Power Assure CTO lays out recommendations to maximize reliability and disaster avoidance in Software Defined Data Centers.

This Friday Funny is more fun than funny, since it takes facility managers on a little journey to illustrate the effectiveness of energy savings in data centers.

From “chicken coops” to cathedrals, today’s data centers come in new shapes and sizes.

This service measures the true idle and peak power consumption of IT equipment in a rack or entire data center to maximize IT power and address space constraints.

An assessment of power, cooling, physical infrastructure, and operational efficiencies of data centers provides information managers can act upon.

When making the move to a centralized data center, facility managers must ask five important questions. In the end, connectivity is one of the most critical components in data center performance.

Broad minded and methodical, this IT professional brings a fresh approach to facilities.

Data centers are not the typical backdrop for humor, but a few years back, an ad campaign took a poke at the temperature issues inherent in server rooms packed wall to wall with essential computer technology.

Businesses operating data centers will need to go beyond traditional practices in order to build economically sound facilities.

The need for the standard's requirements has grown as more attention is paid to improving energy in the country's current building stock. Public review is open until May 25, 2011.

This new unit provides conditioned, continuous backup power to facility managers' mission critical applications.

Power, HVAC, and access control are vital to a data center, and the fm has responsibility for all of these areas.

This cooling product for data centers is designed to provide cooling in the most efficient manner for existing conditions.

This Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform is aimed at enabling data center managers to make smarter decisions about efficiency, availability, and capacity.

Emerson Network Power offers a list of "Best Practices to Avoid Data Center Failure by Human Error."

Only by investing in new energy projects while simultaneously reducing consumption can we avert the “economic, resource and ecological time bombs” just waiting to go off, says Tishman Technologies Executive Vice President Ronald Bowman.

Written to complement existing standards, BICSI 002 includes requirements, recommendations, and additional information—such as site selection, layout, thermal systems, and security—that should be considered when planning and building a data center.

To improve cooling, data center managers can identify four critical temperatures. Here is a short, simple, yet definitive, method of quantifying the energy/air flow status of your data center. Improvement is possible without having to tear down and build new.

The slowing economy is having very little effect on demand for IT services, while driving improvements in energy efficiency and resource utilization, according to a recently released report.

The new uninterruptible power supply (UPS) from APC by Schneider Electric is designed to meet the needs of many environments.
