- Physical Security in Mission Critical Facilities Physical security is critical to achieving availability goals of mission critical facilities. Security of the data center accounts for it's surroundings as well as data processing equipment inside and the systems supporting them. In this paper, systems for providing secure facilities are recommended and best practices for physical security are explained. DOWNLOAD >>
- The Role of Isolation Transformers in Data Center UPS Systems This paper considers the function of transformers in UPS systems, when and how transformers should be used, and how the absence of internal transformers in newer UPS designs frequently improves data center design and performance.

- Cooling Strategies for Ultra-High Density Racks and Blade Servers In this paper the concept of power density is reviewed. Next the actual power density values of current and new data centers are examined. The practical approaches to achieving high density are presented, along with their limitations and benefits. Finally, logical and practical strategies for deploying high density computing are presented. DOWNLOAD >>
- Implementing Energy Efficient Data Centers This paper explains how to quantify the electricity savings and provides examples of methods that can greatly reduce electrical power consumption. DOWNLOAD >>
- How Monitoring Systems Reduce Human Error in Distributed Server Rooms and Remote Wiring Closets Surprise incidences of downtime in server rooms and remote wiring closets lead to sleepless nights for many IT managers. Most can recount horror stories about how bad luck, human error, or just simple incompetence brought their server rooms down. This paper analyzes several of these incidents and makes recommendations for how a basic monitoring system can help reduce the occurrence of these unanticipated events. DOWNLOAD >>

- Reducing the Multiplier Effect Most people don't realize that for every watt consumed by servers, an additional 1-1.5 watts or more are consumed by the equipment that supports the data center. Learn how to reduce consumption and bring more efficiency to your UPS, air conditioning, network equipment, storage devices, and computing systems. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Measuring Data Center Efficiency If you can't measure it, you can't manage it! Find out how companies like yours are using various metrics to track their data center efficiency and bring it in line with budget constraints, industry norms, and green initiatives.. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Elements of the Efficient Enterprise, Part 1 Think high density technology makes you more efficient? It may, but not so fast! If you're squeezing more condensed technologies into the same footprint you might be in for a little surprise. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Elements of the Efficient Enterprise, Part 2 Think you're growing your facility efficiently? You might be or you might not be. If power loads are doubling, network are consolidating, or your sales are taking off you might be in for a little surprise. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Elements of the Efficient Enterprise, Part 3 Want to reduce waste but don't know where to start? Begin with your data center's equipment. If you take a long hard look at each component's efficiency performance you might be in for a little surprise. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Elements of the Efficient Enterprise, Part 4 You're growing, but are you growing efficiently? If you're adding great new technologies like blade servers that are faster, smaller, and more efficient than ever keep three things in mind: Location, Location, Location. WATCH VIDEO >>
- Elements of the Efficient Enterprise, Part 5 Think high density applications will make you more efficient? To an extent yes... but wait a minute, you might be in for a surprise. High density heat can contaminate your cooling. WATCH VIDEO >>
