Industry Perspectives: Thought Leadership

Industry Perspectives is a new editorial content channel at Data Center Knowledge highlighting thought leadership in the data center arena. It provides industry professionals with the opportunity to contribute articles sharing their insight and expertise with our audience. More than 125,000 data center professionals visit Data Center Knowledge each month to stay informed as they plan, design, build and equip world class data centers.

Our focus is education and thought leadership, rather than marketing. This is an opportunity to share your expertise or prompt discussion on important issue facing the data center industry. Submissions are welcome on any topic, but we are particularly keen on content related to these areas:

• Industry best practices
• Data center design
• Cloud computing
• Energy efficiency
• Measurement and metrics
• Next-generation technologies
• Regulatory updates

Each Industry Perspectives article will feature the author’s head shot and bio, which can include a link to a company home page or personal blog. Submissions can be as long as is needed to convey the core message, but 500 to 750 words is a good target length.

The quality of a contributed article is the most important factor. We will not publish submissions that do not meet the guidelines and criteria outlined on this page. We also may edit submissions for length or clarity, but will consult with our contributors on any changes.

Our goal is for your Industry Perspectives submission to highlight your expertise, enlighten and inform our readers, and advance discussion on the many important challenges facing the industry.

Industry Perspectives submissions are for the use of Data Center Knowledge and its readers. While you’re welcome to write on the same topic elsewhere, our hope is that posts that appear on Industry Perspectives don’t appear in the exact same form elsewhere.

If you or your company are interested in participating in Industry Perspectives, please e-mail us with any questions and/or a description of your submission proposal. Please use “Industry Perspectives” in the subject line of your e-mail.
