Datacenter

Thu Aug 12 00:12:03 UTC 2004

Hello,

My company is looking to build a new Datacenter in the Ft. Lauderdale 
area of florida.  This is my first such experience building one from 
scratch.  Does anyone have or know of an available design guide?

What kind of options are available for backup power?  (IE low or 
midrange Diesel generators, Backup Battery Arrays, etc)  Can someone 
recommend a good electrician that has experience with Datacenters?

What about enviornmental controls?  (IE A/C Systems, Fire Supression 
systems designed for datacenters, Humidity control, access control (key 
card/pad systems), etc)

Anyone out there do raised flooring cheaply? :)
