Welcome to the January edition of DSI's Data Center Digest! We hope your year is off to a good start! We are looking forward to another busy year and would love to catch up at some of the upcoming industry events. Additionally, we will be hosting a couple of micro events with the first one to be held in Phoenix. Stay tuned for more information!
2020: The Year of Data Center Expansion
In a recent blog, we reflected on the robust growth within the Data Center sector and cited a Gartner report predicting a significant increase in IT spending, as well as Intel's Q4 earnings which were driven by Data Center demand. Much of the reporting validates what DSI has been saying for the last year. Specifically we have seen, and we believe will continue to see, an expansion of Edge and Modular Data Center deployments.
Can Your Electrical System Weather a Storm?
Earlier this month, we officially launched our electrical assessment service to help mission critical operators ensure uptime during the planned PG&E outages. Below you can read more about the service and a link to the article in Facility Executive magazine.
Southern CA AFCOM Ends Year In The Fast Lane
In December, AFCOM’s Southern California Chapter hosted its 8th Annual Holiday Social & Quarterly Educational Series at Crevier Classic Cars in Costa Mesa. In addition to looking at a vast vintage and exotic automobile collection, attendees were treated to the Swing Kittens who performed everyone’s favorite holiday music. Check out DSI's recap of the event here.
Data Center Outages Analysis Update
On February 19th, the Uptime Institute will be hosting a webinar discussing the latest data on publicly reported outages in 2019 – causes, impacts and trends. The webinar will highlight some of the bigger incidents in the past 12 months and consider what lessons may be learned, and how managers may respond.
DSI's Electrical Assessment Service Featured in Facility Executive Magazine
Earlier this month, we formally announced our Power Checkup Service. This new service enables owners and operators to quickly see a full picture of their Data Center electrical systems, electric loads and backup power supplies.
Prompted by PG&E’s decision to selectively turn off power to help reduce the start and spread of wildfires from power lines, this new service produces a picture of your existing backup power system and identifies gaps. Facility Executive magazine recently wrote a piece about it.
In our most recent blog, we take a look at some interesting figures pointing to a robust year in the Data Center sector. From Gartner's IT spending predictions to Intel's Q4 earnings, 2020 should be a great year for the Data Center ecosystem.
