Our 2020 podcast season kicks off with a series of shows based on DCF’s annual forecast, which we call “Eight Trends That Will Shape the Data Center in 2020.”
New Technology Shifting the Distributed IT and Edge Management Landscape
The role of distributed IT is shifting. This is true for retail locations, branch offices, university campuses or manufacturing plants, and has been for a while. But these days, with almost every organization becoming more digitized, “the number of these sites is increasing, and their role is changing,” said Vertiv. A new white paper from Vertiv outlines how connectivity, cloud computing, big data and mobile applications can work together to enable a new service paradigm for remote sites that increases visibility, reduces downtime and supports optimization of these vital IT resources.
Data Centers Find Their Edge: DCIM Solutions Prove Key
Jeff Klaus, General Manager of Intel Data Center Management Solutions, explores how for remote facilities at the edge of the network, DCIM Solutions are key to supporting enterprise Internet of Things (IoT) and big data.
What Mary Meeker Predicts About the Future of Data Centers
Many of the key trends highlighted by venture capitalist Mary Meeker in her Internet Trends report will boost demand for data centers and cloud computing.
Enabling Reliable Digital Hospitals — Building a Stronger, More Resilient IT Infrastructure
Over the years, the expansion of IT and numerous technologies in medical imaging scanners has made room for their evolution into powerful new devices used for diagnostics and interventional radiology. Download the new white paper from Vertiv that helps to properly size the physical infrastructure when medical imaging and diagnostic equipment will be used, with a focus on power and cooling systems in today’s increasingly digital hospitals.
Data Tonnage: Managing the Coming M2M Tsunami
The growth of machine-to-machine (M2M) data is projected to escalate rapidly in the next five years. Edge computing can play an important role in data ingest, accepting data from devices and creating a richer two-way flow of information across the network.
Natural Language Processing: The Bridge Between Man and Machine
Natural language processing (NLP) is a type of artificial intelligence that allows machines to understand meaning behind various speech processes. Bill Kleyman looks at considerations in using NLP in your IT operations.
A Deep Dive Into Data Lakes
Data lakes are centralized storage and data repositories that allow you to work with a variety of different types of data. Bill Kleyman looks at why data lakes matter, and how you can use them in your business.
Online Video is Everywhere, and Filling Up Data Centers
Video content is increasingly delivered over the Internet or other online service, and stored in data centers. Video data is just one of the many data streams filling cloud data centers. Here’s a look at what lies ahead.
Defining Four Edge Computing Archetypes and their Technology Requirements
Over the last several years, “edge computing” has become one of the most talked about trends in IT, and for good reason. Nearly every industry is recognizing the limitations of supporting users and emerging technologies through centralized IT infrastructures and is pushing storage and computing closer to users and devices. Download the new white paper from Vertiv to learn more about edge computing and the four edge archetypes the company has identified.
