Understanding Preventive Maintenance for Data Centers

In the broadening data center cost-saving and energy efficiency discussion, data center physical infrastructure preventive maintenance doesn’t get enough attention as an important driver of TCO and downtime prevention. Preventative maintenance methods for equipment adjustment and mid-lifecycle parts replacement should be re-examined and aligned with strategies supporting cost control and system availability. Developments in Preventative maintenance-related hardware design, software monitoring, and servicing methods can help IT and facilities managers safeguard uptime, increase efficiency, and reduce cost.
