Although most enterprises today have multiple IT providers, it is worthwhile for large organizations to consider consolidating data center support processes under just one multinational provider.
Many data centers supply cooling far in excess of what is required or have problems distributing cooling where it is really needed. The most cited cause for such inefficient cooling is a phenomenon known as mixing, in which cool and warm air mix...
This white paper from Movincool examines the benefits of using ceiling-mount air conditioners to keep server rooms and closets cool inside heated buildings.
High-density equipment within data center infrastructure is becoming more common, and yet many data centers are not adequately equipped to handle the additional cooling requirements. Because of this, cooling issues such as recirculation and...
This white paper from Emerson provides a detailed overview of cloud computing technology, detailing common types of cloud architectures and services as well as driving factors and perceived risks impacting widespread adoption.
A new white paper from StarLine examines harmonics and their significance to power flow. It goes on to detail options to mitigate harmonics and their costs in order to balance the real harmonic load against the cost of the solution.
This white paper from Raritan answers some of the most challenging questions associated with energy management while providing detailed explanations of how to correct some of the most common false assumptions regarding power consumption in the...
With the advances of virtualization and cloud computing, IT is now changing focus, moving away from cost optimization and focusing on improving business processes and transforming their operating models and infrastructure into environments...
Power efficiency is becoming a primary concern to data centers. Advances in server equipment technologies and computing power have led to higher load densities in the computer room, making energy efficiency of high importance to data center...
Keeping temperature-sensitive IT equipment cool in heated buildings during the winter months has become critical. This white paper from MovinCool examines the benefits of using ceiling-mount air conditioners to keep server rooms and closets cool...
