What is a Prefabricated Modular Data Center? Over the last decade or so, there has been a change in data center builds from conventional "brick and mortar" builds where data center operators select and size system components and engineer them to work together, then construct the building, and, when data center building is completed, [...]
Hybrid ecosystems and their benefits in terms of sustainability, reliability, and cost savings In today's world, businesses and organizations increasingly turn to hybrid ecosystems to maximize sustainability and reliability while reducing costs. Hybrid ecosystems combine traditional, fossil fuel-based power sources with renewable energy sources such as solar or wind power, battery storage systems (BESS), [...]
Overview of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) in Data Centers IT cooling challenges continue escalating as new server-accelerated compute technologies, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing drive higher heat densities in the data center environment. Liquid cooling is rapidly emerging as the technology for efficiently handling power-dense hot spots. As the chart below shows, [...]
Sustainable Solutions for Colocation Operations Today's critical digital infrastructure industry faces two major forces: the ever-growing demand for data and the real effects of climate change. As the global data and digital infrastructure scales, it must do so responsibly. In light of this, data center operators are adopting a two-tiered energy sustainability strategy. First, [...]
Power outages can harm mission-critical operations, whether they occur in busy retail stores, on manufacturing floors, or in work-from-home environments. When outages occur, they take down vital industry and digital operations, costing organizations productivity and lost revenues. In addition, business operations may take place in non-temperature-controlled environments, where high temperatures degrade the valve-regulated lead [...]

During a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) workshop I attended in December 2021, I and other industry partners were asked about electricity use in data centers. By 2030, data centers are expected to consume as much as eight percent of the world’s electricity. Demand for high-performance computing has grown rapidly in [...]
IT and Facility Management Resources are Stretched Thin Human capital is at a premium in the data center industry. IT and Facility teams are stretched thin already, and organizations continue to move to digital first strategies. With new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GPUs driving higher density compute, these teams will be [...]
Prefabricated Modular Data Centers are an Increasingly Popular Choice Today’s networks are complex, hybrid constructs, typically with an enterprise data center at the center, ensuring seamless interactions across cloud, colocation, and edge resources. The mix constantly changes, reacting to specific capacity demands and external market forces. Datacenter builds slowed during the Covid pandemic leading [...]
