5 Reasons Hospital Data Centers Should Choose ServerLIFT® データセンターのリフト
Hospital IT requirements differ from those of most other businesses or industries. The consequences of each operational decision are measured in the quality of care patients receive, rather than in simple inconveniences or quarterly reports. Every choice impacts patient safety, regulatory exposure, uptime, liability, and labor costs. So why should hospital data centers be using ServerLIFT® data center lifts? Because risk, uptime, labor efficiency, compliance, etc., are directly affected by how quickly and safely technicians can install and move hardware in the data center. Technicians using ServerLIFT data center lifts reduce risk across the board and minimize incidents that could affect patient care. Here are five reasons hospital data centers […]

7 Best Practices for Safely Moving Heavy IT Equipment in Data Centers
Moving heavy and expensive IT equipment is essential in data centers. AI servers are very heavy, and high rack density can require tight maneuvers in narrow spaces. There is a significant risk of injury, damage, and liability. If you have a major move (or a steady series of installations) planned, here is a step-by-step workflow for a data center team to safely and efficiently move heavy IT equipment. 1. Pre-plan your move. To start, measure the IT equipment you’ll be moving and record its dimensions and total weight. Note any lift points or manufacturer instructions, including restrictions on tilting or jostling during transit. Next, decide on your handling method. How […]
7 Data Center Trends To Watch In 2026

6 Key Facts About Neocloud Data Centers
AI has reshaped the modern data center. In response, a new class of cloud provider has emerged: the neocloud. These GPU-first platforms deliver intense accelerators, high-bandwidth fabrics, and fast deployment of pre-integrated AI racks. Examples include CoreWeave, Lambda, Voltage Park, and Crusoe. These businesses prioritize time-to-compute above all other metrics, rather than general-purpose infrastructure as a service (IaaS). The hardware they use doesn’t resemble traditional server farms. Instead, they host 6U and 8U GPU servers (occupying 6 or 8 rack units of vertical space in a standard data center rack, respectively), weighing 200 to 300 pounds each, in meter-deep chassis and rack-scale systems that ship pre-assembled and are ready for […]
