So in the last two videos we covered building your own vs. leasing colo space, different tier levels, redundancy factors, frequently used terms, facility considerations, company financials, MEP, PUE and power systems. So if you haven’t seen the first two videos, you can check them out here.
Let’s talk about cooling. This is one of the most important and challenging features of a facility. Cooling capabilities are usually what limits the amount of power consumption and density of your facility. Cooling is dependent on the amount of energy you put into the room, the volume of the room and the amount of airflow.
COVID-19 Update
First we would like to thank all the sponsors of eMERGE 2020 Chicago, you are true partners in bringing this show to life and we appreciate your involvement. Many of you have inquired about our plan for the COVID-19 virus outbreak. Additionally, many of our sponsors have informed us of travel restrictions that have been put in place by their companies. This outbreak has had a significant impact on tradeshows around the world. Many shows have gone virtual or been cancelled.
Welcome back, I’m sure you have talk about eMERGE 2020 Chicago conference here. So what the heck is it you may be asking. This is a technology culture conference. Chicago has so many great components to make it a great technology hub, but it has failed to really take off as a technology center. I think part of that is because of the cultural aspect.
Back during the dotcom boom, Chicago had a great technology culture, but after the crash, that kind of disappeared. In the valley, the roots of technology had taken hold, but here, they weren’t as deep and they got washed away in the crash.
Are you picking a data center? Unsure of what you should be looking for? Can’t figure out what makes one data center provider better than another? Well, you came to the right place.
In the last video I talked about building your own vs. leasing colo space (spoiler don’t build your own), and we talked about what the different tier levels mean and we talked about redundancy factors as well as some frequently used terms. So, if you didn’t see part 1 of this series, check it out here, I’ll wait.
As many of you may know, in my past life I was a CTO of a company that built high security mission critical data center facilities as well as owing and operating data center facilities.
I often talk with clients who are struggling with choosing data center space, so I wanted to give you a few tips when you are on the market looking. I have seen companies make a lot of mistakes over the years.

I got a F#@!ing Speeding ticket!
40MPH in a 25MPH zone. I did it, I was speeding. I was in a hurry and I was trying to get around some cars that were getting backed up behind someone who was turning, and I got caught.
I am not here to complain about the police, he got me, fair and square. $210 ticket with the 4 hour safe driving course. What I did want to talk about is unintended consequences.
I received a ticket for 15 MHP one the speed limit, but for the most part everyone drives between 30 and 35 on this 4 lane stretch of road. Were the limit on this stretch of road to be what most people travel at, I would have only been going about 5 over.
Hello everyone, Welcome back to the first video or 2020. I put a new slightly shorter intro together, I would love to hear your thoughts. Let me know if you love it or hate it, or worse, are indifferent.
This first video is not going to be about tech. One of the other areas of focus for FUTRtech is to give something back, and that is what I am going to talk about today.
It is St Baldrick’s time again!
I will be shaving my head on January 26 to raise money for childhood cancer research, and who doesn’t want to help end childhood cancer.
As we approach the new year, I reflect on the past year. It has been incredibly busy, but satisfying. This FUTRtech website and YouTube channel have really matured, and I hope to make more videos in the new year, with more diverse content, more interviews, more cool companies and more great tech. There are also some very exciting things in the works for next year, all I will say at this point is keep April 30th open. More announcements to come in 2020.
As I mentioned in Part 1, attendance was high. Now in its 8th year, Re:Invent had the capacity for 65,000 with over 3,000 sessions.
This year, “Transformation” was the main theme. The main take away was that you should be moving more aggressively to the cloud. Andy Jassy in his keynote kept coming back to this theme, and much of it was aimed at senior leadership. He laid out some key points to accelerating the journey.
