A data centre’s building and infrastructure are inseparable. Architecture, power, cooling and operational requirements need to be considered together from the start of development.

The Toldy Construct journal also explores the sustainability and infrastructure challenges facing data centres. For a specific development, an initial review of location, capacity requirements and project status provides the starting point.
