Columbus, Ohio [August 8, 2013] With the data center at a critical stage in its evolution, Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson (NYSE: EMR) and a global leader in maximizing availability, capacity and efficiency of critical infrastructure, today released a white paper that provides IT and data center managers with best practices for moving toward a holistic approach to data center management that rises above organizational, system-level silos while optimizing the interaction of people, process and technology to achieve true operational efficiency.
The white paper, titled Integrating People, Process and Technology to Transform Data Center Operations and Performance, takes a closer look at the constraints preventing organizations from optimizing data center performance and efficiency, and it provides a clear path for overcoming them through the better utilization of people, process and technology.

The total worldwide capacity of direct current (DC) distribution networks will surpass 2.3 GW by 2025, up from just 196 MW in 2013, according to a new report from Navigant Research.
The report says electricity loads being served by today's alternating current (AC) power grids are increasingly natively DC at the end-use level. In fact, according to some estimates, approximately 80% of the power loads in commercial and residential structures are now DC.

They are small, poorly managed, wasteful and high risk environments for a businesss IT systems and theyre lurking in a building near you. The server closet, its a danger to us all and it must be eradicated.
The server closet is a room set aside for IT gear, but not designed as a data center. Not even as a bad data center. They vary in size, but are generally between 100 SF and 2500 SF. The rooms usually have some extra AC assigned to them and maybe additional jury rigged power, but beyond that they are a large closet that IT gear has been force fit into. There are 10s of thousands of these server closets out in the wild.

The impact of Hurricane Sandy gave U.S. power providers as well as code making bodies a wake-up call. Why are facilities that must operate to provide services during disasters allowed to locate critical electrical system components in vulnerable areas? Although designs of this magnitude require a great deal of thought and planning, its difficult to include every possible scenario. Even codes and standards as extensive as they are cant cover everything.
