Every 3 to 4 months, DVL hosts a small Data Center Users' Forum. The mission of the DCUF is to provide a commercial free forum where members collaborate on relevant mission-critical issues, new technologies, customer testimonials, and best practices affecting reliability, availability, and lowest cost of operation.
This week, the DCUF, which includes IT and facilities professionals from multiple industry types, discussed various topics including: aisle containment systems, bridging the gap between IT and Facilities, outsourcing vs. keeping everything in-house, showing how valuable technology is to the bottom line, how to prove ROI, audits, root cause analysis, the impact of government regulations on data centers, what's the cost of your company's reputation?, free cooling, natural disasters, and redundancy.
