In many data centers large and small there is a history of making short-term decisions that affect long-term design. These may be based on putting out immediate fires, such as rolling out a new application, expanding an old one, or replacing failed hardware. They may also be made by short-sighted or near-sighted policies, or more commonly old policies that aren’t question in the light of new technology. These types of decisions can range from costly to crippling for data center operations.
