‘On-premise versus cloud’ remains the heavyweight division of digital infrastructure rivalries. And depending on where you look, both sides claim victory. Cloud is often perceived as a runaway success. As part of report into the domestic cloud services market, UK regulator Ofcom noted that the UK cloud infrastructure market is growing, with overall revenues increasing at a rate of 35% to 40% annually.1.

Data center environmental sensors helps data center managers maintain uptime, increase energy efficiency, and remotely manage their data centers. From temperature and humidity to other parameters like airflow, these sensors can be paired with modern data center management software to provide real-time insights and alerts, enabling proactive management and rapid response to potential issues. There are many types of sensors and vendors on the market.

We’re thrilled to share Version 4.4 release with new feature updates: Business Entities for tracking customers, partners, and departments, improved control for transfer switch power devices, streamlined bulk actions for Business Entity association with assets, enhanced import capabilities for connections and circuits, and advanced search function to filter by Business Entity for easier, more efficient work.

Key disciplines include power, cooling, facilities, networks, data storage, and sustainability. Leveraging Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software can significantly aid in this process by offering comprehensive visibility and control over resources.

AI-driven processes, including machine learning models and data processing, require significant computational resources which can lead to increased energy consumption and heightened operational costs. The complexity of these workloads, which often involve real-time data analysis and continuous model training, exacerbates the need for robust data center management.

The recent McKinsey report, the state of cloud computing in Europe has exposed not only low returns, but also serious challenges for businesses embracing cloud as the basis of digital transformation. The first concern is that not only is the value of cloud ‘in isolated pockets and at subscale ’, but also that it is limited to the IT department. Whilst 75 percent of those surveyed reported either technology cost savings or productivity increases, only one-third have seen such savings beyond IT.
