Data Centre Cooling

Data centre cooling is one of the major challenges faced by data centre managers because high temperatures and excess heat can severely and negatively affect its components lifespan and performance. As organizations keep adding computing equipment, data centres are demanding more electricity and producing higher heat. Increased cooling and electricity demands are increasing cooling and power costs and hampering productivity of data centers, and organizations must seriously consider investing in alternative cooling solutions for efficient heat and equipment management.

Minimize the impacts of Critical Application Outages

Much is written about business continuity and recovery of operations after a disaster. What about recovery of a system or application that experiences a lengthy outage and negatively impacts the day-to-day operations of a business?

FACT: 25% of businesses that close after a natural disaster never reopen

FACT: 40 percent of small businesses never reopen their doors following a disaster

I have yet to see the statistics identifying the impact of a lengthy outage of a critical application on a business. I am willing to bet that the disaster recovery statistics are representative of this scenario. So, what to do and how to mitigate this risk?

Data Center Relocation

Data Center Relocation – Not as simple as it may seemA data center relocation is not just about moving servers and plugging them in at their new locale. In reality, a data center relocation can be one of a company’s most complex and challenging endeavors. With mission critical information and high-stakes money on the line, the failure of any key steps in the process can have potentially devastating repercussions. Valuable data can be lost. Expensive IT equipment can be damaged. Critical systems may remain offline for hours, days or even weeks as problems are resolved. Such issues can end up costing a company thousands–or even millions–of dollars in lost productivity and lost revenue.

Contemplating a Data Center Consolidation Initiative??

Have you purchased and integrated numerous point solutions, from a plethora of vendors, each with its own training courses, licensing, refresh cycles, support requirements, and mode of operation? The decision to buy all of these products made sense at the time, but today, for many IT teams, data center complexity can feel overwhelming and discourage innovation.
This has created several challenges for IT organizations. The excessive amount of time spent on operational and support tasks, management of virtual machines, budget constraints, service-level agreements that have been breached, operational inefficiency, application performance and ongoing support are just some of the challenges that IT has today. All of these issues lead IT to focus on data center consolidation adopting a hyperconverged infrastructure.

Tri-Paragon’s Managing Data Center Capacities

What is Managing Data Center Capacities?

Being unable to deploy critical infrastructure as required is not an option.

Data Center component capacities focuses on those components which, if not carefully monitored, can cause delays in provisioning for new applications. This blog is not all-encompassing but addresses those components where the author has experienced capacity problems in the past. This is especially true where the organization is fragmented and effective communication between the organizations responsible for the various components within the data center is required to avoid issues. For example, where the network accountability rests outside of the IT organization potential communication problems may arise. This could lead to an inadequate number of network ports required to deploy a server which now must sit idle until additional ports can be provisioned. This could also delay the deployment of a critical application. To avoid this sort of complication, the capacity management team should monitor the capacity of all components within the data center thus keeping the accountability in one place.
