Troubleshooting Network Connectivity Issues

In a real-time environment, I am pretty sure that 100% of network administrators have had a chance for troubleshooting network connectivity issues.  Most of the troubles might have shown different indications and you would have fixed it after spending a lot of time towards this. Let us see some of the most common symptoms that we

Racks and Cabinets in a data center

When you are working in a data center, you might all have heard the word racks and cabinets. Are these are same or is there any difference between both? What would be the industry standard to define its size and shape? Let’s have a look at these concepts in detail. A rack is an open

Data Center Containment System

We have seen multiple ways to distribute the cold/hot air within the white space area. According to  TIA 942-B, the “Cabinets and racks shall be arranged in an alternating pattern, with fronts of cabinets/racks facing each other in a row to create “hot” and “cold” aisles.”. In the previous article, we have seen different ways to distribute/return the air

Cooling Strategies in data center white space area

In my previous article, we have seen multiple ways to generate cold air and pull out the hot air. But all these things were showing only the supply/return until the white space. Have you ever wondered how this airflow is managed effectively inside the white space area? If this is not managed properly all your efforts for

Cooling System Components in a data center

Data center Cooling Infrastructure

The high-density deployments of modern data centers have intensive power demands, but much of that power doesn’t actually go to the servers and computing equipment itself. Instead, it goes to the cooling equipment that prevents those systems from overheating. Data Center cooling refers to collective equipment, tools, techniques and processes that ensure an idle operating

Power Train structure

Data Center Power Infrastructure

In my previous article about data centers we have seen, there are four major key constraints in a data center infrastructure.  Typically there are four primary physical key pillars that is the major factor for the successful operation of a data center and those are Power Cooling Connectivity Space Each of these pillars is having its own unexceptional roles to the

Compliance policies and procedures in data centers

Along with the growth of information technology, the amount of data accumulated is also rapidly grown. The biggest threat that existing on these days is to make sure these data are secure. In order to make sure the high availability of data without cyber any attack or losing chances it’s necessary to take necessary steps

Data center power availability provisioning

Through my previous post, you would all have to understand the importance of having power redundancy to provide maximum uptime. However, we do have to consider that this engineering is designed as per our requirement as conservative over-provisioning of power capacity for availability reasons results in significant capital investment for large enterprises because this capacity is

What are the risks that may affect the availability of a data center

Availability of a data center means the maximum uptime that the operation of a data center works without any failure. Availability is determined by a system’s reliability and it’s recovery time. System downtime can cause a major impact on business entities, it is necessary to know what are the risks that may affect the availability

What are data center availability modes and different standards

In this article, we will discuss about various data center availability models such as data center Tier Ratings 1-2-3-4, EN 50600 Availability classes (1-4), TIA 942-B Ratings (1-4), 10 Syska Hennessy Criticality Levels, ANSI/BICSI Classes (F0-F4), and N, N+1, 2N, 2(N+1) Data Center availability modes define the availability of physical infrastructure in case of any failure. It’s quite
