Telehouse Introduces Data Center Robotics

The term “robot” translates in Czech to “hard work” or “drudgery.” With advances in technology, data center colocation services include robotics as part of specialized applications that reduce human labor. Primarily, data center colocation providers deploy robotics to enhance efficiency. Facing fierce competition, businesses continually search for ways to make their infrastructures less expensive and agiler. Robotics reduce IT staff, which ensures greater monitoring accuracy and improved security.

Both EMC and IBM currently rely on iRobot Create, which traverses data center colocation facilities to check for fluctuations in temperature, humidity, and system vibrations. After the robot scours a data center colocation site for the source of vulnerabilities, like cooling leaks, it gathers data for processing through a Wi-Fi connection. An algorithm converts the data into a thermal map so that managers can identify anomalies.

Still in the concept phase, PayPerHost is working on Robonodes, which would replace a failed customer server or storage node. Sony and Facebook rely on robotic units as part of Blu-ray disc-based media storage archives. Overall, robotics help businesses mitigate the footprint of data center managed services while simplifying infrastructure.

Telehouse is responding to the increased demand for cloud computing and technological advances. Someday, data center resilience and archiving efficiency will improve due to more robust systems, automation software, and intense planning.

TELEHOUSE GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT: SOFTWARE-DEFINED NETWORKING AND THE DATA CENTER

Enhancing Connectivity for the Globalized Economy

As enterprises both large and small become increasingly globalized, expanding their businesses across cities, countries and even continents, their networks must grow with them. Software-Defined Networking addresses the fact that the static architecture of conventional networks has become ill-suited to the computing and storage needs of today’s global data center environments and the organizations they serve.

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is an emerging architecture that is adaptable, manageable and cost-effective, making it ideal for the dynamic, high-bandwidth nature of today’s applications. This architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions, enabling the network control to become directly programmable, and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services. SDN facilitates the deployment of applications that make it easier for a widely-dispersed, global workforce to communicate and collaborate with each other.

Some of the key computing trends driving the need for SDN include the rise of cloud services, Big Data, and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend. Moreover, applications that commonly access geographically distributed databases and servers through public and private clouds require extremely flexible traffic management and access to bandwidth on demand – something that SDN delivers. SDN restores control of the network to the network administrator, enabling a company to scale its network based on its own considerations, rather than based on existing vendor solutions. It provides more flexibility in configuring network traffic flow, better monitoring and smoother removal of inefficiencies and bottlenecks that would affect performance. Visit Original Source...

TELEHOUSE FOR TECHNOPHILES: THE LINK BETWEEN CLOUD ADOPTION AND CONNECTIVITY

How Surging Cloud Use is Making Connectivity a Differentiator for Data Centers

It’s safe to say that the global tech forecast is cloudy, and getting cloudier.

Consider this: According to the Cisco Global Cloud Index, global IP traffic will account for more than 92 percent of total global data center traffic by 2020.  In addition, cloud data center traffic for consumer and business applications will grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30 percent over the next three years, and 68 percent of cloud workloads will be processed by public cloud data centers – a 49 percent increase from 2015.

This migration to cloud computing can largely be attributed to performance-driven enterprises’ growing use of cloud-based applications. In one recent study conducted by Skyhigh Networks that surveyed various IT decision-makers, 79 percent of respondents claimed that they receive regular requests from end-users each month to buy more cloud applications. Among these applications, communication and collaboration via video, file and content sharing, and social media topped the list of the most frequently requested capabilities. Original source...

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.

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.

Telehouse Global Spotlight: Telehouse Paris Data Centers

C’est Magnifique! The Paris Data Center and Colocation Market Is Thriving

Given a growing population of approximately 2.3 million inhabitants, with surrounding suburbs that are home to around 10.5 million, Paris, the most populous urban area in the European Union, offers enough opportunity to keep its multi-tenant data center and hosting markets growing. A large number of multinational corporations are headquartered in the city, among these, 29 of the Fortune 500, including Sanofi, BNP Paribas and Orange. Paris is home to many other healthcare, financial services, and telecommunications companies, as well as some of the world’s most recognized luxury retail brands, pushing greater and greater demand for colocation, hosting and cloud services to meet French business requirements. Indeed, Paris is the third-largest multi-tenant data center and fourth-largest hosting market in Europe.

While some Paris-based companies seek to lower costs through renewable energy as well as cheaper land prices that would necessitate a move away from the highly competitive city center, many businesses find a presence there is still required for connectivity into Paris’ major carrier hotels. So much so that Paris dominates as France’s data center hub, accounting for over 70 percent of the country’s total data center footprint. Click here for more details.

Telehouse Green: Any Way the Wind Blows

Data Centers are Harnessing the Power of Wind Energy

More than eight million data centers exist around the world, using upwards of 30GW of energy each year, an amount that is steadily increasing. A study by the National Resource Defense Council (NRDC) revealed that if planet’s data centers were a country, they would represent the world’s 12th-largest consumer of electricity, ranking somewhere between Spain and Italy.

The carbon footprint of a mid-sized, 10 MW data center can range from three million to over 130 million kilograms of CO2, according to Green House Data. However, the good news is that this environmental impact can be significantly reduced through the adoption of renewable and sustainable energy resources, such as wind energy.

According to Data Center Knowledge, the generation of power through on-site wind turbines has gained traction across the data center community over the past few years. The latest AFCOM State of the Data Center survey showed that 34 percent of respondents have either deployed or are planning to deploy a renewable energy source for their data center, of which half are or will be using wind energy. As a testament to its effectiveness, various hyper-scale organizations including Microsoft, Google and Apple are now relying upon wind energy as a source of power at some of their facilities.
