MARCH – APRIL 2021 ISSUE
The first anniversary of the pandemic has now passed and while this is no celebratory achievement, maybe we should consider it a time of reflection on just how far we have come.
While we don’t know for sure if the pandemic has transformed things for good, the last year has seen some major reshaping that the datacentre industry has had to consider. Has technology’s sharp learning curve seen a shift of priorities? And most importantly, have cyber attacks and malware outbreaks capitalised on these changes?
In this issue, we take a look at protection and security with articles from Rich Turner at CyberArk, Andrea Babbs at VIPRE Security Ltd, Daniel Warelow, Giacom and Kelvin Murray, Webroot, and Steve Cummins at Opengear, who all explore how to respond to ever-increasing cyberattack and malware issues.
Investment and security in the Edge are also covered in editorial pieces from Carsten Ludwig, Reichle & De-Massari and Stephane Cardot of Quantum, while we also take a look at AI’s impact in data centres with a feature from Oliver Goodman at Telehouse.
Just because we’ve transformed so much over the course of the past twelve months doesn’t mean we should rest on our laurels. We need to continue to plan for the future. We look at colocation and multi-tenant data centres in a feature from Brian Johnson at ABB, while Alan Hayward of SEH Technology looks at the top factors that businesses need to consider when building a network in order to maximise efficiency and productivity. Darren Watkins of VIRTUS Data Centres also considers the optimisation of the datacentre and how to prepare for an environmentally responsible future and Matthew Margetts, Smarter Technologies points out five steps towards environmental compliance.
But that’s not all. Craig Abbot of Ovarro explains why remote telemetry units (RTU) are vital for minimising congestion in intelligent power, utility, broadcast and transport.
We continue the subject matter of sustainability in our next issue, due out in early June. If you would like to contribute feature articles on sustainability or on our other focus themes of UPS/power and structured cabling systems, then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Until next time, continue to stay safe and well.
