Technology is ever-changing, and that’s especially true when it comes to data centers with the increasing demands from cloud computing and big data. FORTRUST’s Denver data center has seen a recent upswing in the demand for data modules and to keep up with demand, added an additional 1.6 MW of data module capacity on November 13th. FORTRUST’s Data Modules are a next-generation, software-defined modular data center infrastructure that has revolutionized the data center industry with the ability to support significantly higher power density IT loads while at the same time increasing operational efficiencies.
IO.Anywhere is delivered on-demand and allows you continuous visibility into your IT environment through the closely integrated IO.OS. Your own private Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) system specific to your module allows nimble access to your data when you need it. The sophistication of this operating system yields simplified controls of your data in real-time and with the ease that frees up your time for other critical business needs.
FORTRUST utilizes the fully integrated IO.Anywhere Data Modules that deliver more flexibility, reliability, and energy efficiency, providing a sustainable and secure environment for legacy and cloud applications. FORTRUST’s modules are custom engineered to accommodate high power densities and provide an increased level of security within the IT environment. Equipped with the IO.OS data center operating system, customers are given increased visibility and insight into their environment through real-time data.
“Virtualization and dynamic IT loads in the data center are becoming more prevalent and the need for data center infrastructure that adapts seamlessly to the IT loads is paramount,” stated Rob McClary, Senior Vice President and General Manager of FORTRUST. “Data modules allow us to meet these customer requirements now and in the future.”
IO.Anywhere employs compartmentalized architecture to ensure both physical and logical access control to your critical IT assets. The IT and Support infrastructures are separated by a steel frame and hardened shell, while access controls can be specified by you, providing multiple layers of protection at your discretion
