Data center fundamentals written by Mauricio Arregoces and Maurizio Portolani, covers the basics of all technologies used in data center. The book has various sections explaining compute, networking, content switching, security and performance aspects of data center.
Part 1 gives high level explanation of all technologies used in data center. This should give good idea about data center to most of the readers.

Part 4 is about actual design of data center considering the factuals presented in the preceding sections.
