Before we start, let us be clear about one thing: environmental monitoring and measurement systems are critical components in managing…

This blog was posted on behalf of Jeff Brickley, Director, Data Center Services at DCIM Solutions LLC, and is part-1 of a series of blog posts about predictive simulation for the data center. …

Data centers are critical operations. The business impact of changes to the data center – like any other business critical operation – needs to be known before making the change. The Virtual Facility is a simulator that predicts the business impact of changes to the data center. This greatly reduces risk and improves IT and capacity planning.

Data centers are referred as Internet’s core. The computer servers that influences internet call these centers their accommodation. If you wonder of how many billions of online transactions that take place every day you will surely be amazed to know that the final destination where all these transactions are stored is nothing else but a…

India is confined to witness the growth in the operations of data center owing to the strong demand for IT services not only in domestic market, but also in the international market. The IT industry of India has attained an imperative progress in recent years, which is supported by strong…

In today’s highly competitive environment, any business- be it small, large or medium- can be successful only if it maintains the business continuity, which as a result, is largely dependent on the automated data handling systems. In the after-effect of recent natural and other disasters, companies have expanded their investments for the fiercely secure storage and retrieval systems for their business-critical data.…

Being a business owner, what do you think should be on priority? Infrastructure? Resources? Well, these elements are also very important. But most of all, business critical data is all that matters. Hence, it is very significant that you take necessary steps for the protection of data. Again, the question arises “what is the best way to achieve this target” and the best solution here is remote…

This paper, written for CxOs and senior managers in the data center owner-operator business, describes how Future Facilities’ ACE performance score and predictive modeling were…

We have recently seen a number of organizations trying to improve their energy and cost performance by applying PUE targets to site operations teams (here is an example from the Australian Government). Whilst these are intended to be a…

There has been a recent flurry of activity around Data Center energy Productivity (DCeP) as an efficiency metric for data centers which has been proposed by a global taskforce, consisting of the Green Grid, along with two US government agencies…

Many designers and operators attempt to optimize their new or upgraded site for the greatest amount of “free”, economized cooling operation. This has been given great emphasis in recent years by the publication of free cooling maps which show how…

Numerous organizations have no any solutions to recover your important data from any disaster and they don't have any slant of getting any plans. They are thinking that there are noting happened with its data which stored on their systems, on other way they neglect any disaster which crash its data. Generally organizations additionally feel that there is just an insignificant chance that they will experience any issues with their files while others guess that the delicate information they…

The sheer complexity of new data center builds that respond to external conditions etc have meant that the traditional skills of the operation team cannot be relied on to squeeze the maximum efficiency out of their new or upgraded facility. Some far-sighted design engineers now invite the operations team to the Integrated Systems Test (IST), but we don’t feel…

As the race to design ever more energy-efficient datacentres heats up, IT industry players large and small are engaged in efforts to reduce the sector’s carbon footprint and improve energy efficiency (see panel below).

But although the IT industry has profound commercial, regulatory and sustainability incentives to develop more efficient datacentre technologies, arguably the biggest energy savings to be made come not from the design of servers, semiconductors and other IT…

A proactive approach for a reactive system: Predictive modeling for DCIM

During the fifth edition of Open Compute Summit, Jon Koomey (Research Fellow, Stanford University) moderated a Keynote Panel titled “…

Uptime Institute congratulates the winners of the first annual Brill Awards for Efficient IT. 



In the judgment of more than 90 industry professionals who evaluated project submissions from leading enterprises around the world, these projects best exhibited efficiency in data center and IT operations in the broadest…

Can you manage what you can’t measure? Is monitoring your data center really the same as modeling it? Do you make IT changes, then cross your fingers that they’ll work?

There’s an old adage that you can’t manage what you can’t measure. As data center operators flock to DCIM to gather more and more information about their facilities, there’s a danger…

The meeting was not going well. An argument had broken out between the Chief Engineer of Edifices, the firm that had designed and built the flagship data center and the CFO of TheDifferenceEngines.com, which had commissioned the build.

‘You promised me a class-leading levels of energy efficiency; instead the data center is using thousands of dollars of…
