Expert Insight: Why Local Internet Traffic Matters More Than You Think

Expert Insight: Why Local Internet Traffic Matters More Than You Think

Feb 20, 2026 By Mike Hoy, CTO, Pulsant, and Mike Hellers, Product Development Manager, LINX In Pulsant
Imagine sending a letter to your neighbour across the street, only for it to be routed through London or even Amsterdam before landing in their letterbox. This is effectively what happens to much of Scotland's internet traffic. Despite physical proximity between users, businesses and services, digital data is frequently sent on needlessly long journeys, often leaving the country before reaching its destination. This approach is inefficient, costly and poses questions about privacy, resilience and digital sovereignty.

Integrating DCIM and ServiceNow: 4 Customer Success Stories

Feb 12, 2026 By Sunbird In Sunbird
Managing assets, tickets, and workflows across multiple data center sites can be complex and time-consuming. When IT service management (ITSM) and DCIM tools operate in separate silos, teams often face incomplete information, duplicated effort, and limited visibility into the physical infrastructure. Integrating Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software with ITSM platforms like ServiceNow ensures that asset, configuration, and ticket data remain aligned across systems.

What Are the Benefits of Integrating DCIM with Your Existing Tools?

Feb 12, 2026 By Sunbird In Sunbird
Modern data centers rely on a growing number of specialized tools—CMDBs, ITSM platforms, network and server management systems, virtualization platforms, and more. Each solves a specific operational problem, but when these systems operate in isolation, teams face inconsistent data, manual updates, and slower decision-making. Integrating Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) software with your existing tools solves these challenges by consolidating information into a single pane of glass.

Perspectives from the Edge: Data Sovereignty with KPMG

Feb 11, 2026 By PulsantUK In Pulsant
Data sovereignty isn’t a checkbox – it’s now a board-level priority. Data sovereignty is everywhere right now, but for many organisations, it still feels abstract. In this first episode of Perspectives from the Edge, Assad Noori, Head of Digital Infrastructure Advisory for the UK at KPMG, speaks with Pulsant's Wendy Shearer, about why sovereignty has become a board-level issue, how AI and hybrid infrastructure are reshaping long-held assumptions, and why decisions about where data lives, moves, and is accessed now carry far wider implications than most organisations expect.

AI Hosting: The Colocation vs. Cloud Dilemma for Your Next Project

AI Hosting: The Colocation vs. Cloud Dilemma for Your Next Project

Jan 23, 2026 By Pulsant In Pulsant
Organisations running AI workloads, like banks training fraud detection models, hospitals testing diagnostic tools, or manufacturers using predictive analytics, all face the same problem: hosting them is costly and resource-intensive. They require dedicated GPUs running non-stop, vast amounts of data moving in and out, and far more power and cooling than a typical IT system.

How Do I Integrate DCIM With My Existing ITSM System?

Jan 23, 2026 By Sunbird In Sunbird
In many organizations, ITSM tools and data center infrastructure tools operate in separate silos, leading to incomplete records and limited visibility. CMDB records are often incomplete or out of date because updates rely on manual entry, while incidents, changes, and service requests in ITSM lack full visibility into the physical infrastructure. Integrating DCIM with ITSM closes this gap, ensuring CMDB data matches reality and linking service workflows to accurate, actionable information.

Why Modern Data Centers Prefer Liquid Cooling Systems for Performance Efficiency

Why Modern Data Centers Prefer Liquid Cooling Systems for Performance Efficiency

Jan 23, 2026 By OpsMatters In OpsMatters
Data centers sit at the heart of digital infrastructure and demand precise thermal control. Performance efficiency depends on stable temperatures that protect hardware and maintain consistent output. Cooling choices now shape how facilities scale and sustain advanced computing loads. Liquid cooling systems have gained preference as processing density rises. These systems address thermal challenges with greater precision and control. Their adoption reflects a strategic shift toward efficiency-driven design.
