      Beating the Storage Odds in Age of Big Data

      Technical evolution moves at different rates and for different reasons. Unlike other areas of computing, for example, storage solutions for distributed systems have evolved as a result of proliferation, rather than more traditional reasons such as price, performance and technical advancements. In other words, when organizations have bought a particular storage technology, they’ve grown with it whether they planned to or not.

      Earth Day Sparks A Look At Data Center Energy

      As we celebrated Earth Day this week, many corporations are looking at their environmental strategies and are seeking to become more “green.” This begs the question: for organizations that are seeking to reduce their energy footprint, is it possible for a data center to employ distributed energy resources, like incorporating solar power, without giving up reliability? This is a worthy goal but there may be major issues that need to be addressed as the organization sets about working toward this goal.

      The Customer is Always Right: Remaining Relevant in the World of Data Centers

      As more and more enterprises turn to the cloud for their data transfer and storage needs, demand for leading-edge data centers is increasing. And the ability of a data center owner/operator to understand and embrace the evolving IT needs of its customers can be the difference between remaining relevant and becoming extinct in today’s highly competitive business environment.

      Reducing the Storage Footprint & Power Use in Your Data Center

      I was talking with a company based in Manhattan, and they told me that they have maxed out their data center’s power usage. They simply cannot get more power.  And because of the constraints of city real estate, they can’t add square footage to their data center – there’s nowhere to grow.  Moving their data center off the island is an option (and long-term plan), but clearly reducing the footprint of storage in their data center and minimizing power consumption are important factors, as they would be for any IT investment.

      A Great Time to be in the Data Center Industry

      Today, you can plug in the words “data center design and build services” into an Internet search engine, and it renders results literally in the millions. A decade or so ago, however, data center specialists were scarce. Finding an architectural and engineering group that understood the complexities of the data center and spoke our language proved challenging, to say the least.

      Creating An Effective Data Warehouse Strategy

      Every company has a stockpile of data – loads and loads of data. That data may not be that useful however, if you are unable to even access it without dedicating copious amounts of time and effort to the endeavor. That’s where an effective data warehouse strategy comes in. Contrary to what some companies may still believe, effective data warehouse solutions do not have to be costly. Nor do they have to be complex or limited to a single size and scope.

      An RX for Enterprise Big Data Success

      The term “Big Data” has many meanings and continues to evolve quickly. While the term originated in response to the need to manage large and diverse data sets, today’s promise of Big Data goes beyond its original technology–centric focus. Realizing the value of Big Data today demands more than technology. It requires the vision, experience and know-how necessary to see Big Data as a strategic opportunity and to leverage it across an enterprise. Today, there are many voices in the arena of Big Data, but only a few who understand the real opportunity for Big Data to create shareholder value.
