Particularly of interest would be "established standards" for "Class A Datacenter" specifically relating to the physical plant -- Power, cooling, physical security, etc. I think we can all agree in general on N+1 everything, and we can go round and round again on what exactly constitutes "Tier-1 provider," but what about the physical space itself? I can put a fully-redundant network with multiple "Tier-1" connections in my garage but I still wouldn't consider my garage to then be a "Class A Datacenter."

Are there any established standards for enterprise datacenters at all, aside from the obvious, N+1 redundant everything, diverse paths, etc.? On Thu, 18 Sep 2003 Valdis.Kletnieks () vt edu wrote:
