In recent years, data center infrastructure has become significantly more reliable and management practices have improved, so it would be fair to expect that the number of reported downtime incidents is decreasing. But this isn’t the case.
According to a 2018 survey by Uptime Institute, 31% of respondents experienced a downtime incident or severe degradation in the last year and 48% reported at least one outage at their site or at a service provider in the last three years.
Downtime is expensive. It costs both time and money and can have grave consequences for organizations that are not sufficiently prepared. According to Gartner, downtime costs $5,600 per minute on average. This results in...

Power Capacity Planning
The complexity of accurately planning and managing rack power capacity is a struggle for many modern data center managers. The traditional methods of capacity planning are unreliable and time-consuming, which led to many organizations turning to legacy Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software vendors that promised simplification but in reality provided nothing of the sort. In fact, according to 451 Research, capacity planning and power monitoring are the top two benefits data center managers want from their DCIM tool, but 25% of them deemed their product a failure and 10% ultimately abandoned their DCIM altogether.
In our recent webinar titled “Power Capacity Planning Made Easy...

In 2019, data center managers have seen several significant changes in data center management that present opportunities to improve and challenges to overcome. An increased focus on capacity planning, software-defined infrastructure, and edge data centers are just a few of the things data center managers must think about as they look towards 2020.
As 2019 comes to a close, let’s look back at 10 of the year’s trends in data center management and what data center managers can do now to stay on top of them in the next year.
Capacity planning and management. Simplifying power capacity planning and management is one of the top concerns of data center managers. The traditional method of power c...

As rack densities rise and business demands increase, data center managers are pressured to reduce operating expenses and increase efficiencies. Since cooling infrastructure can account for roughly half of total data center power, it is necessary to properly manage airflow in order to improve efficiency. According to a study by the Uptime Institute, the cooling capacity in data centers is 2.6 times what is required to meet the IT requirement. There is clearly room for improvement.
The goal of data center airflow management is to improve the air temperature at the intake of IT equipment by reducing the highest temperatures so that all intake temperatures are as low and even as possible while...
