This paper is the second in a two-part series exploring the innovation barrier – the point at which testing can no longer keep pace with development in the equipment manufacturing industry. It examines the innovation barrier’s symptoms – from slowdowns in development to mounting quality issues – and the potential impact on equipment manufacturers. 

Service providers and network equipment manufacturers are adding automation to their pre-production testing process for a combination of reasons. This Market Snapshot will focus on the need for test automation of networks and connected devices, identify a path to automation adoption and provide an overview of the market. 

This resource examines hot-air and cold-air containment methodologies and highlights the reasons why hot-aisle containment is the preferred best practice for new data centres. 

Learn the answer to three fundamental questions data center managers and business leaders must ask before embarking upon a program to modernize their data centers and make them far more efficient in terms of cost and environmental impact. 

Read this paper for resources to help you determine how much powering and cooling the data center is costing your organization, and learn how the Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 can help reduce these requirements. 

This exclusive resource introduces the concept and evolution of “green IT”, and explores strategies organizations can take to become more energy efficient and improve data center management. 

This exclusive research reveals what IT professionals really think about technology, their employers, and their careers 

One of the first places to look for increased simplicity is in the server infrastructure, where advances in virtualization, scalability and manageability are opening up new paths towards a simpler way of life in the data center of today and tomorrow. Read on to learn about the specific advances that are impacting server strategies. 

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

In the traditional IT approach, every new software application required a new server. This added costs to every project and deployment took days to weeks. This also drove server sprawl. Watch this demo for an animated explanation of how virtualization addresses common data center challenges. 

To improve test coverage without adding more resources, QA groups need a new kind of automation tool. This white paper describes a breakthrough approach to high-tech equipment testing that empowers equipment testers to increase coverage and spend more time on creative testing. 

This white paper will describe the most common types of power disturbances, what can cause them, what they can do to your critical equipment, and how to safeguard your equipment, using the IEEE standards for describing power quality problems
