The time has come to make the switch to Liquid Cooled Servers. With Liquid Cooled servers you should see a decrease in power consumption of the servers as well as your facility cooling power requirements. The move to a greener data center is happening and WWT can help facilitate your participation. Read on to learn all the things.

In the WWT Advanced Technology Center (ATC), we needed to do a code upgrade on a Dell PowerMax 2000 All-Flash Array. We decided to do some performance tests against the array during this code upgrade. Dell Support performed the upgrade while an ATC Lab Services storage architect checked the performance of the array during the upgrade process. We wanted to determine if any impact occurred to the array during a routine code upgrade. We had several customers who were interested in the outcome of this test for their own upgrade processes in their production environments.

We had a customer recently ask us to do some lab testing via a Proof of Concept (or POC) around the Silk solution. The customer was interested in some specific testing around Performance, Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (or RAS).
