Data Center Physical Infrastructure

DCPI is the foundation on which information technology and telecommunications networks reside, connecting power, cooling, housing, security, fire protection, cabling, management, and services.

Overview

Data center physical infrastructure is the foundation upon which IT and telecommunication networks reside. Its elements provide the power, cooling, physical housing, security, fire protection and cabling that allow information technology to function.

SCOPE provides critical DCPI elements and integrates them into a seamless end-to-end system supported by management systems and services. Viewing DCPI as a whole rather than as individual components is essential to an understandable system that performs as expected.

Business Value
