Is It Time To Decommission Your Data Center?
Data centers are extremely complex to manage, and the task of decommissioning a data center is far from trivial. Decisions must be made regarding which equipment, if any, can be reused in the new data center.

The Importance of Scalability and Cost of Data Center Solutions
Two of the most influential benefits in data center solutions are scalability and cost. These two advantages have the potential to impact data center performance the most. They also are key reasons for a business migrating to a service provider’s data center colocation facility.

Aquatherm: High Performance, Long-Lasting, and Environmentally Friendly Pipes and Fittings
Ideally hydronic pipe should not be affected by the fluid it is carrying, and the fluid should not be affected by the pipe.

These effects are mitigated through the use of closed systems where possible, chemical treatment, PH-treatment, etc.
