Modern datacenterdesign och arkitektur
Att utforma det moderna datacentret börjar med noggrann placering av "bra ben." Datacenterens nätverksarkitektur måste vara mycket anpassningsbar, eftersom chefer i huvudsak måste förutse framtiden för att skapa fysiska utrymmen som passar snabbt utvecklande teknik. De med bästa framsyn över trender (inklusive AI, multicloud, edge computing och digital transformation) är de mest framgångsrika.
Top 10 Ways to Avoid Downtime
Data center managers and operators know the looming threat of unnecessary downtime well. Despite technological advances in the IT infrastructure space, they are a common phenomenon. The Ponemon Institute placed the cost of a minute of downtime in the data center at $5,600 in 2010 and at $7,900 in 2013. That has now risen to an average of over $8,000 per minute. For the Fortune 100, the loss of unplanned downtime costs as much as $2.5 billion annually.
How to Fit a Data Center Lift Into Your Budget
Your team would love to purchase an assisted lifting device (ALD) for data center operations, but it’s difficult to find room in your budget—especially for the right solution—the one you really need. You are already familiar with its advantages; it is essential to making your operations safer tomorrow than they were yesterday.
How Much Should a Data Center Lift Cost?
The ROI on a data center lifting device is clear. As we’ve demonstrated in the past, savings can reach into savings of millions of dollars (particularly when accident prevention is factored in).
Best Practices for Rack-Mounted Equipment in Data Center Design
Thought leaders in the data center space are seeing increasing demands on equipment capacity, being driven by cloud adoption and other compute-intensive initiatives. These demands affect construction, design, and engineering.
The Hidden Impact of Server Rack Design
The conversation about data centers—along with data storage density, cloud and edge computing, and other highly technical concepts—is constantly evolving. There is a central topic, however, that doesn’t get equal attention. What we aren’t talking about enough are the physical challenges of the data center environment. More specifically, how changes in server rack and facility designs are affecting data center operations.
In the Data Center: Is Safe, Safe Enough?
It may come as little surprise that at ServerLIFT headquarters, the majority of our conversations revolve around data center safety. It’s the reason we originally designed the ServerLIFT data center lift. No one had made anything like it before. We saw a clear need for a lift that could function effectively in the data center environment without putting anyone at risk.
Choosing the Right ServerLIFT Data Center Lift
A server-handling lift is an important investment for any data center. Buying the right equipment requires careful analysis of both your current and future data center space.
Rack Like a Pro in the Data Center
To compete in the fast-paced data center industry—or even to stay afloat—requires professional operations. To that end, DC owners and managers focus primarily on technology, data security, and the preservation of uptime. What can be forgotten is the work on the floor being handled by the operators: the methodology in handling all of the remarkable … Läs mer
Data Center Equipment Safety Matters: Here’s Why
Historically, the data center industry has been resistant to stagnation. Year over year, it sees tremendous growth and advancement. The Cisco Global Cloud Index shows sustained trends in both data center virtualization and cloud computing, with growth in nearly every associated sector. This positive news extends through 2021, when “data center storage installed capacity will … Läs mer
