Why Modern Data Centers Require Better Insulation Strategies for Continuous Uptime

From streaming platforms to banking networks, today's digital demands rest on advanced facilities that operate without pause. With companies relying heavily on constant connectivity, stability within these environments matters more than ever before. A short disruption might result not only in monetary setbacks but also slower workflows and weakened confidence among users. Although computing hardware, climate controls, and emergency energy sources typically dominate discussions, protective layering quietly contributes just as much to seamless performance.

Europe's Heatwave Is a Real-Time Stress Test for Data Center Infrastructure

Europe is in the middle of one of its most severe heat events on record, and the effects go well beyond public health. As temperatures across France, Spain, the UK, and Germany push into record territory, the strain on power grids, cooling systems, and physical infrastructure is becoming impossible to ignore. For data center operators, maintaining uptime in this environment demands the real-time visibility that modern Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software can provide.

Designing Safe Traffic Flows for On-Premise Data Centers

On-premise data centers handle massive amounts of hardware and infrastructure. Managing the physical layout requires serious attention to movement and safety. Heavy servers, delivery crates, and technical teams move through these spaces daily. Creating a smooth flow minimizes accidents and protects valuable digital assets. Clear pathways make daily operations predictable and safe for everyone on site.

The sovereignty debate explained with Nine23

Who really owns your data? Data sovereignty has become one of the defining issues shaping digital infrastructure, cloud strategy and AI adoption. But what does it actually mean, and why has it become a board-level discussion for so many organisations? In Episode 4 of Perspectives from the Edge, Pulsant's Wendy Shearer is joined by Steve Jewell, CEO of Nine23, to explore data sovereignty and its relationship to security, resilience and digital transformation.

The Godfather of AI Ready Data Centers | OCOLO CEO & Founder Tony Rossabi

AI is reshaping digital infrastructure, but the biggest challenge isn't always building bigger data centers, it's finding the power to run them. In this episode of Uplink, Michael Reid sits down with Tony Rossabi, Founder & CEO of OCOLO, to discuss how AI is changing the data center industry and what it takes to deliver the next generation of infrastructure.

AI is only one of four things driving the data center boom

Tony Rossabi, aka the Godfather, has spent 30 years in this industry. Car washes to Telx to building data centers. He sat down with our CEO Michael Reid to break down what’s actually happening underneath the AI headlines, from where the real demand is coming from, to why a single megawatt of power is so hard to find, and how a team of eight is building 19 ten-megawatt facilities across two continents in 24 months.

Why Traditional DCIM Systems Fall Short: A Look at Cost and Complexity Solutions with Hyperview

Traditional DCIM systems often become a tangle of complexity just when your team needs clear, actionable insight. You’re stuck managing bulky software that slows onboarding and drives up costs without delivering the real-time infrastructure visibility you need. Hyperview offers a different path: a cloud-based DCIM platform powered by AI that cuts through the noise to give you faster decisions, lower operational drag, and smarter control.

Top Considerations When Evaluating DCIM Vendors

Choosing a Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform is one of the more consequential decisions a data center team will make. Get it right, and you gain an accurate digital twin of your physical infrastructure, a single source of truth across teams, improved operational visibility, and a platform for planning, reporting, and automation. Get it wrong, and you risk a failed deployment, a platform that doesn't fit your needs, or a shelfware investment that's hard to justify renewing.

UK GDPR compliance for cloud and hosting: requirements, risks and responsibilities

UK organisations using cloud services carry a clear legal obligation: they must demonstrate compliance with UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, not simply assert it. The shift to cloud and hosted infrastructure does not transfer that responsibility to a provider. It distributes it across a chain of controllers and processors that regulators expect you to understand and manage. Post-Brexit, that obligation is set within a distinct legal framework.
