We recently conducted an interview with Michael Manos, Senior Director of Data Center Services at Microsoft, on RunAs Radio. Microsoft’s been working on a substantial set of data center build-outs, and so Richard and I figured there’s a lot we can all learn from someone like Michael. Not many people have to think as carefully or in such a large scale about how to best tackle the data center design and build issues.

Microsoft has been doubling its data center capacity each year, and it has to think about maximizing efficiencies, “greening” the data center, locations, power — you name it.

If you’re in any way associated with data center design, architecture, or operations, this show’s for you.
