Dynamic data center environments are always in flux – changing hardware, workloads, layouts, and/or goals. The physical infrastructure, the software, and the demands placed upon them both vary moment by moment, day by day. Often, budget restraints require that we reuse existing infrastructure, even when something shiny and new is more attractive or more convenient.  

This new white paper will explore the roles that flexibility and reusability will play going forward in making decisions around engineering future data center designs, and how data centers continue to work on their environmental impacts by pursuing efficiency, reusability, and waste reduction.
