Why OCP has a standard for data center buildings
The Open Compute Project started out on racks. Now it has specifications for buildings - and wholesale colocation provider Kao Data welcomes them

While there still may be some confusion around what open compute even is, resources are becoming more and more available to remove the mystery.
How innovations in edge IT are disrupting the colocation market and presenting unique challenges for service providers
It is now more feasible to design a data center with an integrated cooling system that can operate for a significant percentage of the year in economizer mode
Li-ion chemistry and machine learning unlock new resiliencies
New study finds increasing chilled water temperatures can yield energy savings of between 41 - 64 percent
Look for the greatest possible flexibility when deploying at the Edge
The future is here, and colocation providers need step up their agility game
Mobile infrastructure players are set to play a much stronger role in the Internet
The greatest and most rapid technological changes are being generated from the Edge of the network
Definitions of the edge are changing, the way you approach it should change too
IT Pods can give the best of both worlds, combining power and speed
Large data centers need a cooling system which is effective at high power levels
Increasing data center efficiency is a complex task. Humans could use a little help
Hyperconverged IT can unlock the true potential of small data centers
Standardized IT pod architectures can offer many advantages to hyperscale and colocation data centers
To get real efficiency figures, you need accurate measurements
An effective control system should enable management to consider the overall effect of adjustments to one part of the cooling infrastructure on the installation as a whole
Data center managers must now combine edge facilities and cloud services. That makes things more complicated
There must be a strong connection and seamless communication between the enterprise’s DCIM and facility’s BMS
The need for reliable and distributed Internet infrastructure has become more pressing than ever before
The idea of the DC-PoP emerged from the needs of Edge Computing
Many ubiquitous smart devices have no security protocols. Here’s how we should respond
Big corporate mergers often go wrong, but there are good examples for Equinix, NTT and Digital Realty to emulate
