The Obama administration launched the Federal Data Center Consolidation Initiative (FDCCI) in 2010 as part of an ambitious effort to push the federal government to modernize its aging data centers, IT systems and cyber practices. Despite the slow and often uneven progress toward modernization, realizing the performance, security and savings goals that have been set in the government IT space is possible. This paper from Vertiv explores what it will require to bring the U.S. government fully into the 21st century.

Exploring the Potential of Modular Data Centers
As big data continues to explode, many enterprises have turned to colocation data centers. Among other factors, leasing—as opposed to building or buying a new data center—reduces upfront costs. A new report from Sabey Data Centers explores how a modular data center design can provide the on-demand scaling capabilities enterprises want with the control, reliability and cost-effectiveness they need.
Modular Design in the Colocation Data Center
Many organizations have turned to colocation data centers to help manage capacity requirements more effectively. For starters, leasing—as opposed to building or buying a new data center— reduces upfront costs. Download the new report from Sabey Data Centers that explores how a modular data center design may be the next horizon of colocation technology.
