As 2012 draws to a close many of us are planning ahead for 2013, both for our professional and personal lives, formulating a list of goals, objectives, and even a vacation or two. With that in mind I started to create a top-ten list of should do items for data center professionals in 2013. However as always I got a bit carried away and had to pare the list down to a manageable bakers dozen.
