Environmental Design
Cloud security is way more than technical measures. It involves a comprehensive approach that includes policies, procedures, and personnel to ensure robust security practices are maintained. Another important consideration is the environment in which the cloud systems exist.
Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
Data centers consume a ridiculous amount of power, generating an enormous amount of heat. A well-designed HVAC system is indispensable for maintaining optimal temperature and humidity levels, ensuring the longevity of hardware and the reliability of cloud services.
An HVAC failure can reduce the availability of computing resources. A lot of customers will audit the quality of HVAC design before moving forward with a CSP, so it’s critical for providers to ensure robust and reliable environmental controls to maintain service continuity.
