colocation

The hybrid cloud has arrived for the enterprise, but it comes with a complication: the speed of light. Between the cloud and the end user (including IoT devices that count as ‘users’), there is an emerging need for an intermediate environment that can satisfy real-time compute requirements without incurring the latency of reaching all the way to the cloud. ‘Edge compute’ is the phrase used to describe what covers this middle ground, but the optimal location for edge compute resources remains open to question.

The benefits of colocation are well documented, making it easy for organizations to build a compelling business case. Once the decision is made to outsource some or all of your IT infrastructure, there’s plenty of work to do, including selecting the right colocation provider.

Sometimes finding the right solution is a question of balance. If you’ve built data centers in the past and you have specific requirements, wouldn’t you naturally just want to build your own facility? For one Digital Realty client this was the question that they faced but the right solution turned out to be a little different than they originally thought. What was the solution?

GoGrid needed a state-of-the-art data center in the heart of the financial district to be up and running within days. As a fast-growing technology company headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, they needed a scalable data center with a robust infrastructure and an experienced operations team to support the cloudbased services they provide to their customers. Find out why they turned to Digital Realty.

This paper explains some of the causes of stranded power, cooling, and space capacity in colocation data centers and explains how high-density rack power distribution, air containment, and other practices improve availability and efficiency. Examples of acceptable use policies that address these issues are provided.

While enterprises continue to own and operate in-house datacenters, their use of colocation and other outsourcing services is growing fast. Demand for colocation and wholesale datacenters, with their readily available space and power, their professional operations teams and, increasingly, their rich connectivity and value-added offerings, has never been stronger. 451 Research forecasts that the operational square footage of the global colocation and wholesale sector will grow at a healthy 7% CAGR from 2017 to 2020.

Colocation providers are dealing with market forces that represent both great opportunity and significant challenge – in some cases from the same development. Providers have to deal with an ever-changing set of buyers, with CFOs and COOs playing an increased role in the decision-making. And they need to address emerging trends such as the Internet of Things and cloud computing, which can have both a positive and negative impact on their businesses.

To win the colocation race you need to be faster, reliable, innovative and efficient –all while making smarter design choices that will ensure positive returns. Customers are demanding 100% uptime and always-on connectivity –be it small enterprises to large Internet Giants–and colocation providers need to meet these expectations. The growing adoption of prefabricated data centers allows just that. With the undisputed benefits of prefab modules and building components(like speed or quality),colocation providers can manage their business today, and deploy faster in the future. Chris Crosby, CEO for Compass Datacenters, is well-known for his expertise in the data center industry. From its founding in 2012, Compass’ data center solutions have used prefabricated components like exterior walls and power centers to deliver brandable, dedicated facilities for colocation providers. Prefabrication is the central element of the company’s “Kit of Parts” methodology that delivers customizable data center solutions from the core to the edge. By attending this webinar, colocation providers will: • understand the flexibility and value delivered via the use of prefabricated construction • Hear the common misperceptions regarding prefabricated modules and data center components • learn how prefabricated solutions can provide more revenue generation capability than competing alternatives • know what key things to consider when evaluating prefabricated data center design

Attracting Investors Webinar: With more than $18 billion in M&A activity in the first half of last year alone, the colocation industry is riding the bubble of rapid growth.

451 Research befragte mehr als 450 Entscheidungsträger, die für die Auswahl von Colocation-Dienstleistungen verantwortlich sind, um Einblicke in Faktoren zu gewinnen, die die Nachfrage nach Colocation antreiben.

Einige potenzielle Nutzer von Colocation-Datacenter empfinden die bewährte Verfahren zur Stromversorgung und Kühlung als einschränkend. Allerdings können effektive Nutzungsbedingungen Ausfallzeiten aufgrund von thermischer Abschaltung und menschlichem Versagen verkürzen, Kapazitätseinschränkungen aufgrund von unnötigem Energieverbrauch verringern und die Lebensdauer der anfänglichen Mietfläche verlängern und somit Kosten für zu groß dimensionierte Reserveflächen vermeiden. Dieses Dokument erläutert einige Ursachen für unnötigen Energieverbrauch, Kühlung und Flächennutzung in Datacentern für Colocation-Services und erläutert, wie Stromverteilung, Luftabsaugung und andere Verfahren die Verfügbarkeit und Effizienz in kompakten Racks steigern können. Es werden Beispiele für Nutzungsbedingungen gegeben, die zur Lösung dieser Probleme beitragen.

Es gibt einen besseren Weg Gruppen (oder Pods) von IT-Racks zu implementieren und zu verwalten. Wirkungsvolle, freistehende Pod-Rahmen-Einhausungssysteme können schnell zusammengebaut und als Überkopfverlegung-Montierungspunkt für Dienste verwendet werden. Im Gegensatz zu herkömmlichen Implementierungen, ist die Lufteinhausung und unterstützende Infrastruktur am Rahmen befestigt,was ein einfaches ein- und rausfahren der Racks ermöglicht Pods und jegliche unterstützende Infrastruktur können implementiert werdenbevor die Racks in die richtige Stelle gerollt werden.
