An enhancement to existing 802.1 bridge specifications standards that involves four technological enhancements. Its goal is to create a converged data-center network infrastructure using Ethernet as the unified fabric.

A cooling system used in a data center to remove heat from one element and deposit it into another element. Chillers are used by industrial facilities to cool the water used in their heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) units. 

A.k.a. Swamp cooling, is a strategy for cooling air that takes advantage of the drop in temperature that occurs when water that's exposed to moving air begins to vaporize and change to gas.   

A.k.a. Containerized or Modular data center,  is a self-contained computing facility that is manufactured in a factory and shipped to a location. 

A metric used to determine the energy efficiency of a data center. The metric, which is expressed as a percentage, is calculated by dividing IT equipment power by total facility power.

The convergence of IT and data center facilities functions to improve the efficiency of energy use, optimize equipment layouts, support virtualization and consolidation, develop strategic planning and enhance data center availability.

A data format and model for exchanging information that describes a data center environment. DCML is intended to provide a common description of a data center. DCML allows an enterprise to describe the state of the data center environment.

Migrating of Data from One Data Center to another.

Relocating servers or data from one Data Center to another.

A planned part of a facility architecture and is usually associated with other disaster planning and data center disaster-recovery considerations such as data protection. 

A collective term for the supporting components necessary for the proper operation of a repository for storage, management and dissemination of data organized around a body of knowledge or pertaining to an enterprise.
