CFO Reveals: 30% of Your Servers Are Wasting Money RIGHT NOW

In this exclusive interview with Ticker's business news show, Joyda Bianco, CFO of Hyperview, exposes a shocking industry secret: nearly one-third of servers in enterprise data centers are obsolete, unused, or "comatose"—consuming electricity and occupying valuable rack space while contributing absolutely nothing to business operations. That's potentially millions in wasted operational expenses and thousands of tons of unnecessary carbon emissions. But as Bianco explains, this crisis represents your single biggest quick-win for cost reduction and sustainability improvement.

10 Ways to Optimize Data Center Operations

Running a data center efficiently is no small feat. From managing energy costs to preventing downtime, there's a lot that can go wrong—and a lot that can be optimized. Discover 10 actionable ways to enhance your data center operations, with practical tips on how Hyperview DCIM software can help you achieve these improvements more easily and effectively.

Digital Infrastructure Expertise: The Secret Sauce for Scaling AI

The past few years have seen the incredible rise of cloud-native AI start-ups, many of them born during the pandemic. These companies emerged agile, experimental, and ready to scale. But as their ambitions grow and their AI models become more complex, they face a critical crossroads: how to manage infrastructure sustainably while continuing to innovate at speed. In the early days, public cloud services were the obvious choice.

We need to talk about HFC-227ea

Data centres often hold the fluorinated gas (f-gas) HFC-227ea, traded under the name FM-200, as an emergency measure to stop fires in data halls and technical space without harming electrical equipment. Robust fire prevention helps avoid devastating human, operational, financial, and environmental consequences, but there’s a problem with this particular gas – if released, it has an immense global warming potential.

Data Center VXLAN Overlay Visibility at Scale

VXLAN overlays bring flexibility to modern data centers, but they also hide what operators most need to see: true host-to-host and service-to-service traffic. Kentik restores that visibility by decoding VXLAN from sFlow, exposing both overlay endpoints and underlay paths in a single view without the cost and complexity of pervasive packet capture — the result: faster troubleshooting, smarter capacity planning, and confident operations at scale.

Using DCIM to Consolidate and Drive Down Colo Costs

As colocation demand surges, space is becoming increasingly scarce and costly. According to CBRE, the average asking rate in primary wholesale colocation markets for a 250–500 kW requirement has climbed 12.6% year-over-year to a record $184.06 per kW/month, while vacancy rates have dropped to a record-low 1.9%. With vacancy rates low and power costs rising, doing more with less in your data center is essential.

Unlocking Growth for Northern FinTechs

FinTech is more than just a fast-growing industry; it can drive economic prosperity and improve quality of life, not just in the traditional financial hub of London, but across the whole of the UK. The sector’s success, especially outside the capital, is critical for regional growth and a more balanced national economy.

Securing Your Business's Future with Cloud Services

We're taking a look at how you can secure your business's future with cloud services and how security threats can seriously impact your business. Security concerns for cloud-based services often start small, with a missed update, a misconfigured setting, or an overlooked access point. But in practice, those small gaps can open into much wider vulnerabilities, affecting not just data but the ability to operate.

Compliance Requirements for Financial Services

We're taking a look at how you can secure your business's future with cloud services and how security threats can seriously impact your business. Moving to the cloud has changed the way organisations handle infrastructure, but for highly regulated sectors like finance, it’s never been a straightforward leap. It comes with serious scrutiny, and a long list of requirements to meet before any workloads can safely be moved off-prem.

Automating Network Diagrams for A Complete View of All Active and Passive Components

Accurately tracking how data center devices are connected—across switches, patch panels, structured cabling, and more—is essential for efficient data center operations. But for many teams, documentation still lives in static diagrams or outdated spreadsheets, requiring extensive manual effort. This is time-consuming and leads to inaccuracies that can cause delays in planning or troubleshooting and unnecessary risk. Sunbird DCIM changes that.
