New Datacom Book Offers Structural and Vibration Guidelines
ATLANTA - Shock and vibration can be problems for datacom facilities, causing equipment and structures to degrade over time. With a new publication from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, datacom design teams and equipment manufacturers can learn how to prevent such issues from occurring.
Structural and Vibration Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers is the fifth publication in the ASHRAE Datacom Series.
Shock and vibration sources can include internal equipment that transmit vibration to their surroundings as well as external sources such as trains, construction activities, airports, earthquakes and weather events. To control these sources, datacom equipment centers must consider the performance of the building structure; the building infrastructure such as power, cooling, flooring and ceiling systems; and the equipment itself, including servers, storage and network equipment.
"This book discusses datacom equipment as well as a building's structure and infrastructure in a holistic way while providing best practices for their design and installation," says Budy Notohardjono, vice chair of the book's committee. "Since structural systems are increasingly integrated and specialized to meet the needs of data centers, it is important for not only designers but also owners and operators to know the basics of structure and vibration."
The cost of Structural and Vibration Guidelines for Datacom Equipment Centers, is $48 ($38 members).
