I have seen companies building data centre without proper calculations. It’s end up different concerns. Data centre area / size, location, cooling, power, UPS, accessibility, maintenance, scalability, etc. If we do a proper calculation and consider all the aspects of its design we can avoid such incidents. Some scenarios after completing the design / construction understand that site don’t 3 phase power source, difficulty of water in line / drain piping of CCU. Difficulty of bring or move racks / CCU / UPS / Battery pack to data centre. Difficulty to add redundant power source, or due to the area unable to fix generator. Difficult to construct solid walls. Power backups and cost of equipments.
