A Data Center Design Plan is essentially a roadmap that helps companies to consider and prioritize the current and future components they require in a data center. The primary components of a data center design plan include, but are not limited to:

• Power Demands
• Cooling Capabilities
• Rack Density
• Networking and Redundancy
• Workflow and Repeatable Processes
• Implementation
• Integration and Automation
• Testing
• Security and Compliance
• Analytics and Reporting

Then these components are built into a master plan that includes placements, functionality, congruence, equipment, and component specs, etc. mapping out the details of the entire data center build.
