We look at things differently: from the bottom up. Often overlooked and underappreciated, the physical infrastructure has become more critical as networks converge, higher-powered computing equipment is developed, and business needs increase the demand for data…NOW!

Hertz Corporation Case Study
Hertz Corporation needed a solution that would accommodate the essential requirements associated with establishing future-proof data centers as well as one that would help the company run its centers as efficiently as possible for complete optimization. In conjunction with this solution, Hertz needed a solutions provider that understood their commitment to customer service levels, quality, and reliability and could address their ultimate goals by accurately assessing their needs. Reliability and high availability are critical to Hertz’s worldwide operations, and the upgrade could only occur without interruption or delays. Read more… |

According to Gartner, the rise in big data is one of the forces that will change IT. The proliferation of data is accelerating, and most IT departments are not prepared to handle the demands of managing and storing so much data. At the same time, corporate data centers are ill-equipped to handle the flood, driving the need to consolidate and optimize the physical infrastructure. Read more... |

As companies begin to pilot cloud projects or deploy it in earnest, data center managers are discovering that migrating the data center to the cloud is not as simple as they had imagined. The cloud does reduce to some degree the amount of computing hardware a company needs for its data center. But many fail to consider that the cloud requires a robust physical infrastructure to maximize the expected benefits. Many executives are discovering too late that they did not focus enough on physical infrastructure design prior to the move to the cloud. This can jeopardize cloud deployments before they begin.

Proper airflow and thermal management are the most critical aspects of designing and operating your data center, ensuring uptime of applications, consistent IT equipment performance and efficient operations. In the past, data center managers would over supply a room with cold air to address small hot spots and perceived requirements for cooling the data center. Typical rack densities averaged 3 – 5 kW, thus the cooling requirements were moderate. Very few data center managers were pushing the envelope on operational efficiencies. They were smoothing over the imperfections. Read more... |

Many IT professionals believe that they need to start from scratch when designing their IT infrastructure because their business needs are unique and require specific strategies for a successful implementation. However, having a reference architecture in place simplifies decision making because it provides an initial blueprint that allows you to quickly develop multiple reference designs from the same architecture based on your business needs. With a solid reference architecture, you have the ability to modify the design for your business requirements, and understand how next generation technologies will advance your data center or enterprise to support future needs.

Common Sense: Solution to Make Your Data Center Energy Efficient
Energy efficiency is a life style. It’s also common sense. In a data center, the name of the game is efficiency and how many compute operations you can get for a given amount of power. You can change the numerator: Get more compute for your energy dollars or you can change the denominator |

It seems strange that a data center would have trouble with overheating when around the globe many countries have cold air a majority of the year. A recent ASHRAE white paper demonstrates how in the Chicago area, the dry bulb temperatures are below 20°C (68°F) for roughly 5,000 to 6,000 hours per year. That’s nearly two-thirds of the year where the temperature would permit some form of free cooling. Read more... |
