Jun 22, 2013 at 12:05 comment added sysadmin1138 Mod In 'closet' datacenters, the sysadmin can definitely be prime in specifying and actually doing the work to make that environment safe for computing. For, say, 2K sf/ft facilities, in my experience it is the sysadmin (and maybe the company facilities person) who will be the prime points of contact with the structural/environmental engineers doing the actual CAD work and build-out. Being conversant in the terminology and techniques makes that collaborative process go a lot easier.

Jun 22, 2013 at 7:53 comment added user9517 All very pretty but fundamentally flawed because you just made them up off the top of your head without any real basis.
Jun 22, 2013 at 7:41 comment added Wesley @Iain Yes! Good point about regulatory compliance. Things regarding structural engineering and regulations are not within the scope of a sysadmin, but I think that still leaves a fairly large sized amount of space within the overall circle of "datacenter design" that a sysadmin can at least have the potential to work with.

Jun 22, 2013 at 7:28 comment added user9517 I've had several rooms converted for computer use. On each occasion I told someone what I was putting in the room and how much heat they would likely generate how much power I would need etc. They then came back with a design to meet the requirements that met my needs, the regulatory requirements of the area etc.
Jun 22, 2013 at 7:23 comment added Wesley @Iain That point brings up some interesting ideas. Post updated!
