BUILDING INFRASTRUCTUREListen
Listen to What Your Building Infrastructure Tells You
By Dale Klein 
As a history buff, I was thrilled to tour France this summer on vacation. As we toured the chateaus, monuments and buildings that have stood as witnesses to thousands of years of history, I couldn't help but wonder what these buildings could tell me if they could talk.

The same questions apply when I walk into buildings today. For today's buildings, the question has to do more with what can the building's infrastructure share about its safety and security, energy sustainability and occupancy usage.
HOW TO CHOOSE A COLOCATIONColo
How to Choose a Colocation Data Center Provider
Whether driven by finances, disaster recovery planning or simply wanting to focus resources on core competencies, more and more companies are making the decision to move a portion or all of their data center operations to a third-party data center colocation provider. Depending on a company's business drivers, colo providers are often an attractive alternative to maintaining an in-house data center (and all that goes with it).
