Data Center operators and businesses need predictability in their power supplies. Their infrastructure has to operate regardless of grid stability, weather conditions and other factors that threaten their systems. Network problems, IT system failures and hosting disruptions are significant reasons for data center outages. The biggest culprit, though, remains interrupted power supply, according to research from the Uptime Institute.Read full information on external site

It is still very early days, but it is clear that artificial intelligence (AI) is set to transform the way data centers are designed, managed and operated — eventually. There has been a lot of misrepresentation and hype around AI, and it’s not always clear how it will be applied, and when. The Uptime Institute view is that it will be rolled out slowly, with initially conservative and limited use cases now and for the next few years. But its impact will grow.Read full information on external site

The network is down! Panic sets in. People stare around in shock. Commerce grinds to a halt. Connectivity is a necessity of modern life; the support system of the digital age. Yet monolithic network operating systems are brittle “blobs” prone to break at the slightest touch. The Uptime Institute LLC “2019 Data Center Survey” lists network system failure as the second most-common cause of data center outages between 2016 and 2018.Read full information on external site

The Uptime Institute espouses its tiering structure to describe a data centre’s physical resilience; however, this is a rather narrow scope when considering ‘availability’. Building a resilient, highly-available data centre is only the initial, embryonic phase of its lifetime. For the following 15-20 years, how one operates and maintains a data centre is far more important than how it was built (that said, it does need to be built right in order to be operated to its maximum potential).Read full information on external site
