Blackmail viruses, malware, hacker attacks are important areas that data center operators are fighting day in and day out. But there are more direct, constant threats, which should also not be forgotten, and it is worthwhile to design the infrastructure to operate on a bomb-proof basis.
Today, articles in which the latest deal with data theft, extortion virus attacks that paralyze data centers. That’s why it’s also clear that operators are trying to do everything they can to prevent something from happening to them, which is why the following tech news is already about them.
Important good plan ahead
It’s a good idea to think about protecting your data center hardware when you’re planning to get servers and other items and make room. In such cases, it can often be a significant advantage to entrust this phase to experts who have serious experience in this field: according to Attila Csehi, senior customer manager of H1 Systems Engineering Services Ltd., many people have already realized that the more business activities they support with IT systems, the greater they can gain a competitive advantage. It is vital for them to have fast, seamless access to their business applications at all times, anywhere.
“To do this, they need server infrastructures that provide the conditions to run their IT assets in a cost- and energy-efficient, fault-tolerant manner. In addition to the physical protection of IT equipment, ensuring high availability is also an important aspect, for which efficient cooling and uninterruptible power supply of the equipment is essential.We also have extensive experience in the operation of machine rooms, all aspects during design and construction. whether it’s a couple of server environments or a multi-megawatt infrastructure, “he explained.
Personalized solutions
H1 Systems offers several solutions according to the size of the customer. For SMEs with 2-10 kW total IT capacity and a few server environments, an integrated modular safe may be the best solution: it can easily not only cool the equipment, provide uninterruptible power supply, but also set up the fire protection system and the necessary monitoring system. to shape. In addition, all of this can be quickly integrated into an existing environment and moved with lightning speed, even during a move or conversion. according to which the new system can be built, or the existing one can be transformed and expanded in a modern and safe way. Here, it is up to H1 Systems to offer a smaller built machine room or a container data center based on special needs, which includes cooling, power supply, extinguishing and physical protection. It is up to the site, the project schedule and the need for portability.
Finally, there are the “big guns” where not only the load but also the diversity and complexity of the data center determines the rest. “For machine rooms with an IT load of more than 150 kW, we need to talk about serious data center infrastructure, design and deployment. We help our customers make decisions by providing business decision-making material or, in many cases, future plans based on their current situation, development strategy and technical and economic parameters. accordingly, we compile a DC strategy for them in accordance with internationally accepted standards, “concluded Gábor Takács, an ATD-qualified colleague accredited by the H1 Systems Uptime Institute, who is an active participant in the design and construction of data centers requiring greater complexity as a building engineer designer and data center expert.
Let’s review and improve
Not only when new data centers are built well-experienced help: H1 Systems engineers are often approached by adding even more IT tools to the current server room k, and for this the maximum load capacity of their machine room must be determined in advance. As part of the audit service, the specialists assess the current mechanical and tram capacities, and develop proposals with cost calculations for their expansion and development. In many cases, the scope covers not only the hardware devices and the control of their redundancy, but also the review of the operation and maintenance processes, as this ensures the long-term operation of the machines. Development plans are developed in close cooperation with our customers, in line with their growth plans and their schedule.
Whether it is the design of a completely new data center or the development of an existing system, the work should not be taken lightly: use expert assistance to ensure that the infrastructure serves everyone in a bomb-proof, fast and transparent manner, giving them a clear competitive advantage.
