BICSI recently released the newly published ANSI/BICSI 002-2011 "Data Center Design and Implementation Best Practices" standard.
The ANSI/BICSI standard sets forth requirements, recommendations and additional information that should be considered when working with critical systems, like the electrical, mechanical, and telecommunication networks, as well as other significant needs, such as site selection, security, and building needs. Data center owners and operators; telecommunications and information technology (IT) consultants, project managers, and installers; professionals within facilities and physical security management; and A&E and construction firms involved with data centers will find the ANSI/BICSI standard valuable.
An electronic or hardcopy of the ANSI/BICSI standard is available from the BICSI web site.
A preview of Sections 1 through 5 of the newly
published ANSI/BICSI 002-2011 standard is available for
review.
