It has been a great five years for Mission Critical. Over those five years, we have focused on numerous topics essential to data centers and other critical operations
No folks, I am not a heretic. But the continuing evolution of technology begs the question of whether the IT-facilities divide of the past will simply disappear.
Wild fires ravage communities across 15 states, 10 inches of rain fall in a few hours, drought lays waste to vast areas of the country, tornado season starts a month early, the most named storms strike in the month of June with Tropical Storm Debby
At a recent DCIM seminar hosted by nLyte Software, RF Code, and Server Technology, guest moderator Bruce Taylor, vice president of the Uptime Institute (part of the 451 Research Group) referenced the Institute’s 2012 Survey results
When the Steel ORCA team started planning, it was our intention of being the “Greenest Data Center on Earth,” and, as a data center/services company, we were in the enviable position of being unrestrained by established corporate policies, legacy designs, or outdated facilities.
Jonathon G. Koomey’s recently released and highly publicized report, “Growth in Data Center Electricity Use: 2005 to 2010” is nothing like other reports that have warned that power consumption in data centers is out of control. In the past five years, we have seen article after article extrapolating from an earlier Koomey publication and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Report to Congress, suggesting that total U.S. data center energy consumption is now at 3 to 5 percent or more of total U.S. use.
Much has been said about the energy efficiency
of higher three-phase alternating current (ac) voltages as well as direct
current (dc) solutions for data centers.
