Data centers house crucial technology. While these environments protect equipment, they also face significant challenges. Data center equipment constantly generates heat, which can impair functioning if not controlled properly. Excess heat can cause servers to shut down or shorten their entire life spans. Cooling solutions combat heat build-up, allowing data centers to function properly. One […]
Data centers secure data for businesses, allowing for efficient transmission and storage. As data volumes grow, it’s essential for companies to choose secure and well-maintained facilities. Ideal data centers have more than enough computing power, storage space and networking abilities. Data centers’ physical designs impact their functioning. You need proper facility flooring to maintain a […]
According to estimates, data centers account for approximately 1% of global energy consumption. To lessen that consumption, hyperscale data centers, typically owned by Big Tech corporations, are pioneering new energy-efficient data center technologies at a rapid pace. For example, many are investing in renewable power sources like hydrogen fuel cells, wind and solar to create […]
Today’s data centers are radically different from the computer rooms of the 1940s, and they have very different needs. Until the rise of the internet and client-server computing in the ’90s, data centers were largely reserved for military operations. Now, with businesses in every industry depending on fast internet connectivity and round-the-clock uptime, data centers […]
Temperature sensors are a necessity in modern data centers due to the sheer amount of heat data center equipment generates.

System failure can be disastrous for a data center — and it’s only getting more expensive. According to the Uptime Institute, 60% of system failures cause more than $100,000 in damages. That’s a dramatic increase from 2019, when only 39% of failures exceeded $100,000. For many companies, outages are a “when” rather than an “if.” […]
As your business evolves, so too must its data lifecycle management and cloud adoption operations. Undertaking a comprehensive, scalable data center (DC) relocation is an imperative part of that lifecycle — and one that’s arguably inevitable, given the lighting-quick developments in storage technology and the reign of the cloud. How To Create a Data Center […]
