Optimisation
White papers, best practice and insights into data center optimisation strategies and solutions.
Evolving from an accidental architecture to a scalable, efficient and modular data centre design is an issue for many companies today. One such case follows with ECN internet.
You don't have to own or manage a data center to know that the amount of digital data being stored, shared, manipulated, processed, analyzed, reported, downloaded, uploaded, emailed, backed up and restored is growing fast – as much as 25-50 percent a year, by some estimates.
Guys who can take on six guys at a time do exist - they grow up to become data centre managers. David Leyton walks us through some fine experiences.

It seems like everyone is trying to figure out how to exploit Web 2.0 technologies, including data center professionals. This initial installment in a two-part series will look at a variety of technologies and how they can be used to communicate in a coordinated way.
This paper introduces a simple approach, supported by free web-based tools, for estimating the carbon footprint of a data center anywhere in the world.
This paper defines a standard approach to collecting data from data centers and showing how to use it to calculate PUE, with a focus on what to do with data that is confusing or incomplete.
Are complicated software and instrumentation needed to measure and allocate energy costs and carbon to IT users? Or can we get by with simple, low cost methods for energy cost and carbon allocation? How precise do we need to be?
This paper discusses a key shift in the way IT planners must think about business value as they make DCPI investment decisions, and presents the drivers that are dictating this new set of value criteria.
Taking steps towards meeting the legal challenge of carbon reduction within data centres in a sensible, cost effective and sustainable manner.Up over in the UK: In April 2010, many organisations will find that they fall under the UK's new Carbon Reduction Commitment legislation (now known as the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme).
In the far distant past, if you wanted an IT platform, it came as a pretty well integrated package: a mainframe or midi-computer, dedicated networking and client devices that were pretty well tied in to the platform you bought. The PC changed all of this, and there was an explosion of different hardware manufacturers providing distinct parts of the platform, from servers, through storage, networking and client devices.
This paper aims to elucidate the issues that affect the user experience in today's computing environments; how to monitor that experience, pre-empt problems and decide what actions need taking when the user experience is unacceptable. The paper should be of interest to both business and technical readers who know that delivering a good user experience is a key competitive advantage and want to be sure their organisation is benefiting from doing so.
