Even with the best of traditional fire safety detectors, the precise location & source of the potential threat is difficult to pinpoint. Mike Crovo of Viking Integrated Safety, discusses the use of early warning thermal sensors to enhance fire protection in data centers.
Six Ways Edge Computing is Changing the Digital Ecosystem Landscape
The pandemic exposed a nation-wide digital divide. Brad Alexander of DartPoints, outlines how edge computing is bridging that gap and changing the digital ecosystem landscape.
Understanding the Differences Between 5 Common Types of Data Centers
No two are data centers are alike when it comes to design or the applications and data they support with their networking, compute and storage infrastructure. Shad Secrist of Belden outlines the differences between 5 of the most common types of data centers including edge, colocation and hyperscale.
Living on the Edge
The edge is no longer a specific size or as precise of a place as it once was, but just because it has grown more complex doesn’t mean that we can’t distinguish what or where it is. Sean Farney, Director of Data Center Marketing at Kohler Power Systems explores the ever evolving definition of the edge.
Delivering Customer Excellence in Turbulent Times
The world has changed overnight, and every industry is playing catch-up to meet higher demands from their customers. Noah Boudreaux, General Manager Data Center Sales and Operations for Venyu, shares insights on how data centers can meet customer demands and deliver excellent customer experiences during challenging times.
Hybrid Edge Data Centers: Reducing Transmission Times for Mission-Critical Applications
As more mobile devices send data to the edge and the cloud, data centers will need to develop a hybrid approach to their infrastructure that addresses long transmission times that can lead to downtime for mission-critical applications. A new white paper from Belden explores why low-latency hybrid edge computing is the future of the data center market.
Forced Physics Targets Edge Computing With New Cooling Design
Data center cooling startup Forced Physics Data Center Technology is entering the edge computing market, offering an outdoor server enclosure that can operate without water or traditional air cooling.
Are We Headed Toward Lights-Out Data Centers?
Traditional networks tend not to be as scalable, agile or flexible as they need to be to support automation and lights-out data centers. Shad Secrist, Data Center Pre-Sales Solutions Engineer at Belden, discusses leaf-spine architecture in lights-out data centers.
The Importance of Geo Diverse Data Center Locations
Businesses are revamping their data center geo-diversity strategies and relying heavily on technologies like edge cloud computing. A new white paper from Venyu explores the importance of geo-diverse data center locations in today’s business environment.
