Determine the data centers needs, including bandwidth, redundancy, scalability, and security. Rack Layout and Topology Design the physical rack layout and logical network topology. Consider the types and number of devices per rack, power requirements, and airflow. Cabling Standards and Compliance Decide on cabling types (e.g., CAT6, CAT6a, fiber optics), adhere to industry standards (like TIA-942 for data centers), and plan for future scalability.Develop a comprehensive labeling system for cables, ports, and equipment to streamline troubleshooting and maintenance.
