Over the last few years, the role of a data centre manager and a facilities manager have converged, (or should have), significantly. It is no longer the case that the data centre manager requires little or no understanding of the cooling systems or the power provision. It is equally no longer the case that the facility manager needs little or no understanding of the technology that is deployed. Both of these roles require knowledge of the other. When the air conditioning fails and the Chairman's email server goes down, he won't be ringing the facility manager, he will ring the data centre manager to ask why he has lost his email service. Conversely, when the air conditioning fails, it is likely to be connected to the network and sending out an SNMP alert - if the facility manager doesn't understand this, he is immediately at a disadvantage.
