Planning modern data centers
Planning a data center includes site selection, energy supply, cooling, IT security and organizational processes. Even in the early planning phase, investment costs in the data center can be significantly reduced if requirements and budgets are precisely coordinated.
The dimensions and requirements for a company’s own data center are constantly increasing. From large corporations to small and medium-sized enterprises, high availability and top technical performance are required around the clock, 365 days a year.
Planning the construction of a suitable data center is always a new challenge with many new risks. Expansion work as well as room-in-room systems, depending on the requirements and in different qualities, must be realized within a given budget. When planning the construction of a data center, the aspects of hardware security, software security, a secure infrastructure and organizational security must therefore be taken into account. The aim is to construct a data center that meets current and future requirements.
Advantages of a data center:
- Fast delivery: usually within hours
- Central server monitoring: with automatic hardware management
- Cost-effective: pay-per-use, no hardware investment

Setting up a data center: Important aspects
The construction of a data center requires precise planning of all core areas. From power supply, cooling and network operation to security concepts and scalability, all factors must be taken into account to ensure a stable and future-proof infrastructure.
Power supply & redundancy
- Power supply – uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS, emergency power generators).
- Redundancy & availability – duplicate systems and failover mechanisms ensure uninterrupted operation.
Cooling, air conditioning & energy efficiency
- Cooling & air conditioning – raised floors, cold/hot aisle, air/water heat exchanger.
- Energy efficiency – optimized cooling, modern hardware and green IT concepts reduce operating costs.
Network operation & monitoring
- Network operation in the data center – reliable LAN/WAN connection, monitoring, redundancies.
- Monitoring & management – intelligent systems for monitoring temperature, power consumption and utilization.
Security concepts
- Security concepts – physical security (access control, video surveillance) and organizational processes.
Scalability
- Scalability – flexible racks and modular structures.
Fire protection & compliance
- Fire protection systems – automatic extinguishing systems and sensors prevent damage caused by fire.
- Compliance & certifications – adherence to standards such as ISO 27001 or BSI basic protection ensures maximum security.

Transparent planning
IT infrastructures can only be optimized with the correct planning of data center costs, which records the data centre as a flexible system consisting of various coordinated aspects. Operating costs can thus be minimized and efficiency increased.
Setting the right course as early as possible in the planning phase can often save considerable investment costs. Nothing is more expensive than subsequent changes due to inadequate concepts, or even worse: concepts with safety gaps.
Cost categories:
- Investment costs: construction, power supply, racks, cooling, security systems.
- Operating costs: energy, maintenance, personnel, network connection.
- Optimization: Provider-neutral advice can save up to 20 % in costs.
Cost breakdown:
- Costs of renting in the respective data center
- Cost of electricity consumption
- Acquisition costs of the racks/ or rental costs of the racks
- Costs for cooling the hardware
- Internet connection to the data center

Data center connection & secure coupling
Data center connection & secure coupling
A reliable data center connection is crucial for uninterrupted operation. High availability and maximum reliability can be achieved through redundant lines, carrier diversity and a secure data center connection.
- Redundant carriers and dark fiber increase availability.
- Multiple road feeds protect networks against failures.
- Secure data center coupling: Cross-site networking with redundant connections enables high availability.
- Georedundancy: Distributed locations guarantee maximum reliability in the event of disruptions or natural disasters.
- Multiple carrier peering options: Direct access to different networks reduces latency and increases performance.
- Load distribution (load balancing): Intelligent distribution of data traffic ensures stable performance even at peak loads.
- Automatic failover: Immediate switchover to alternative connections in the event of failures prevents service interruptions.
- Secure VPN and MPLS connections: Encrypted connections ensure data protection and compliance.
Air conditioning
A constant operating temperature is an important consideration. High levels of waste heat due to the increased integration of processors or servers require efficient cooling solutions. For example, the location in the building or the room heights play just as decisive a role in planning as suitable air routing through raised floors or cold aisles. In order to compensate for the heat loss of the IT / TC hardware used through suitable air conditioning, an air-water heat exchanger, which can also be installed decentrally on the rack and cool as required, is increasingly suitable.
