We look at the construction and design of both types and
present results demonstrating that high-density DCs are a better choice for reducing
the owners cost. These results apply to new construction and mostly-unconstrained
retrofits. Densities of 1000 watts per square foot of work cell are being achieved
with good efficiencies. Modern designs of 200 to 400 watts per square foot of work
cell are much more common, but cost more. Costs of the architectural space, power
systems and cooling systems are reviewed as are the operational costs for these
systems. High-density DCs do cost less. The challenges for the high-density DC are
also called out and suggestions for successful operation are made.
