DCD Survey: Data center construction
A survey evaluates the role of third-party material handling in data center construction, while facility densification emerges as a faster, lower-cost alternative.
A survey by Data Center Dynamics examines the role of third-party material handling within modern data center construction projects. The study explores how third-party material handling integrates into modern building initiatives as organizations continue to execute complex data center projects.[2]
At the same time, operators evaluating infrastructure expansion may consider alternatives to new construction. Densifying existing data centers is often faster and cheaper than constructing new facilities. However, achieving higher density within an existing site requires meticulous management of power distribution, cooling capabilities, physical access, and applicable regulatory constraints.[1]
