Critical power environments often rely on highly trained professionals to maintain worker safety while protecting facility equipment. “Safety by design” describes a comprehensive approach, incorporating practical and feasible electrical distribution saftey designs.
A multi-level framework for achieving advanced machine data intelligence at scale
April 6, 2020
Every aspect of our lives and our world is becoming rapidly digitized and computerized. We’ve deployed machines to do things for us but what can they now tell us as a result? As it turns out, quite a lot.
Right now, facility managers are tasked with maintaining maximum uptime and high availability. Though this may seem like a typical day in the data center, it’s not. With businesses all over the country switching to virtual offices at the snap of a finger and families isolating themselves in their homes with nothing to do except watch Netflix and play internet games, our networks are stressed.
This year, Gaw Technology, located in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, marks three decades of providing physical cabinets and racks for the data centers that aggregate everything that makes modern life tick.
Why would one want to risk security, time, and effort to source and integrate different services from various providers? The answers to these questions lie in the notion that organizations are willing to adopt best-of-breed applications rather than settle for mediocrity from a single provider in the name of uniformity.
This white paper explores the most beneficial applications for intelligent rack PDUs with remote power control, defines the key capabilities to require on intelligent rack PDUs with remote power control, and lists additional monitoring and security capabilities that should be considered when selecting intelligent rack PDUs for use in laboratories, in remote/edge sites or when colocating enterprise-owned equipment into MTDCs.
A multitude of variables come into play when selecting the right data center location — from the cost of doing business (think taxes, real estate, and power) to network connectivity, latency, regional infrastructure planning, and more. Find out how much you know by taking this site selection quiz.
The colocation site selection process has evolved dramatically. Gone are the days when prospective clients only had to consider standard Tier III site criteria in addition to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP).
There are billions of connected devices in use worldwide, and that number is increasing by the millions every year. Unfortunately, many of these IoT devices, as well as those currently being developed and deployed, lack critical security features, making them easy targets for hackers and botnets.
