It is no surprise then that data center security management, with increasingly stringent company requirements and industry regulations, is a top priority for modern data center professionals. Basic, low-level protection is no longer adequate for the complexities of modern data center environments, and data center managers need to ensure their security, while still allowing technicians and contractors the access...

Save money. Cooling costs are one of the biggest concerns of data center managers. Around half the power...

Cable management in the data center is a complex task that, when done improperly, can lead to “spaghetti” cabinets, difficult equipment installations, and prolonged troubleshooting and maintenance time. Poor cable management can also create an unsafe operation environment by restricting airflow to racks, trapping dust, and keeping cables too warm. More organizations are realizing that they need to instill good cable management behaviors across their data center environments.
Among the cable management best practices, perhaps the most basic and easiest to implement is accurately labeling cables. According to Building Industry Consulting Service International (BICSI), applying consistent label...
