Today’s organizations face an unending stream of requests for IT resource capacity to store and process the data and applications necessary to support innovative technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning. This has a massive impact on modern data center environments and drives their ever-increasing complexity and density.
Although technological advancements in intelligent rack PDUs and compute devices often provide greater efficiency, the energy cost to power a single server rack in a data center in the US can be as high as almost $30,000 a year depending on its configuration. In a data center with 100 cabinets, the cost to po...

Colocation data center use is on the rise. In fact, according to 451 Research, nearly half of all enterprises plan on increasing their use of colocation services over the next two years.
In our recent webinar Best Practices for Remotely Managing Your Colo Infrastructure, Tom Wysocki, Data Center Manager, KPMG shared that they use colocation data centers to increase floor space at a much lower cost, provide greater scalability of power, increase the tier rating of their data center, and reduce the effort and time of having to manage and maintain mechanical equipment and use that time to focus on the actual data center infrastructure.
“One big factor,” Wysocki explained, “is getting colocation...

Traditionally, Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software has primarily been focused on simplifying data center asset and space capacity management. While point tools like Excel spreadsheets and Visio diagrams were difficult to use, hard to maintain, and error-prone, data center managers found success in leveraging DCIM software to maintain an accurate inventory of data center assets in real-time and to help boost space capacity utilization and reduce stranded capacity.
But as modern data centers grow increasingly complex and higher in density, another use case is driving more and more data center managers to deploy DCIM software in their environments: the need to track and manage...

Data center rack densities are on the rise, and that trend is only going to continue. According to a survey conducted last year by 451 Research of 750 enterprise data center users, 45% of companies expect to have an average density of 11 kW per rack or higher within a year. For comparison, in a similar survey from 2014, only 18% of respondents reported rack densities above 10 kW.
High-density data centers can be very beneficial to organizations, but they come with unique data center management challenges that need to be addressed in order to avoid hot spots, tripped circuit breakers, and other potential incidents that may cause service-impacting downtime.
What is a High-Density Data Center...
