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. 

Access this exclusive resource to discover the efficiency benefits of containment and learn about the differences between hot-air and cold-air strategies. 

Smart information technology (IT) practices reduce the environmental impact of conducting business, and help small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) reduce expenses. 

Constant product innovation has contributed to a thriving equipment-manufacturing industry, however, fewer time-saving tools are available to QA than developer groups. As a result, testing is becoming an innovation barrier. This paper examines the innovation barrier: its causes, effects, & what’s needed to restore the vigorous pace of innovation. 

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.
