VOIP a 'heated' concern for data center managers
Temperatures are rising in some wiring closets and computer rooms where VOIP and power-over-Ethernet (PoE) equipment is being installed.
Data Centre managers are concerned about the hike in Equipment density. A wide variety of power-hungry and heat-spouting devices is fighting it out over the same cramped space. Moreover, technicians also have to install redundancy systems that are standard IP-deployment issue.
