Designing a data center involves choosing the right layout to optimize performance, efficiency, and scalability. Here’s a detailed look at the pros and cons of different data center layouts, with insights from Stendel + Reich data center architecture. Centralized Design Pros: Efficient Use of Switch Ports: Centralized designs use switch ports efficiently, reducing the need for additional hardware. Easier Management: Managing and adding components is simpler in a centralized layout, as all equipment is located in one area. Cons: Limited Scalability: Centralized designs can be challenging to expand, making them less suitable for growing data centers. Extended Cable Lengths: Longer cable runs can cause congestion in pathways and increase costs, especially in larger data c
