of the first things you need when building a new data center is adequate space. You will need plenty of room for racks, servers, and networking equipment. Sufficient electrical power capacity with redundancy, like UPS systems and generators, is also necessary to guarantee uninterrupted power. LDP Associates offers Uninterruptible Power Supply systems to keep your data center protected even during power outages and poor weather conditions.

Cooling Solutions and Fire Suppression

The servers inside a data center generate a lot of heat, which can cause unplanned system failures or even fires if they are not taken care of properly. With that in mind, when building a new data center, it is vital to have cooling systems and solutions available to maintain optimal temperatures and humidity levels. 

You will also want to have a fire detection and suppression system on hand to protect your equipment and data. LDP Associates offers quality data center supplies, including data center air conditioning and cooling solutions, to keep your facility running safely.

Prefabricated Data Center Modules

Prefabricated data center modules can come in handy when constructing your new facility. These modules house data center IT equipment and are pre-engineered and pre-built, unlike traditional data centers that are built from the ground up and involve extensive construction on-site. 

Because prefabricated modules are manufactured off-site and then assembled or integrated into a complete data center facility, they help improve the overall efficiency and productivity of the data center installation project.

Whether you are looking for prefabricated data center modules, cooling solutions, or infrastructure supplies, our team at LDP Associates has you covered. Contact us today to learn more about our data center products and how we can help you with your data center installation.
