If there is one thing the past year has taught organizations, it is that business continuity is not possible without
connectivity—remote connectivity. For data center managers and operators, this means the stakes have never been higher. Each new generation of data center equipment is more powerful than the previous and can replace multiple legacy technologies. With the demand for data growing quickly, the need to consolidate and expand simultaneously is compounding. How can organizations ensure reliable operations and stay up and running 24/7 while keeping costs down?

High throughput, low latency, network availability, reliability and security have always been top priorities in data centers, but the recent wave of technological advances—autonomous cars, augmented reality, 5G, and all other connected objects of the Internet of Things (IoT)—are taking those priorities to a new level and bringing new challenges to IT systems administrators and data centers managers. In this article, Raissa Carey provides a simple guide to protecting network equipment in the age of IoT.

The emergence of hyperscale data centers has flipped the coin on the typical supplier/customer relationship. Instead of buying an off-the-shelf, standard solution dictated by the product manufacturer, hyperscalers to a large extent have driven and created their own specifications designed to fit their unique needs. And because of their sizeable presence, the manufacturers and integrators that serve these hyperscalers have followed suit, gradually embracing these new demands and adapting segments of their operations to support them.

Within the many layers of cybersecurity, physical security is generally well understood in ICT, but when it comes to executing a simple and effective strategy, there are different opinions of what that strategy should be and how it should be deployed.

How often do enterprise organizations assess the required level of physical security for protecting data? Are they compliant with regulations that address data security?
