Hyperview DCIM 5.4 Software Release

Hyperview 5.4 brings a host of powerful updates designed to give users more control, better insights, and a smoother experience across the platform. The release introduces per-sensor access control, allowing teams to restrict visibility to specific sensors for tighter data governance. New location dashboard widgets provide at-a-glance insights into rack power rankings, facility power usage, average temperature, and humidity over time. BACnet/IP monitoring has been upgraded to support more complex network topologies, while search functionality has been improved with exact/fuzzy match toggles and advanced filtering options.

AI Hosting: The Colocation vs. Cloud Dilemma for Your Next Project

Organisations running AI workloads, like banks training fraud detection models, hospitals testing diagnostic tools, or manufacturers using predictive analytics, all face the same problem: hosting them is costly and resource-intensive. They require dedicated GPUs running non-stop, vast amounts of data moving in and out, and far more power and cooling than a typical IT system.

How Do I Integrate DCIM With My Existing ITSM System?

In many organizations, ITSM tools and data center infrastructure tools operate in separate silos, leading to incomplete records and limited visibility. CMDB records are often incomplete or out of date because updates rely on manual entry, while incidents, changes, and service requests in ITSM lack full visibility into the physical infrastructure. Integrating DCIM with ITSM closes this gap, ensuring CMDB data matches reality and linking service workflows to accurate, actionable information.

Cloud Strategy for 2026: the Year of Repatriation, Resilience, and Regional Rebalancing

This year is set to be a pivotal year for cloud strategy, with repatriation gaining momentum due to shifting legislative, geopolitical, and technological pressures. This trend has accelerated, with a growing focus on data sovereignty. These challenges have set the stage for 2026 to be the year of repatriation, resilience, and regional rebalancing. Here, Rob Coupland, Chief Executive Officer at Pulsant, offers his insights.

2026 - the year of repatriation, resilience, and regional rebalancing

2025 was a tough year for businesses, with slow growth, high costs, cyber risks and geopolitical uncertainties all contributing to a challenging climate. More than ever, businesses must innovate to survive and grow, and digital infrastructure will play a key role in 2026. Last year I predicted a pivotal year for cloud strategy, with repatriation gaining momentum due to shifting legislative, geopolitical, and technological pressures. This trend has accelerated, with a growing focus on data sovereignty.

Top Signs Your Data Center Is Ready for a Server Upgrade: Why Refurbished Hardware Makes Sense

There comes a point when your servers start making everyday tasks feel slower than they should. Maybe you notice apps taking a little longer to load or routine jobs dragging more than usual. In a busy data center, this kind of shift pops up when the hardware starts falling behind.

Why local internet traffic matters more than you think

Imagine sending a letter to your neighbour across the street, only for it to be routed through London or even Amsterdam before landing in their letterbox. This is effectively what happens to much of Scotland’s internet traffic. Despite physical proximity between users, businesses and services, digital data is frequently sent on needlessly long journeys, often leaving the country before reaching its destination.

Why Monitoring the Physical Environment Matters: From Data Centers to Factory Floors

Physical environment monitoring is the practice of measuring and tracking environmental conditions that directly affect equipment, people, and operational continuity. While digital systems dominate modern operations, physical conditions still determine whether those systems perform reliably or fail unexpectedly. A single temperature spike, humidity imbalance, or power fluctuation can undo layers of software redundancy.

AI Reliability, Part 2: When the Datacenter Becomes the Bottleneck

In Part 1, we talked about all the hidden complexity inside AI systems: the pipelines, GPUs, embeddings, vector databases, orchestration layers, and everything else that quietly determines how reliable an AI-first product really is. But all of that software still rests on something far less glamorous: the physical infrastructure underneath it.
