Choosing the right cooling solution for your data centre is essential to protect you and your stakeholders’ assets and reputation. Overheating components can lead to costly system failures and interruptions to business, while well-cooled data centres are bastions of productivity and efficiency.

But the right solution right now could be woefully inadequate to keep up with the demands of technology in five or 10 years. High Performance Computing (HPC) has increased in power exponentially and its cooling demands have grown in step with this.

There's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to data centre cooling. The optimal solution will always be application-specific and based on the customers’ requirements.Historically, air cooling has been the primary method used to maintain optimum cooling temperatures within data centres. However, the growing demand for AI and GPU-accelerated computing has increased rack densities and power consumption, and increased the heat generated by the servers, necessitating more effective cooling strategies such as liquid cooling.

In an Industry 4.0 world, every sector relies on networking devices to keep things centralised, interconnected, and operating at peak efficiency. However, different industries have different needs, and it is those specific needs that dictate whether any given networking product is the right choice.

Enterprise is no exception, but the nature of enterprise needs makes four factors in particular to stand above the rest: scalability, compatibility, security, and total cost of ownership (TCO).

Business continuity managers have been kept busy in recent years, with supply chain issues, a pandemic, and ongoing cyber-attacks threatening to cause significant disruption to operations. Consequently, continuity planning is now a constant feature on boardroom agendas.
