Why should you use PD CLC/TR 50600-99-3 - Data centre facilities and infrastructures?

The needs of data centres also vary in terms of availability of service, the provision of security and the objectives for energy efficiency. These needs and objectives influence the design of data centres in terms of building construction, power distribution, environmental control and physical security. Effective management and operational information are required to monitor the achievement of the defined needs and objectives.

PD CLC/TR 50600-99-3 provides you with an introduction to the EN 50600 series and the interdependencies between the various standards in order to ease the correct application by all parties concerned. PD CLC/TR 50600-99-3 specifies data centres to provide modular, scalable and flexible facilities and infrastructures to easily accommodate the rapidly changing requirements of the market. In addition, the energy consumption of data centres has become critical both from an environmental point of view (reduction of carbon footprint) and with respect to economic considerations (cost of energy) for the data centre operator.

The implementation of data centres varies in terms of:

Purpose (enterprise, co-location, co-hosting, or network operator facilities)
Security level
Physical size
Accommodation (mobile, temporary and permanent constructions)

You can use PD CLC/TR 50600-99-3 guidance and recommendations for the design, planning, procurement, integration, installation, operation and maintenance of facilities and infrastructures within data centres.
