Considering the state of the world right now, I think it’s the perfect time to envision the way we want our futures to look once COVID-19 is safely behind us.
We've compiled a list of some of our most recent articles, podcasts, and product releases focused on the COVID-19 pandemic and how the industry is adapting to the new normal, working to stop the spread of the disease, and — simultaneously — maintaining operations.
Right now, facility managers are tasked with maintaining maximum uptime and high availability. Though this may seem like a typical day in the data center, it’s not.

There are pros and cons to everything, and colocation is no exception. Though it may be a relatively new concept to the data center world, it definitely wasn’t born yesterday. Other industries have been building their business models around the idea of colocation for quite some time.
I’m sure you noticed a different face on this page, but I still want to take up a few lines here to introduce myself. My name is Amy Al-Katib, and I am the new editor-in-chief for Mission Critical magazine.
The nominations for the 2019 Mission Critical Magazine Facility Manager of the Year are now open at https://bit.ly/2LSdJGq. The nomination period runs until August 31, 2019.
It seems just like yesterday when Steve Carlini of Schneider Electric was telling me about the company’s products for edge data centers, a term I hadn’t heard of until then.
