New Data Center (Where To Start)

[Anonymous user]

Hi All,
New to the forum, so be nice!

We are in the process of building a new administrative office which will consist of a new data center. It does not look like the upper echelons are going to allow us to hire a design consultant so it is up to me to design it. I would like to know if there are some sort of designing tools or a basic "where to start" would be great. It will be a small data center with 20 or less racks of equipment and no raised floors. I do have some basic design knowledge and a lot of my own ideas, but would like to see what the industry is doing.

Thanks for any help.

Joe
