INDUSTRY INTELLIGENCE POWERED BY THE DCA and right plate . These plates connect the cabinet with the profiles in which the IT equipment is installed . Special accessories have also been developed by leading cabinet manufacturers to perfectly seal the spaces between the cabinets . Properly applied airflow management will bring forth higher efficiency and will lengthen the life span of your servers .
6 . Remote working and the shift to the cloud to control data centre IT devices from multiple remote locations .
A further
Gartner report , states that by 2024 , more than 45 % of IT spending on system infrastructure , infrastructure software , application software and business process outsourcing will shift from traditional solutions to the cloud . The result is what Gartner calls ‘ cloud shift ’.
According to a recent
Gartner report , by the end of 2023 , more than 90 % of infrastructure and operations ( I & O ) organisations will have the majority of their staff working remotely . This shift towards ‘ anywhere operations ’ challenges the traditional thinking of providing infrastructure and supporting operations from one central location . Enterprises now require remote power management solutions that enable staff
Sensors are an easy-to-install , cost-effective way to reduce energy costs , improve reliability and increase capacity for future data centre growth . By using environmental sensors , you can optimise your data centre ecosystem to ensure that you are meeting equipment guidelines , reducing operational costs , deferring capital investments and improving your power usage effectiveness ( PUE ).
Organisations can often benefit from the cloud provider ’ s more energy-efficient infrastructure and presumably more optimised environment , but many also fear the loss of access to their systems . The reality is , however , that a growing number of colocation providers can provide access to data centre power monitoring software so that clients can be sure they ’ re being billed for actual power usage . Working with a colocation provider that allows clients to build out their racks and include
KVM-over-IP switch access for remote administration will give organisations peace of mind that they still have access that ’ s just like being at the rack .
Conclusion
Reducing carbon costs and energy consumption within the data centre is at the top of many organisations ’ sustainability , CSR , and efficiency agendas , in order to achieve the European Green Deal ’ s goal of making data centres climate-neutral by 2030 . Adopting one or more of these simple energy-saving initiatives in your data centre can be made quickly and economically and could see your IT energy wastage drastically improve . ◊ www . intelligentdatacentres . com
