Data-center facilities of all sizes rely on a steady, reliable, and well-maintained electrical power system. Even small electrical failures or faults can have devastating consequences, including extensive operational downtime and the expense of locating and repairing damaged equipment.
An intelligently integrated metering infrastructure can play a vi-tal role in the process of increasing energy efficiency in high-performance computing facilities.
Because data centers and other high-performance computing (HPC) facilities can use up to 50 times the electricity of equivalent-size office buildings, they are prime candidates for energy-efficient design and retrofit measures to slash energy consumption and operating costs.
Future Facilities North America has launched a significant update to its predictive modeling suite, 6SigmaDC. Release 8 delivers predictive modeling of data center environments five to six times faster than the previous versions.
SoniTech’s NDT pipe inspection service uses ultrasonic localized guided wave testing to test pipes in mission critical facilities for corrosion buildup
So here we are at the end of another year — by the time you read this you may have already completed your 2014 plans and budget requests (as well as your fallback budgets and plans).
Many corporations and other large operations that previously would only consider owning and operating their own data centers are now considering moving at least parts of their enterprise into collocation sites.
