TAB Case Study: The Ultimate Data Centre Configuration  Three years ago, the IT
group at a leading Canadian Communications Company was on a mission
to find the “ultimate configuration” for their Montreal data centre.
Their success in the Canadian communications market had meant
continued growth, pushing their existing facility to its limits.
Consequently the IT group found themselves facing thermal, space,
power and cabling issues with increasing frequency. So when it was
decided to build an extension onto the data centre, they were
determined to get it right. They wanted a partner to help them find
a flexible solution that would give them more power, more cooling,
more space, cable management, and the ability to grow. After a very
long and highly competitive selection process, they chose TAB to be
that partner. Read more…2006 In Review: TAB’s Most Viewed Articles To kick off 2007, we’ve put together our top 3 most viewed articles and case studies from last year.

efficiently cools 8kW of equipment within 44U, by incorporating the
building air conditioning system and the computer cabinets into one
closed-loop cooling system. Events & News 
Planning Saves on Cabling CostsThe ever increasing demand for processing power has meant that every year more and more equipment has to be shoehorned into the data centre. This has put the focus on an often forgotten topic: cabling. When it comes to structured cabling, the emphasis is on planning. Addressing the cabling requirements in the planning stages of a build or move can save you a significant amount of money. Power Whatever the WeatherCutting power costs and cooling hot servers are uppermost on the minds of data centre managers everywhere, but with the increase in extreme weather episodes, you would be well advised to review your power infrastructure. ITWorld Canada recently carried an interesting article on outage-proofing the data centre and why data centre managers need to be more diligent about it. Two Major Players, Two Major Data CentresRecently, both Google and Microsoft announced plans to build huge data centre facilities to keep up with online demand. Google’s facility will cost an estimated $710 million (CDN) and will be built in North Carolina, while Microsoft’s data centre will come in around $650 million (CDN) and be built in San Antonio, Texas. |
