Data centres are ageing and companies are not planning ahead or demonstrating timely investment in new facilities, according to a recent survey.

The Aperture Research Institute study of more than 600 data centre facilities worldwide found that more than a third were built over four years ago.

Most organisations have problems coping with the intense power and cooling demands of modern hardware, such as high-density blade servers and virtualisation technologies, in these facilities.

Data centers continue to be in the news, in terms of businesses reaching their capacity be it living on the edge, or at operational safety levels in terms of power and cooling. This is set to continue, what matters is how your business is coping, what steps you’re taking in the data center operations, considering actions like server decommissioning, consolidation and virtualization will certainly help in the short term. Going forward matching the business needs with your data center objectives is the way forward, though it’s not always as easy to do as it is to say.  Evaluating your data center, where it is and where you need to be is the way forward, as is getting all the stakeholders involved.
