Found a good article on f-secure.com with advice on how to protect your environment. 

Also makes the point that SMB’s may not be aware that contractors enable RDP to help maintain their IT environment.

Guess how much a typical data center failure can cost?

April 5, 2012

According to a recent study, the average data center downtime is 90 minutes, which results in an average cost per incident of about $505,500 - Ouch!  And, of those surveyed, 95% have experienced one or more unplanned data center outages in the past 2 years - that’s over $1 million dollars in 2 years! (The math - 1 outage/yr x $500K x 2 years = $1Million!) To make matters worse, only 1/3 of respondents felt that they had sufficient resources in order to recover from a failure! Don’t be left in the dark and experience an outage—let Raritan help you prepare with our innovative DCIM solution!


Why Deploy High Voltage to IT Equipment Racks?

Greg More
April 5, 2012

Data centers are finding that they must deploy more and more power to their racks. High-power requirements at data center racks are driven by high density such as racks filled with 1U “pizza box” servers or multiple blade server chassis in one rack. Racks of network storage devices can also drive high demand for power.

When considering power demand it is important to determine and design for peak actual demand. Designing to IT equipment nameplate ratings is excessively high. Designing for average power consumption may not be sufficient for periods of peak demand.

Many data center managers are doing a good job conserving energy – decreasing PUE, raising data center temperatures, using air-side economizers to reduce energy consumption for cooling—but average power consumption at the rack may still go up. In fact, the increased efficiency means more power is available for servers which supports data center growth.


Remote IT Infrastructure Management – Supporting Business Continuity Throughout Government Agencies

For the U.S. Department of Defense and civilian agencies that rely on their IT infrastructure to protect national security and sensitive scientific data, application servers that are down can mean the loss of life or the loss of critical research. Time is of the essence when these disasters strike. Agency managers and division chiefs must quickly access, troubleshoot, diagnosis and repair the affected data center equipment.

Raritan’s Remote Management and Control Solutions provide an expanded level of secure remote access and centralized management for Government agencies and lights out data centers, even from an iPad® or iPhone®. These solutions provide FIPS-encrypted, secure BIOS-level interaction with the infrastructure and support the capability to power cycle, reboot, reinstall software, reimage servers and change BIOS options.


April 5th Phoenix DCIM Summit - Best Practices, Case Studies, and Tour

Dorothy Ochs
March 25, 2012

Get the latest trends in DCIM (Data Center Infrastructure Management), rack thermal management and best practices for data center design, build and operations.

Organization growth, data center consolidation and the need to provide more IT-based services place increasing demands on IT staff and data center resources such as electrical power, cooling capacity and space for IT equipment. To relieve these pressures data centers must become more efficient—extremely efficient. This event will present a series of real-world, end-user case studies so you will learn not only what efficiencies are possible but also how to make them a reality in your own data center.

This event will also include a tour of the IO Data Center - which is the largest commercially available data center in the United States to achieve Tier III Design Certification from the Uptime Institute.

You’ll see firsthand that not all data centers are created equal®.
