This legislative innovation has prompted the development of new IT solutions that will allow […]

Building a server for graphic and CAD/CAM applications for remote work via RDP based on used CISCO UCS-C220 M3 v2

From a 'startup' to thousands of servers across a dozen data centers. How we pursued growth in our Linux infrastructure.

Posted on

If your IT infrastructure is growing too quickly, you will sooner or later face the choice of either incrementally increasing human resources to support it or starting automation. For a while, we lived in the former paradigm, and then the long journey towards Infrastructure-as-Code began. Of course, NSPK is not a startup, but such an atmosphere prevailed in the company during its early years, […]

Data Center Air Corridor Isolation Systems. Part 2. Cold and Hot Corridors. Which one do we isolate?

In the first case, we isolate the cold corridor, and in the second – the hot corridor. Each option has its own characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages. Cold Corridor Isolation Principle of Operation: a perforated […] is used to supply cold air flow into the corridor.
