With escalating data streams, and increasing demands being placed on available processor power, the importance of the data centre has now reached critical status. Public and private networks, voice and data traffic, streamed video, ecommerce, enterprise applications, and online gaming – all depend on assured data centre uptime and capacity to survive. Data centres constitute highly specialised environments, where a range of engineering and technological disciplines – IT professionals, power engineers, cabling experts, chief security officers, heating and ventilation engineers – must work together under one roof; and these skills map closely onto the readership profile of Engineering & Technology, making the sector highly relevant to the magazine’s focus going forward.
