Core and edge data center downtime can cost businesses millions — with a major impact on critical applications. This webinar will explore the impacts of downtime in core data centers and at the network edge.
Dr. Larry Ponemon, chairman and founder of the Ponemon Institute, and Kyle Keeper, vice president of global AC power for Vertiv, will explore the attitudes surrounding downtime mitigation from edge to core and the actions most often taken to prevent future events. They also will recommend steps to harden data centers and edge computing facilities against future outages and provide insights on how the data center ecosystem is evolving by looking at the number of edge sites by industry, their capacity, and their most important use cases/applications.
