This resource examines the causes of today’s data center power and cooling crisis and outlines 5 steps businesses can take to remove inefficiencies from their power and cooling infrastructure. 

This paper explores how you can optimize UPS availability by focusing on minimizing repair time and maximizing redundancy, both inside your UPSs and across your power protection initiatives. Also learn why modular UPS designs provide superior availability even though they typically contain more parts that could potentially fail. 

This white paper recommends a specific virtualization architecture and explores its key characteristics and capabilities. Discover the risks of virtualizing older servers and learn how to avoid them here. 

Many enterprises today are looking to cut expenses, reduce the number of physical servers operated and optimise system flexibility in order to effectively meet business requirements. This white paper examines how one IT consulting company implemented Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V technology to enhance data centre operations. 

A look at alternative approaches to managing energy for cost and/or sustainability reasons in data centres. 

Virtualization can have major consequences on the data center physical infrastructure (DCPI). Higher power densities can challenge the cooling capabilities of an existing system. Reduced energy consumption may actually worsen the data center's power usage effectiveness (PUE). Learn more about the particular effects of virtualization inside. 

This paper describes how the physical and power infrastructure of data centers and network rooms is typically oversized by more than 100%. Statistics related to oversizing are also presented, as well as the costs and fundamental reasons why oversizing occurs. An architecture and method for avoiding oversizing is described. 

The pressure to improve data center efficiency is nothing new. In fact, this demand has been growing for over a decade. This resource describes the key elements of effective IT management and compares the offerings of two key players in the market. 

By helping your data center more accurately visualize and control energy use, you'll reclaim facility capacity and optimize energy use en route to reducing costs for your organization. Read this white paper for the details.
