> Introduction
>
> Data Centers are installations specifically built with the primary purpose
> to house and provide the adequate environmental conditions (space, power,
> cooling, and physical security) for the computer and telecommunication
> equipment used in an organization (Snevely, 2002). However, by extension
> Data Center Systems can be defined as the whole system rooted in a
> physical Data Center installation that includes the human resource, the
> service, the financial, the procurement and the operations sub-systems.
>
> Data Centers (and Data Center Systems) have become in relevant
> organizational assets for generating valuable information resources and
> providing Information Technology and Communication (ICT) functionalities
> to local and remote internal or external end users. Furthermore, in the
> last decade, with the explosion of web-based and inter-organizational
> systems for these type of end users, in large and medium-sized
> organizations with international operations, the Data Centers Systems can
> be considered as mission-critical assets whose availability, performance,
> power efficiency, security, continuity, and overall effectiveness must be
> guaranteed in order to avoid critical downtimes (Arregoces & Portolani,
> 2003; Bilal et al., 2013). Industry reports (Siemon, 2005; ENP, 2011)
> indicate that 1-hr downtime costs in Data Centers installation varies from
> US $10,000 to US $6,000,000 to organizations providing services such as:
> ATM, cellular services, air line reservations, on-line shopping, package
> shipping, credit card authorizations, and brokerage operations. Additional
> to direct financial costs, organizations can also suffer negative impacts
> from a data center?s downtime on: image by business disruption, end-user
> productivity, IT productivity, and third-party operational delay (ENP,
> 2011). Thus, Data Centers installations are currently key organizational
> assets, and their high value proposition in ensuring business continuity
> operations has been highlighted.
> .
>
> However, the planning, design, implementation, operation and control,
> maintenance, evolution, and disposal (when the useful data center?s life
> has been reached) of data centers, in modern times represents a complex
> intertwined net of processes (Holtsnider & Jaffe, 2012). The explosion of
> ICT has introduced both critical technical engineering problems and
> challenges for Data Centers managers (Greenberg et al., 2006; Daim et al.,
> 2009; Alaraifi et al., 2013; Covas et al., 2013). In turn, the economic,
> and socio-political environmental international issues have also
> introduced managerial challenges for Data Center managers regarding green
> IT initiatives, IT service management initiatives, IT managerial cost
> reduction, provision of effective valued IT services, timely release of IT
> services, and assuring a high IT service availability and continuity
> status (Conger et al., 2008; Galup et al., 2009). In particular, the
> conceptualization of Data Centers as service systems (Mora et al., 2009;
> T?rh?nen, 2014) and the link with the design of IT services (Mora et al.,
> 2015) as well as their final implementation in Data Centers is missing in
> the literature.
>
> Furthermore, traditionally the knowledge sources on data center processes
> have come from the ICT industry. Thus there is a wide knowledge gap
> between the academic and industry sectors on critical management and
> technical issues on Data Centers at present. This is due to the explosion
> of ICT, the high costs for having laboratories type Data Centers in the
> academic environments, the lack of textbooks on Data Centers, and the
> scarcity of undergraduate and graduate courses on these topics (Schaeffer,
> 1981; Gusev et al., 2014; Memari et al., 2014). Nevertheless, we consider
> that knowledge with rigor and relevance must be produced from both
> academia and industry. ICT academia has published research on IT service
> management process frameworks, cloud computing performance models (Bilal
> et al., 2014), and other related issues. On the other hand, ICT industry
> has advanced with green IT metrics (Daim et al., 2009; Loos et al., 2011;
> Wang and Khan, 2011), maturity models (Singh et al., 2011) and best
> practices for software development such as DevOps (Kim et al., 2015; Stier
> et al., 2015) where data center engineers are included for a fast and
> correct software release (Pollard et al., 2010; Kliazovich et al., 2012).
>
> Hence, updated, integrative, scientific and practical knowledge is
> required to address critical managerial and technical issues on planning,
> designing, implementing, operating and controlling, maintaining, evolving,
> and disposal of Data Centers Systems.
>
>
> Objective
>
> This special issue pursues to encourage in the Information System
> community the interest and engagement in doing high quality research on
> critical management and technical issues found, lived and expected to be
> solved in thousands of Data Centers spread in worldwide (mainly in
> well-developed economies).
