The weigh-up of the cost effectiveness of a single traditional data centre of one MW capacity against a cluster of micro data centres each of 5kW.

There is still a significant proportion of the market that will still continue to use VRLA, and lead-acid battery technology is also improving.

Now folks are learning that you may well be better off building at a slightly higher cost per MW, but in smaller chunks.

Schneider Electric revolutionises data centres with Infrastructure Management as a Service, paving the way for a nimbler IT future.

Today's digital economy is driving unprecedented data center growth as businesses manage an increasing volume of data generated by IoT.

One benefit of incorporating both on-premise DCIM and IMaaS is the possibility of performing predictive maintenance.

When commonly available voltages and breaker sizes are considered, optimum pod configurations emerge that make planning and design easier.

For centralised data centres, including the latest hyperscale facilities, there is a need to develop larger increments of IT resource, known as Pods.

Schneider Electric, a global organisation that specialises in energy management and automation, is one of the companies that made the list.

Automated monitoring has moved front and center as too few human resources are available to manage the large quantities of information coming in.

The industry is undergoing a third transformational phase: a retrenchment, and even a renewed growth, of enterprise on-premise data centers.

Telco facilities typically have an ideal location, possess digital technology with connectivity in place and own central offices with available space.

Cloud Computing's Preakness win prompts a data centre insider's race to draw parallels with tech and risk management in the field.

Schneider Electric pioneers data centre gamification, promising efficiency gains and cost savings with innovative management tools.

Countries around the globe are taking definitive steps to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and, consequently, their carbon footprint.

Cloud adoption is driving the need to rethink the redundancy requirements of edge data centers, says Kevin Brown of Schneider Electric.

To stay alive, human beings need air, food and water. If you are college student, add to this list of vital resources Internet access.

But for me, the most interesting aspects of the research is in unpacking the impact of a range of data center problems on the business itself.

Until now, I had always pictured colocation as a large warehouse for IT equipment and not a platform that would support smaller scale implementations.

The spectrum for how to modernize an existing data center is quite wide, and the cost/benefit scenarios differ.
