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.
Last Friday, the DCUF, which includes IT and facilities professionals from multiple industry types, discussed various topics including: Data Center Infrastructure Management, metering and trending, bridging the gap between IT and Facilities, outsourcing vs. keeping everything in-house, industry power trends, passive RFID asset technology, containment, power outage/root cause analysis.
