Data Center Handbook

Acknowledgments

The Data Center Handbook is a collective representation of an international community with scientists and professionals from eight countries around the world. Fifty-one authors, from data center industry, R&D, and academia, plus fifteen members at Technical Advisory Board have contributed to this book. Many suggestions and advice were received while I prepared and organized the book.

I gratefully acknowledge the contributors who dedicated their time in spite of their busy schedule and personal lives to share their wisdom and valuable experience.
