TELEHOUSE FOR TECHNOPHILES: THE BRAIN IN THE MACHINE

How Data Centers Are Using Deep Learning

Machine and deep learning, which emerged from Artificial Intelligence (AI), the theory and development of computer systems that can perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence, mimics activities in layers of neurons in the neocortex, the area of the brain where thinking occurs. Deep learning software can be programmed to recognize patterns in digital representations of sounds, images and other data. In fact, machine intelligence is transforming the future of everything from communications to healthcare, and from manufacturing and transportation to advanced robotics. Writers and filmmakers such as Arthur C. Clarke and Stephen Spielberg have foretold of a brave new world where AI will take one day influence every waking aspect of our personal and professional lives.

Science-fiction aside, machine learning is already well-established in our everyday world, from your faithful companion Siri to facial recognition programs to language translation. But it can also help to tackle some of the world’s most challenging industrial problems, such as rampant energy consumption that adversely impacts the environment. Large-scale commercial systems, including high performance data centers, consume a lot of energy, and while much has been done to mitigate energy usage in enterprise and colocation facilities, deep learning can do much more to manage the world’s increasing need for high performance computing power.

TELEHOUSE GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT: ALL DIGITAL ROADS LEAD TO FRANKFURT


Strong Economy and Strict Privacy Laws Make Frankfurt a Global Epicenter for Colocation

After the Second World War, Frankfurt am Main was rebuilt and soon emerged as a leading financial and commercial hub in West Germany. The city experienced strong economic development due to its central position on the Main River and its expansion into neighboring domestic markets.

Fast-forward to present day and Frankfurt, now a bustling international metropolis and the financial capital of Europe, is still experiencing strong growth, particularly on the digital front. Germany is now one of the four leading colocation markets in Europe, and the largest population of its data centers can be found around the city of Frankfurt where the majority of internet traffic from Germany and many other countries is routed.

The Place to Be in Germany 

Two decades ago, Frankfurt had a reputation for bing a somewhat lackluster metropolis. But now, the city —referred to as “Mainhattan” for its downtown skyscrapers— is on a cultural, technological and economic upswing, and rapidly becoming a top destination for colocation providers.

Frankfurt also plays host to a thriving startup community and the second-largest internet exchange in Europe, DE-CIX, with over 500 ISPs and carriers. Startup growth around the Frankfurt region is occurring at a rate of 22 percent annually, while the rest of Germany is hovering around 13 percent. Meanwhile, its financial technology industry is second only to the UK in terms of overall investment and German fintech business is expected to top $2 billion by 2020.

TELEHOUSE FOR TECHNOPHILES: TOURING THE DATA CENTER OF THE FUTURE

What Will Data Centers Look Like in 2017 and Beyond?

In previous Telehouse for Technophiles blogs, we’ve looked at present-day, advanced technologies affecting the data center, such as adiabatic cooling, the increased usage of Deep Machine Learning and the proliferation of Big Data analytics. But what changes can we anticipate in 2017 and beyond?

Let’s explore various predictions concerning design, operational and technological advances in the data center, as well as some of the market drivers that we can expect will influence the industry in the coming year and into the future.
TELEHOUSE FOR TECHNOPHILES: TOURING THE DATA CENTER OF THE FUTURE


Introducing the Skyscraper Data Center

Eschewing current designs in which data centers are low and sprawling, two European architects, Marco Merletti and Valeria Mercuri, have proposed a data center rising 65-stories tall. While only in the blueprint phase, the futuristic, tower-like structure would feature sustainable technology to cool hundreds of thousands of servers and be powered by geothermal energy and hydropower. The data center’s cylindrical design would create a chimney effect whereby the hot air inside the tower goes up and sucks the cold air from the outside, and the outside cold air would reenter through servers arranged in pod units that would cool naturally.

STORM PREPARATIONS

Please be advised: Telehouse Facilities Department has been actively tracking the Nor’easter and are taking precautionary measures to mitigate risk in the event that the storm affects the New York City Area.

Staten Island’s 7 Teleport and Chelsea 85 10th Avenue both have been notified of the possible inclement weather conditions and will be maintaining consistent operation for our customers throughout the upcoming days.

At this time, Telehouse has taken proactive measures for this work and has made accommodations for additional coverage with engineers and operation technicians in the event that storm conditions hit the tristate area.

Telehouse has already conducted full inspections of all critical equipment including UPS, generator, chiller, and switch gear to be in normal working conditions before the weekend. We have also prepared spare parts kits for emergency equipment as a proactive measure. In addition, our fueling companies and vendors have been notified to place their teams on a stand by condition.
