Who keeps an eye on the equipment while the IT manager is on holiday?

You have probably all seen the NASA control center in a film. A room with a large screen and some smaller monitors, filled with people intently watching the screen and knowing the status and vital parameters of every piece of equipment on board the spacecraft. A similar control center, with a huge screen and a dedicated staff, can also be found in larger data centers. They will not be going into space, but much like the people working at NASA, they have a critical role to play in the success of the mission.

How to save nature using the Internet?

How much does watching one short video add to the world’s carbon footprint? How often should a comprehensive clean-up of the cloud take place, so that the servers in data centers would not be working for no reason? Is it more economical to send a text message, email, or a DM on Facebook? We do not really ponder these questions, but maybe we should.

‘It’s all very interesting, but we have already seen enough of your kind’ – how the first world-class data center was built in Estonia

The hot weather is endangering IT equipment. What can be done to protect it?

The 30-degree heat wave may be behind us for now, but we never know when extreme weather conditions surprise us again. While the fortunate can seek relief from the summer heat in cool lake water, it is not a feasible solution for IT equipment. How can we be sure that our devices can survive the heat wave?

How to recognise a green data center?

Keeping our digital society running is energy-intensive. Very much so. Data centers – the physical location of the internet – account for approximately three percent of the global annual energy consumption. By 2030, the consumption is expected to rise over ten percent. Therefore, the importance of using green energy in data centers and doing this as efficiently as possible is clear.

How to protect your e-business from costly outages?

What does one hour of downtime mean for your organisation? How about one day? What would happen to deadlines and what would be the economic damage? In the modern world, these traumas are caused by failures in IT devices or data movement which have evolved into the lifeblood of organisations. However, there is a cure for such interruptions if you keep your IT devices in a place where their reliability is guaranteed in more than one way.

Data Center Security - Stepping Up the Game!

If data is the gold of the digital age, then it is only natural that data centers must be as secure as banks. Even Tom Cruise would find it impossible to break into the largest data center in the Baltics located in Hüüru near Tallinn – the security of the center is ensured with measures almost fitting for the scenario of a science fiction film.

How does your digital welfare depend on data centers?

Every online service and a piece of information used in it or an activity online must be physically located somewhere. As a rule, servers and connected IT devices that accept, process, store, and issue information are used for this purpose. Currently, those devices are located in fridge-sized cabinets in data centers that stand side-by-side in a row in smaller and larger rooms adjusted for this purpose. For example, the largest data center in the Baltics contains enough of such cabinets to cover two football fields.
