As the use of data centers continues to grow exponentially, energy consumption and heat generation issues are also on the rise. Cooling technology plays a significant role in maintaining a data center’s reliability and preventing equipment from overheating. Intel, the world leader in processor manufacturing, understands the importance of cooling technology in data center maintenance and has been exploring innovative
DCI Data Centres, a leading provider of colocation and connectivity services in Asia-Pacific, has completed the first of two new cloud data centres in Auckland, New Zealand. The completed centre, AKL01, was built on time and within budget, providing over 50MW of critical technical infrastructure to the New Zealand market. The company’s investment in cloud data infrastructure in New Zealand
Serverless computing eliminates the need for managing and maintaining servers by allowing cloud providers to run applications on a pay-per-use basis. This technology has seen a surge in popularity thanks to its flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. However, it’s easy to rack up unexpected costs with serverless computing. That’s why managing the costs of serverless computing is crucial to ensure that
As a modern-day accountant, you have probably already embraced cloud accounting as the way of the future. You are aware of the many benefits it provides, from streamlining processes to improving accuracy and enabling remote work. However, not all your clients may be on the same page. Some may still be using traditional accounting methods and feel hesitant about transitioning
In today’s digital world, the demand for data services is rapidly growing. With the increasing reliance on technology, there is also a pressing need for the efficient and clean delivery of these services. However, data centers are among the most energy-intensive facilities, and their environmental impact cannot be overlooked. Here, we take a closer look at how liquid cooling technology
Solid-state drives, or SSDs, have become increasingly popular in recent years due to their faster speed, durability, and reliability compared to traditional mechanical hard drives or HDDs. SSDs use flash memory to store data and have no moving parts, which makes them less susceptible to physical damage. However, understanding the factors that affect SSD reliability is crucial in making an
In the past decade, cloud computing has become an increasingly popular option for many organizations looking for scalable, flexible, and cost-effective IT solutions. Cloud technology enables businesses to store their data and applications remotely, making them accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. However, this convenience has also introduced new security challenges, with cyber attackers targeting organizations’ cloud-based data and
Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we store and process data. According to research by Gartner, cloud spending is projected to exceed $1 trillion over the next four years, indicating the growing popularity of cloud-based services. However, despite its advantages, managing cloud costs can be a challenging undertaking. In this article, we discuss the problem of cloud resource waste and
Generative AI has rapidly emerged as a promising technology that can enable businesses to drive innovation, enhance decision-making processes, and gain a competitive edge over their peers. Generative AI utilizes complex algorithms to generate new and diverse forms of data, images, texts, videos, and other content that can inspire and enrich human imagination.

The village board of Mount Pleasant made a decision last week to allow Microsoft to build a data center on land that was originally cleared for the Foxconn LCD fabrication plant that never materialized. Microsoft’s purchase of the land The tech giant will acquire the land for $50 million, some of which will be used to reimburse Foxconn for relinquishing
When developing solutions for cloud-based applications, there are several technical considerations that need to be accounted for. One of the most important considerations is the use of containers, which can either enhance or hinder the effectiveness of a solution. When containers are not used properly, it can result in an additional cost known as the “container tax.” Additionally, there is
The growth of technology and data has dramatically increased the importance of data in the modern world. Data is both the most significant asset and the biggest challenge for most corporations. Traditional forms of database delivery remain complex, costly, and time-consuming. Hence, enterprises require innovations to streamline and optimize their data management.
