Data Centres Benefiting From Going Green As the cost of electricity rises around the world, data centres are faced with rising costs in one of the biggest expenditures they have. So reducing this cost has become an important issue. And reducing power consumption is one area that can have a large impact on a data

Can I use  the Eziblank at the rear of my rack? Yes, Eziblank panels are valuable for rear mounting as they provide a barrier for hot air at the rear stopping recirculation and improving the flow of hot air out of the rack. So Eziblank panels when fitted at the front and rear, will enhance

Can we have the pMon software on our laptops and load data up to it for demo purposes

Why Pmon is not available in wireless? It could be problematic and can be unreliable depending on the environment

How do data centres measure efficiency? We know IT performance improves dramatically each year, but what is the specific measure for this performance? The concept of compute units per second (CUPS), is a relative measure of server output, based on average server performance. Another way to understand what CUPS represents is to think of it

A co-location centre is a type of data centre whereby resources such as rack space and bandwidth are shared — thus the name “co-location”. Generally, colocation data centres are administered by dedicated hosts, and customers rent the rack space and bandwidth for a set cost. As a result, co-location has become a popular choice for

Data centres may take up a single room of a building, an entire floor, or even the whole building. Generally, the equipment comes in the form of 19-inch rack cabinets where servers are mounted. In order to enable easy access to the front and back of each, the cabinets tend to be placed in “aisles”

In the political world, the argument over whether or not climate change is real is a bitter one. However, in the scientific world, there is a consensus that the world is in fact warming, and that we need to take steps to fix this for the good of the planet. Still, there are many skeptics

In the early Nineties, the United Nations created the Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) treaty, the objective of which is to stabilise greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere to combat the dangerous effects of global warming. One of the chief methods that has been implemented around the world is the introduction of carbon taxes

With the potentially devastating effects of global warming becoming more and more apparent, governments around the world are encouraging businesses to take steps to lower their carbon emissions. In fact, with carbon taxes being introduced, businesses will have even more incentive to reduce their carbon footprint, which is basically defined as the total amount of
