In this month’s issue, we celebrate 7x24 Exchange’s 25th birthday. Andy Lane, our “Talent Matters” columnist, traces the organization’s roots from an idea into a full-fledged knowledge exchange whose goal is to “improve end-to-end reliability by promoting dialogue among” groups who “design, build, operate and maintain mission-critical enterprise information infrastructures.” Happy Birthday and many more!
If it is the September/October issue, it must mean a discussion on power. Consistently month after month, power is one of the hottest topics searched for by our readers and we cover it twice a year. This issue’s theme is power distribution considerations and we have both articles and a guest column that speak to the subject: Rahul Rajvanshi and Tom Hawkins of Siemens discuss low-voltage switchgear as the must-have solution for power distribution systems; John Day of Anord Critical Power talks about how the Form 4b Type 7 design switchgear entered U.S., furthering the discussion; Joe Skorjanec of Eaton writes on the special place PDUs have in the modern data center; and Peter Panfil of Emerson Network Power discusses what to look for in a UPS.
