Can anyone recommend some engineering reading for building and running DC infrastructure?

We didn't find many good up-to-date resources online on the hardware side of things - kinda why we wanted to write about it. The networking aspect was the most mystical - I highly recommend "BGP in the datacenter" by Dinesh Dutt on that (I think it's available for free via NVidia). Our design is heavily influenced by the ideas discussed there.

What was the background of your team going into this project? Did you hire specialists for it (whether full time or consultants)?
