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?

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?

There is no denying that a robust ICT foundation is crucial in healthcare facilities. Not only does it enable the business to run, it plays a key role in saving patients’ lives. And with the current boom in the internet of medical things (IoMT), a market that is expected to reach $158 billion by 2022, the growing significance of modern technology in critical health care is indisputable.

Computing at the edge is blurring the boundaries of the traditional data center. As the network spreads, such critical factors as power management, cooling and physical security are taking on expanded roles – and even greater importance – in network operations. As we look to 2019 and beyond, we forecast a more a holistic approach to data center operations, in which infrastructure, hardware and software are addressed as a unified system.

The school district turned to CPI's eConnect® Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to deliver, intelligent, reliable power infrastructure to support all the demand it would need for the next few years to deliver 1:1 device to schools.

Doug Cofer, Technology Director for Oak Ridge (Tenn.) Schools

For K–12 schools interested in integrating state-of-the-art education technology, IT teams would do well to first invest in power distribution units. These solutions will help handle the load of any new technology in the school, whether adding new whiteboards or executing an entire digital overhaul.
