The start of the year is an opportunity to ‘reset,’ as each of us are given a clean slate/record. Resolutions are traditionally associated with the new year as people take stock of past mistakes and use key learnings to make wiser decisions.
With a majority of resolutions revolving around promoting healthier, better versions of one’s self, this month’s topic treads the same course, albeit for data centers. In this issue we discuss the top culprits for data center failure, and study in the accompanying white paper what we can do to avoid such errors.
Thank you for your continued support of Network News, and of Emerson Network Power! All the best to you and your organization this 2011.
Cheers,
