Ditch your regular servers for blades, consider tri-generation cooling and assess carbon costs over the long term. These are some of the recommendations that will be discussed by NAB’s data centre platform specialist, Glenn Allan, at CeBit’s upcoming <i> Future-Proofing Your Data Centre</i> conference in Sydney.
As Westpac Bank recently discovered, keeping a data centre running smoothly can be complicated if you don’t look at alternative cooling methods for when the air conditioning fails.
Business executives are challenging their IT staffs to convert data centres from cost centres into producers of business value. This paper demonstrates, through a series of examples, how data centre infrastructure management software tools can simplify operational processes, cut costs, and speed up information delivery. · Data centres can make a significant impact to the bottom line by enabling the business to respond more quickly to market demands · The systems which allow management to leverage real savings consist of modern data centre physical infrastructure (i.e., power and cooling) management software tools · Some data centre operators do not use any physical infrastructure management tools. This can be risky
