Retailers, suppliers, and resellers who accept payment cards from customers, must comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS.) This comprehensive guideline is designed to safeguard the personal payment data of customers when it’s stored, processed, and transmitted by the companies they do business with.

As an integral component of a data center or remote site power chain, the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) essentially provides clean power when AC power is present and provides backup power in the event of a power outage.

Typically, a UPS will help customers ride through a few minutes of outage, until a generator comes on or until equipment can be gracefully shutdown, which is when a computer is turned off by a software function and the operating system (OS) is allowed to perform its tasks of safely shutting down processes and closing connections, and is the opposite of a hard shutdown, when the computer is forcibly shut down by interruption of power

Almost every Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) equipment rack used to store compute, storage or network equipment requires a rack-mount Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or power strip to distribute power to equipment. But, if you are unfamiliar with electrical power distribution systems or even the differences in industry jargon, selecting a PDU— especially those that offer remote monitoring capabilities—can be challenging.

In the data center, a power and cabinet ecosystem is the integration of hardware (the cabinet and anything inside or connected to the cabinet) and any software that specifically supports or enhances the hardware’s functionality. When this combined infrastructure is provided by a single manufacturer, the ecosystem thrives, allowing you to make more informed decisions, more quickly on the path to achieving total data center optimization.

With so much upside, the following six steps will get you started on that path today and help ensure long-term ROI for the future.

As healthcare facilities increasingly turn to the latest life-saving technologies to ensure their number one objective—treating and protecting patients—it’s become increasingly important for those same facilities to ensure 24/7 network connectivity.

While a robust wireless infrastructure plays a critical role in ensuring life-saving technologies, it’s also now being called upon to meet the rising demand for data from medical staff, patients, and visitors, all the while ensuring the physical well-being of more vulnerable patients.

As the use of wireless devices in today’s hyperconnected world continues to skyrocket, the FCC’s recent move to release 1,200 MHz (1.2 GHz) of spectrum for unlicensed use in the 6 GHz band greatly extended the amount of available bandwidth for Wi-Fi and other unlicensed technologies.

For industries and consumers alike, this next step in wireless network evolution not only accelerates the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), but it also promises less interference and lower latency, which ultimately means higher performance and faster speeds.
