11. Standards in The White Space
from The White Space: a Data Center Podcast · host Ricardo Aguirre
Welcome to a fascinating glimpse into the world of data centers! 🚀 Discover how these pillars of the digital age are kept operational, secure, and efficient, focusing on:• Reliability and Availability: They are designed to operate without interruptions, using uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and generators, and are classified by levels (such as Tiers or BICSI and TIA-942 Classes) that ensure continuity in the face of failures.• Thermal Management: Controlling temperature and humidity is vital for the equipment's lifespan. ASHRAE guidelines and the use of economizers are key for efficient cooling.• Energy Efficiency: They consume a lot of electricity, so optimizing its use (measured with the PUE) and employing efficient power sources and virtualization are essential to reduce costs and environmental impact. 💡• Comprehensive Security: Data protection is crucial. This includes physical security (access control, fire protection according to NFPA) and cybersecurity, following standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST SP 800-53 to safeguard sensitive information. 🔒Get ready to understand how experts and international standards work together to ensure our data is always available and protected. ✨⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ Pleasesupport our sponsors:https://www.seresdc.com/https://www.noxtel.mx/
