Air-side and water-side economizers offer the potential for significant energy savings by using the ambient environment to augment or replace mechanical air conditioning. Depending on your location, environment, data center design and existing infrastructure, implementing a “free cooling” strategy can be extremely challenging.

Scot Heath, 42U's CTO will introduce water-side and air-side techniques, discuss the costs and benefits and shed light on what experts and ASHRAE are saying about Free Cooling and Economization.

Exponential data growth brings with it many tough challenges for modern business. IT teams are struggling to ensure data availability under tight fiscal constraints.

Online backup, offered as a managed service, answers these challenges by leveraging existing server and network infrastructures to securely and efficiently protect servers and key applications against data loss. Its ability to immediately move backed up copies of data securely off-site, away from any potential site disaster, is a key differentiator. Automation and deduplication, as well as greater security, reliability, and easier, more centralised administration, suggest that online backup is the right choice for businesses that are serious about protecting their business-critical data.
