Technology has changed. There is more technology in a Ford F-150 than in the original Mercury capsule. You have 64 GB of music in your pocket with more processing power than a 1970’s era mainframe and 1tB of storage on your desktop at home. This seminar will review where data centers have been, where they are today and what is in store for the future. There is not a focus on any individual subsystem in the mission critical space but a brief review the core components, technologies and installation configurations currently deployed and being considered for future applications. Performance metrics and regulatory requirements are also addressed. And one final goal - to create a foundation for defining the data center/mission critical/IT space and the components in the room that lead to continued discussion and updating as new products, services and efficiencies are realized in the future.
