    The document provides guidelines for designing a data center, focusing on simplicity, flexibility, scalability, modularity, and planning for future growth and problems. The top 10 guidelines are: 1) Plan ahead for any issues, 2) Keep the design simple so problems can be fixed quickly, 3) Design for flexibility to accommodate changes, 4) Use a modular design for simplicity and flexibility, 5) Use Rack Location Units instead of square footage to define capacity and scalability, 6) Consider weight limits of floors and ramps for current and future equipment loads, 7) Use aluminum tiles for raised floors to handle increasing weights, 8) Label all cables for easy identification, 9) Keep cables and equipment covered and out of sight, and

    Keep the Design as Simple as Possible

    Design for Flexibility


    Purpose of Design: Tier I, II III IV
    Design for Scalability (use of rack location units (RLUs) to design for equipment needs).
    Use a Modular Design

    Top Ten Data Center Design Guidelines


    The following are the top ten guidelines selected from a great many other guidelines,
    many of which are described throughout this book.
    1. Plan ahead. You never want to hear Oops! in your data center.
    2. Keep it simple. Simple designs are easier to support, administer, and use. Set things up
    so that when a problem occurs, you can fix it quickly.
    3. Be flexible. Technology changes. Upgrades happen.
    4. Think modular. Look for modularity as you design. This will help keep things simple and

    flexible.
    5. Use RLUs, not square feet. Move away from the concept of using square footage of
    area to determine capacity. Use RLUs to define capacity and make the data center
    scalable.
    6. Worry about weight. Servers and storage equipment for data centers are getting
    denser and heavier every day. Make sure the load rating for all supporting structures,
    particularly for raised floors and ramps, is adequate for current and future loads.
    7. Use aluminum tiles in the raised floor system. Cast aluminum tiles are strong and
    will handle increasing weight load requirements better than tiles made of other materials.
    Even the perforated and grated aluminum tiles maintain their strength and allow the
    passage of cold air to the machines.
    8. Label everything. Particularly cabling! It is easy to let this one slip when it seems as if
    there are better things to do. The time lost in labeling is time gained when you dont
    have to pull up the raised floor system to trace the end of a single cable. And you will
    have to trace bad cables!
    9. Keep things covered, or bundled, and out of sight. If it cant be seen, it cant be
    messed with.
    10. Hope for the best, plan for the worst. That way, youre never surprised.
    Scoring procedure
    The scoring parameter for the evaluation of vendor response is segregated into different
    bid
    areas, which will include every bid areas defined in the RFP. The evaluation will be carrie
    d
    out in discreet manner covering two major attribute, the Technical and Financial.
    Technical Bid the evaluation criteria set for construction of Data Center is subjected to w
    ith
    wide range of scoring parameters such as company expertise, company profile,
    human
    resource, financial capability, maintenance, warranty, etc.
    The following are the major components for the overall technical evaluation procedure:
    Meeting the specified technical specifications of the products proposed by the Client
    compliance statement.
    Company profile of the bidding firm.
    Technical manpower of the firm trained experienced and qualified
    personnel for
    the performance and completion of all the Contractual
    Obligations, arising out of
