The Data Center Facilities IT Handbook: Reinforcing IT and Facilities Relations

sponsored by APC by Schneider Electric

ABSTRACT:

This e-book from the experts at SearchDataCenter.com tackles one of the biggest IT communication gaps: the relationship between IT staff and facilities managers. IT resources can be provisioned more quickly and cheaply than ever, but they depend on the IT department to provide the brick and mortar as well as the megawatts.

Most IT groups and facilities pros have been comfortable in keeping to their individual specialty areas, but communication failures on both sides results in lost revenue and unanticipated infrastructure projects like power and cooling.

This e-book serves as a guide for IT pros looking to ensure that their physical infrastructures support the data center. Read on for tips to do the following:

Fostering growth and cooperation

Forming bonds

Improving interaction

Gauging the future
