This month we are running three different application stories. We usually like to include a mix of application and technical articles, but these three stories were compelling and not only presented different challenges
Check out a roundtable discussion on the technical details of integrated management systems with Envirotrol’s CEO Jeff Farlow (JF), Dennis Cronin (DC), COO at Steel Orca and Mission Critical columnist; and John Diamond (JD), co-founder of DAS Associates.
Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) has become the big “must have” on the data center project list despite the ongoing weak economic environment, or perhaps because of it.
A twist on traditional combined cooling, heat, and power (CCHP) systems makes trigeneration technology more accessible for mission critical facilities in the 1 MW to 20 MW range.
Historically, there are four primary reasons that enterprise data centers haven’t widely adopted combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) tech-nology: up-front cost, consistent quality, scalability, and finding effective uses for waste heat.
An old economic adage says “there is no such thing as a free lunch.” This saying was responsive to a common practice among nineteenth century pre-prohibition bars that provided a spread of food to draw lunchtime drinkers.
The move is designed to support power needs of the global mission-critical industry.

GE has unveiled its new Critical Power business to provide mission-critical facilities with end-to-end solutions to keep electricity flowing to crucial equipment during power disturbances and outages.
Both the business-minded head and the socially responsible heart of the data center industry know the industry needs an alternative power source to complement its voracious electricity consumption from the nation's aging, primarily coal-powered grid.
