Mission Critical Magazine

2019 May/June

Mission Critical Magazine’s 2019 May/June issue takes a deep dive into controlling water damage in data centers, the art of balancing density, and using new data management tools to optimize network availability. In addition, our second annual Optimal Edge Supplement examines how far we’ve come and where we are going in edge computing.

Water penetration and condensation can cripple a building. With 85% of U.S. construction-rated claims tied to uncontrolled rainwater penetration, it’s a common issue — especially when design and construction timelines are stretched to meet demand.

In my last column, I compared the data center efficiency metric power usage effectiveness (PUE) and the ASHRAE 90.4 standard.

On Demand This webinar will present the mechanical and electrical options for on-site energy storage for your mission critical environment. These options include grid-level battery storage, thermal energy storage, zero-net energy, solar, and critical power stored energy.

Powering Edge Data Centers

On Demand An edge data facility is still a data center. One still and must consider design, construction, and operational habits that result in high levels of system availability, maintainability, and resiliency. The disaggregation that edge poses will distribute compute and storage assets, and the challenge will be placing edge assets into sufficiently robust facilities or enclosures outside of traditional data centers where those local solutions can equally sustain those IT operations and systems.
