Public Sector Tech Talk E21: Data Center Design Best Practices for the Public Sector

Event Overview

The way data centers are built for the public sector today is different than in the past. Government agencies demand a resilient design that allows them to provide vital services 24/7. This requires speed, efficiency, flexibility, redundancy, and scalability to meet connectivity and processing demands for mission-critical operations, no matter the location. During this Public Sector Tech Talk, APC by Schneider Electric joins WWT to provide an overview of government data center design and planning, discuss current trends in sustainability, and share best practices for future-proofing your data center.

What to expect

Government agencies face many challenges when it comes to the future of data centers. During this episode, subject matter experts from WWT and APC by Schneider Electric will discuss:
  • A data center consolidation success story
  • How availability, redundancy, and reliability blend into resiliency
  • What resiliency has to do with micro grids and nano grids
  • How sustainability figures into a Public Sector data center design
  • How sustainable data center design translates into operational efficiencies and cost savings

Goals and Objectives

After viewing this episode, attendees will have a better understanding of the data center design planning process, the importance of building in resiliency, how a good design can sustain failures and continue to operate off-grid, and what the government data center of tomorrow needs to look like.
