Tracy's second article in his AI and Machine Learning in data centers series.

Over the next few weeks Tracy Collins will be sharing a series of articles highlighting the specific challenges that data center operations teams face. Tracy is also speaking about AI and Machine learning in data centers at the Data Center World Show in Texas on March 29th, 2022.

At EkkoSense we often talk about how it’s time for data centre monitoring to start getting much more granular – but what do we mean by that? And how granular do you need to be?

EkkoSense identifies the five issues operations teams will need to resolve to successfully balance increased workloads while still securing carbon savings.

While we recognize that Vertiv’s decision to discontinue its flagship DCIM platform is indicative of challenges across the DCIM space, at EkkoSense we also acknowledge that the data center management challenges customers were trying to solve haven’t just gone away. So, what can be done to support current Vertiv Trellis and Vertiv Aperture customers as they evaluate their options?

Expect data centres to come under renewed pressure as one of the highest energy users within organisations. And while data centre teams clearly want to deliver on their carbon obligations, that can be challenging when they don’t always have a clear understanding of how exactly their rooms are performing from a cooling, capacity and power perspective. Adrian Barker, Key Account Director at EkkoSense shares his views.

Organizations clearly want to deliver on their carbon obligations, but that can be challenging when data center operators don’t always have a clear understanding of how their rooms are performing from a cooling, capacity and power perspective.

Since it was first published in 2004, ASHRAE’s ‘Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments’ has been a highly-regarded, vendor-neutral reference resource for data centre designers, operators and managers.
