Healthcare is in the midst of a digital revolution. Once largely paper-based, the industry now relies heavily on interconnected digital systems for virtually every aspect
The financial services industry stands at a critical juncture, simultaneously driven by the relentless pace of digital transformation and constrained by an increasingly complex web
Introduction Data center colocation has become a critical component for organizations as they increasingly rely on digital infrastructure. This results in a surge of demand
As we step into 2025, the data center industry continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements, sustainability goals, and the ever-increasing demand for data processing and storage. Key trends shaping data center management this year include AI and machine learning integration, sustainability and energy efficiency, edge computing expansion, enhanced security measures, hybrid and multi-cloud strategies, and digital twin technology. These innovations are set to transform the way data centers operate, ensuring efficiency, performance, and sustainability.
In the dynamic world of IT, colocation providers face numerous challenges that can hinder their ability to deliver consistent, efficient, and sustainable services. Nlyte Software’s Colocation Solution addresses these challenges head-on, ensuring providers maintain high standards across all their sites. By offering a centralized management platform, real-time monitoring, and detailed reporting, Nlyte helps providers standardize processes, manage infrastructure complexity, and promote environmental sustainability. Take control of your colocation challenges with Nlyte’s comprehensive solutions and transform your data center management today!
Explore how Nlyte Software’s DCIM solutions enable data centers to meet the demands of AI workloads. From optimized floor planning and asset management to power chain redundancy and thermal management, Nlyte provides the tools needed for efficient and scalable AI infrastructure.
In the ever-evolving world of data center security, attention has primarily been focused on network security devices—the metaphorical front doors—keeping them locked tight against cyberattacks. However, hackers are now shifting their focus to the less-guarded back doors: the smart power strips powering data center racks. These often-overlooked devices, with their outdated firmware and default passwords, provide an easy entry point for attackers into otherwise secure environments.
In this article, we delve into the critical role that smart power strip firmware plays in data center security. We explore the rising threat landscape and outline best practices for keeping these devices up to date to prevent unauthorized access. Finally, we highlight how Nlyte Software’s Device Management Solution can transform the way data centers manage firmware across a heterogeneous array of devices, enhancing operational efficiency and security. Protecting your data center isn’t just about securing the front door anymore—it’s about making sure every door is locked tight.
The moment a new piece of equipment arrives at a data center’s loading dock, its journey begins—a journey that will take it through installation, operation,
