The future of Information Technology

The future of IT/Data Centers is here. IDCA’s Infinity Paradigm® will be the road map that all aspects of the data center industry use. From application requirements to cloud computing, platform selection, information technology infrastructure, site facilities infrastructure, site selection, collocation and other services, capacity management, security, maintenance and operations, the Infinity Paradigm® Standards Framework enables a comprehensive and holistic view of the Application EcosystemTM that represents a visionary change in how the information technology and data center industry will do business going forward.
The Infinity Paradigm® Standards Framework for The Application Ecosystem™ gives the end user the tools that will enable them to get the most value for their CAPEX and OPEX budget dollars and the capability and agility to adapt to rapidly evolving business requirements.
As Program Manager of Data Center Operations for CHRISTUS Health, the AE360 framework will allow me to keep my current legacy infrastructure running optimally while incorporating the right new technologies, platforms, and operational practices in support of my organization’s demanding requirements. The detailed explanations of the Application Ecosystem™ stack layers and efficacies will give my senior leadership the information they need when budgeting and expanding our operations.
Now is the time to embrace the future and the merits of the Infinity Paradigm®.
I highly recommend downloading and reviewing the Standards Framework by visiting: https://www.idc-a.org/ae360

Reconnecting leaders with their employees

Image
By Dr. Brian J. Haw.  Dr. Haw is Associate Director of Technology at AT&T Mobility Services LLC We are all very aware of the speed in which IT moves and its impact on our lives, our application ecosystems, and specifically our data centers. To keep up, we make adjustments… choosing cheaper suppliers, shortening deadlines, and right sizing the workforce. The life’s blood of our industry is adapt or fail and necessary calculations are made to keep the machine running. In essence we are re-prioritizing what is important for the current environment. But, perhaps, it is time for us to pause and rest our intentions and align them with what our core values should be. The question then comes to pass, what of the workforce? Are the people that work for us agents geared toward meeting metrics or can they be something more? Do they still have a seat at the table for value creation? Our solution is to adapt by fielding a human-centric approach to leadership. We be...

COVID-19 is stress-testing applications and global data centers

By Mehdi Paryavi, DCA®, CLA®, DEA®.  Mr Paryavi is the Chairman of IDCA Putting to test the underutilized facilities, overutilized resources, and unmanned infrastructure… It has been a long time I haven’t had the chance to write a blog, now writing this in a time that the global pandemic, COVID-19, is testing humanity’s patience, as well as our applications and data center capabilities globally and more radically than we are used to… “Numerous applications out there may have never been tested to such degree of an unexpected surge in application peak time and prolonged use.” Numerous applications out there may have never been tested to such degree of an unexpected surge in application peak time and prolonged use. In parallel to this surge, a steep rise in cybersecurity threats and application vulnerabilities can naturally be expected. Are we prepared for what has already arrived at our door-steps? What are we doing to prepare for the post-corona-era?  “Glob...

A Standards Framework for the Applications Ecosystem – The Infinity Paradigm

Image
The Infinity Paradigm Standards Framework from the International Data Center Authority (IDC-A.org) is the latest and I believe most complete standards set for IT. Many of us have participated in efforts to create a method to measure the value, effectiveness and efficiency of our IT infrastructure but I believe this to be the most complete by far. Early efforts to improve infrastructure efficiency came from The Green Grid with PUE, followed by WUE, the Data Center Sustainability Metric and the Data Center Maturity Model. There have been other efforts to improve communication and resiliency like the Data Center Pulse “Data Center Stack” and most recently Infrastructure Masons released their data center rating system . The aforementioned efforts helped to put focus on and provide measures and metrics needed for improved management and ownership of critical and costly IT infrastructure. In the case of the Infinity Paradigm perhaps the most important factor is the notion of treating yo...
