How to Design Physical Infrastructure for Distributed Computing

As distributed computing grows, organizations face challenges in designing infrastructure for IT, commercial/office, and industrial/harsh environments. This white paper outlines key considerations.
In IT settings, focus on physical security, rack enclosures, environmental separation, power, cooling, and remote management. For commercial spaces, address aesthetics, noise, thermal comfort, and space constraints. Industrial environments need planning for temperature/humidity extremes, water, dust, vibration, and corrosion.
Ruggedized IT solutions mitigate industrial risks but require tradeoffs. The right partner simplifies designing and deploying distributed computing infrastructure.
