AI is booming. The AI market is projected to grow 37.3% annually from 2023 to 2030. With so many organizations adopting or considering AI applications, data centers need to be ready to support the new demand. However, without the right tools and data, it is difficult to understand if your existing facilities have the capacity to support systems like the “gold standard for AI infrastructure,” the NVIDIA DGX H100.

As data centers become increasingly decentralized, managing them remotely is now a must-have skill. Data center professionals need to maintain uptime, increase efficiency, and boost productivity across all their global sites without leaving their desk. While this might have once seemed near-impossible, with the right tools and processes, remotely managing your data center can be even better than physically being there.

Are data center managers reversing their cloud strategy? Cloud repatriation is the process of migrating applications, data, and workloads from a public cloud environment to on-premise infrastructure, and it’s becoming a popular data center trend.

Data center consolidation involves reducing the number of servers, storage, network systems, racks, or entire data center sites to improve IT efficiency and create a more streamlined environment with lower space, power, and cooling requirements. As businesses migrate their workloads to the cloud or virtualize servers, the need for physical space decreases. This prompts companies to downsize their footprint, utilizing existing resources more and alleviating data center management challenges.

For many data center professionals, the daily operations of a data center require a lot of repetitive manual data entry tasks. Manually entering data about data center assets over and over again is not only time-consuming, but it risks inaccurate information due to human error. However, there is a new way forward.
