Pacnet to Convert Cable Landing Facilities Into World Class Data Centers across Asia
In a strategic move to meet growing market demands for data center co-location, managed hosting and value-added services in Asia Pacific, Pacnet today announced plans to convert its Cable Landing facilities across key markets in the region into Data Landing Stations (DLSNew) and ‘fibered’ state-of-the-art data centers.
“Over the past few years, we have seen exponential growth in the demand for data center hosting services and customized applications,” said Bill Barney, Chief Executive Officer, Pacnet. “Yet, the cost of power, real estate, maintenance and connectivity makes it challenging for existing players to upgrade and new players to enter into the data center space. Pacnet’s cable landing facilities across Asia are equipped with massive power, space and capacity, therefore, it is a natural step for us to move forward in building DLS facilities to support immediate demands in the marketplace.”
Creating a Greener Data Center
Many data centers cost more to build and power than the IT services they support, so in a prss release Microsoft explains how it is working towards data centers more efficient:
It wasn’t long ago that corporations gave little thought to the energy consumed by data centers – those warehouses of humming computer servers that today drive retail commerce, manage payrolls, forward e-mails and much more.
BuilTech: Greening the Green
Just as money makes the world go round, datacentres are the tools that make the financial industry work. Nick Lesek looks at how the environmental efficiency of these IT energy guzzlers can be improved.
Datacentre Security Measures – Myths or Reality?
Are datacentres and mission critical facilities being under or over-secured? Sanjeev Verma, Manager Workplace, Asia Pac ex- Japan, Cisco Systems separates fact from fiction.
The terror attacks around the world in recent years have kept the infrastructure industry on tenterhooks. Having dealt with threats like theft and unauthorised entry, safety consultants suddenly needed to refer to texts on explosion proofing, riot proofing, quake proofing and volcano proofing to ensure their facilities safety. Well, perhaps not volcano proofing, but when innocent social objects like civil airplanes, gel bottles and letter openers find themselves on lists of weapons of destruction, re-examining our business safety becomes entirely necessary.
