This white paper provides an overview of free cooling for data centers. It consists of a general description of free cooling and an explanation of different available free cooling solutions, as well as their strengths and weaknesses. The term “free cooling” is equivalent to the term “economizer” that is nowadays predominantly used in the North American region.

This paper proposes standard terminology for categorizing the types of prefabricated modular data centers, defines and compares their key attributes, and provides a framework for choosing the best approach(es) based on business requirements.

This white paper provides a quantitative TCO analysis of the two architectures, and illustrates the key drivers of both the capex and opex savings of the improved architecture.

In this paper, we focus on quantifying the capital cost differences of a prefabricated vs. traditional 440 kW data center, both built with the same power and cooling architecture, in order to highlight the key cost drivers, and to demonstrate that prefabrication does not come at a capex premium.

The tipping point has arrived. Large enterprises are planning their next-generation datacenters around flash-based storage, and for good reason. Flash arrays provide read and write performance that is orders of magnitude faster than spinning media at a total cost of ownership that is on par with disk and will soon be lower. The benefits not only include improved application performance, but more consistent performance, lower latency, reduced storage footprint, streamlined storage administration, and lower operating costs. These advantages are too beneficial to your business to ignore. That’s why flash is becoming the standard for new storage investments.

Pour une entreprise type, le volume de données devant être gérées et protégées augmente d'environ 40 % par an. Ajoutez à cela les exigences de performances des nouvelles applications, de temps de réponse instantanés, de disponibilité continue et d'accès en tout lieu et en tout temps. Avec de telles exigences, les responsables des datacenters sont confrontés à des défis de stockage qui ne peuvent pas être relevés à l'aide de technologies de disques rotatifs traditionnelles.

L’agilité nécessaire à la transformation en profondeur de l’entreprise ne peut être atteinte qu’en adoptant la modernisation du datacenter en tant que compétence principale. À cette fin, disposer d’une infrastructure IT parfaitement à jour et capable de prendre en charge l’étendue et la complexité d’un environnement technologique changeant est essentiel. Pour satisfaire cet impératif, les sociétés doivent adopter les principes du datacenter géré via une base logicielle, s’engager dans la modernisation et automatiser leurs processus de gestion informatique. Ce faisant, elles accéléreront l’innovation et proposeront des expériences client de qualité supérieure avec des technologies métiers rapides, sécurisées et fiables. En décembre 2018, Dell Technologies a chargé Forrester Consulting d’évaluer les principaux atouts d’une infrastructure moderne dans les datacenters des sociétés. Pour apporter des éléments de réponse, Forrester a mené une enquête en ligne auprès de 508 décideurs en matiè

Traditional security measures such as network firewalls are no longer enough to keep an enterprise secure. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, security mechanisms are incorporated and applied at the core of every solution, and security is extended to include all the open source packages that make up Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As a result, customers experience a higher quality of service.

This paper considers how IT must meet the challenge of devising a datacenter strategy that transforms the datacenter for a multicloud world.

Linux has proven to be a key element for successful datacenter modernization. Red Hat Enterprise Linux delivers cross-architecture standardization to a single operating system (OS) and provides a target platform for migrating mission critical workloads. For more information on Red Hat Enterprise Linux datacenter modernization watch the webinar here.

Nearly all datacenters in enterprise IT organizations have areas where efficiency can be improved. IDC study shows: Meadian efficiency in enterprise IT: People 50%, Process 30% and Technology 50%

The leading open source platform for modern datacenters

Datacenters are the factories of the Internet age, just like warehouses, assembly lines, and machine shops were for the industrial age. Over the course of the past several years, riding the wave of modernization, datacenters have become the heart and soul of the financial industry, which each year invests over $480 billion in datacenter infrastructure of hardware, software, networks, and security and services.

While enterprises continue to own and operate in-house datacenters, their use of colocation and other outsourcing services is growing fast. Demand for colocation and wholesale datacenters, with their readily available space and power, their professional operations teams and, increasingly, their rich connectivity and value-added offerings, has never been stronger. 451 Research forecasts that the operational square footage of the global colocation and wholesale sector will grow at a healthy 7% CAGR from 2017 to 2020.

To win the colocation race you need to be faster, reliable, innovative and efficient –all while making smarter design choices that will ensure positive returns. Customers are demanding 100% uptime and always-on connectivity –be it small enterprises to large Internet Giants–and colocation providers need to meet these expectations. The growing adoption of prefabricated data centers allows just that. With the undisputed benefits of prefab modules and building components(like speed or quality),colocation providers can manage their business today, and deploy faster in the future. Chris Crosby, CEO for Compass Datacenters, is well-known for his expertise in the data center industry. From its founding in 2012, Compass’ data center solutions have used prefabricated components like exterior walls and power centers to deliver brandable, dedicated facilities for colocation providers. Prefabrication is the central element of the company’s “Kit of Parts” methodology that delivers customizable data center solutions from the core to the edge. By attending this webinar, colocation providers will: • understand the flexibility and value delivered via the use of prefabricated construction • Hear the common misperceptions regarding prefabricated modules and data center components • learn how prefabricated solutions can provide more revenue generation capability than competing alternatives • know what key things to consider when evaluating prefabricated data center design

All companies, small and large, grapple with infrastructure growth and IT modernization. For many companies, datacenter infrastructure has become an essential part of a hybrid cloud environment that allows users to consume internal and external resources seamlessly. This, in turn, is helping modernize today's datacenters and drive new levels of agility, productivity, and scale. A common attribute of modern datacenter infrastructure is solutions that provide all compute and data services as a single system that can be managed holistically at a rack scale. IDC refers to such solutions as converged infrastructure.

he WAN has always been about connecting users to applications and moving data, but the playing field has now changed with datacenters migrating to the cloud along with missioncritical applications. .

Solid state storage is increasingly deployed in all sizes of datacenters, from the small and medium business to the large enterprise. It comes in many forms including hybrid arrays, direct attached drives, PCIe flash and accelerators that fit somewhere in between servers and storage. With the price of flash continuing to drop, hybrid storage is becoming more compelling to the small and medium business for critical computing applications such as databases and day-to-day operational computing.

At long last, datacenters have a more efficient high-availability deployment option for application delivery controllers. According to new research, that’s welcome news among IT leaders.

Today’s enterprise IT organizations require more flexible IT services, greater capacity, and faster service delivery. Watch this webinar and learn more about 5 transformative areas that can make IT operations more efficient: • System standardization • Architectural flexibility • Automation of updates and maintenance • Greater productivity • Access and control
