Article Summary by: SorS In 1978, the State Data Center (SDC) Program began as a cooperative agreement between the states and the U.S. Bureau of the Census. te Data Centers assist the Census Bureau by disseminating Census and other federal statistics. A variety of statistical reports from State and Federal agencies may be accessed through the NJSDC network. Most statistics are from the U.S. Bureau of the Census' regular and special censuses and surveys. NJSDC publishes New Jersey data from the 2000 Census of Population and Housing as they are available on a flow basis. The mission of the State Data Center program is to provide efficient access to U.S. Census Bureau data and data products, provide training and technical assistance to data users, and provide a mechanism for feedback to the Census Bureau on data usability, state and local government data needs, and operational issues.

Article Summary by: SorS These new technologies support Cisco's vision to help its customers to design and build next-generation data centers. The Cisco vision for Data Center 3.0 entails the real-time, dynamic orchestration of infrastructure services from shared pools of virtualized server, storage and network resources, while optimizing application performance, service levels, efficiency and collaboration. The company installed wireless sensors in various locations in the data center to measure the individual temperatures of server racks. Software from SynapSense offers IT staff a color-coded temperature presentation of each server rack featuring one of the wireless sensors. The Research Data Center is managed by the Operations group within OIT's Technical Services and Support unit. An advisory board consisting of OIT and non-OIT staff oversees usage of the room and helps to advise researchers interested in co-locating in the space.

You really do not want to hear that question. You especially do not want to answer that question in the negative. If someone asks you that question then it is a pretty good bet that some sort of data melt down just happened. If you have a computer backup system, then it's all good. If not, then you are looking at some serious downtime and some big time money. To understand the need for online computer backup you do not need to just focus on a complete disaster. There are many day to day side benefits from a data center disaster recovery plan. Here are just some of them: |

The floor of a data center is an important parameter of the overall design. Basically there are two types of floors used in data centers namely raised flooring as well as solid flooring. Each of these have their own set of advantages and drawbacks and careful consideration is required on the part of a design engineer to find out which one is better suited for a particular requirement. From the perspective of load requirements, the solid type of floor certainly offers better load carrying capacity than their raised counterparts. This is an important observation since with the increasing technological developments, the data center equipments are getting denser by the day, meaning thereby that they are putting increasing pressure on the floors, and this needs to be taken into consideration. For example a typical equipment rack could easily weight nearly a thousand kilos. It may not be a big problem if this were a fixed weight but many times it may be required to relocate these equipment racks within the data center. This certainly calls for a very strong floor design, especially if it is of the raised floor type. In the absence of proper reinforcements in such a case, it may lead to bending and buckling of the floors with a potential to damage the costly equipment which might be worth millions of dollars in cost, not to mention the indirect cost of downtime due to such a damage which might be several times more than this. |
