Written by Dasha Bushmakin | Oct 18, 2013

As companies are looking to improve their data centers, can there be a possibility of building an immortal data center?

Here are a few strategies to consider when retrofitting your data center:

* Analyze the different types of activities running on those servers and create high density, medium density and low density zones.

* Build up the density of your server racks.

* Decommission older server racks and free up additional space.

* Identify the goals of the infinite data center (energy efficient, economical to build, ability to adapt to new technologies, support continuous growth).

* Slow, systematic refresh cycle.
