What data center power design looks like from the utility side

Data centers and AI are pushing the boundaries of what energy infrastructure can support, while utilities are working hard to respond. Bridging that divide will require more transparency, engagement and shared planning.

Why more bandwidth isn’t always better in hotel network design

When it comes to bandwidth, bigger isn’t always better anymore. Instead, it’s time to align your hotel network design with what each part of the network really needs.

Cloud AI vs. edge AI: why manufacturers don’t have to choose

To handle everything AI is being asked to do, most manufacturers assume they need two computing environments: the edge for speed and responsiveness, and the cloud for scale and training. But the future of AI in manufacturing depends on a hybrid approach.

Your hotel network infrastructure is about business, not tech

Technical debt accumulates when quick fixes are the default for hotel network infrastructure. If hotel operators take care of today’s problem with a local workaround, then every future change will be harder and more expensive. Here’s how to stop the cycle.

Making data centers ready for AI workloads with rack‑level cooling

More AI workloads are moving back into enterprise and colocation environments. But many of these environments were built long before AI was in use; their power and cooling profiles can’t handle the density. Now what?

Predictive asset maintenance: What are your machines telling you?

Machines don’t usually fail without warning. These small changes are easy to miss but expensive to ignore. By proactively detecting likely failure before it occurs, predictive asset maintenance changes the game in advanced manufacturing.

How Wi‑Fi 7 uses existing wireless capacity more intelligently

In dense environments, adding more access points and bandwidth doesn’t address how efficiently the network handles shared capacity. That’s where Wi-Fi 7 comes in.

The case for adopting a star topology for power delivery

It’s time to adopt a network-inspired approach to power distribution by applying a star topology. Here’s why.

Answers to common questions about fiber optic systems

When it comes to building fast, reliable networks, knowing your way around fiber optic systems is essential to unlock high speed, maximize bandwidth and make sure your infrastructure is ready for the future.

Rethinking legacy power distribution: the case for fault-managed power

Legacy power distribution methods weren’t built to handle today’s energy demands, but fault-managed power offers a scalable, resilient and cost-effective solution.

How fault-managed power can solve hidden power problems in hospitality

Every inch of your hotel should work smarter, and fault-managed power can make that happen. It offers long-distance power delivery without bulky infrastructure.
