Information Technology innovations and the Internet of Things (IoT) are fueling data creation. Today, there are approximately 10 billion IoT devices in the world, and that number is expected to hit 75 billion by 2025. With so many connected devices, it is no wonder the amount of data created each day continues to spike upward. Recent estimates predict IoT-generated data will reach 73.1 zettabytes (ZB) by 2025—a 422% increase… Read More
Microsoft’s Tiny Data Center Liquid Cooling Experiment Is a Big Deal. It’s even bigger than that time its researchers sunk a submarine-like data center in the ocean. It’s running production workloads. But the rack of servers submerged in engineered fluid inside a Microsoft data center in Quincy, Washington, is still somewhat of a science project, similar in its purpose to Project Natick, the hermetically sealed computer-filled capsule the company’s R&D… Read More
Scaling Smart: 6 Keys to a Successful Data Center Deployment As your organization grows, so do your IT infrastructure needs. Many companies outgrow a small server room and find themselves preparing to deploy into a midsize data center or colocation facility. But scaling isn’t just about adding more gear—it’s about doing it right. Data center deployment is complex. You’re integrating a mix of hardware platforms, conventional servers, networking equipment, and… Read More
Server rack installation in your data center can be complicated. Thorough planning and thoughtful preparation are both key components for ensuring a successful, hassle-free installation experience. The following are essential guidelines when preparing an installation or data center move. Make a plan: Which coworkers will be impacted by a server rack installation or move? Collaborate with them so they can schedule their projects accordingly. Anticipate possible expansion: During the server… Read More
