The increasing adoption of AR in data centres When it comes to ensuring high uptime and consistency of service , getting the right people to the right place whenever an issue arises is critical – but it ’ s not always as easy as it sounds .
This was made particularly apparent during COVID-19 , when lockdowns and remote working made it apparent how much we depend on the required experts being able to travel quickly . Prior to the pandemic , this wasn ' t really a reliance that was particularly called into question .
Now , though , this situation – coupled with the post-pandemic shift to remote working – has pushed industries forward and helped IT teams question where remote technologies are best placed to ensure operations are faster and better .
To this end , AR can be extremely effective in keeping uptime high while resolving any issues that do slip through the net as quickly as possible .
“ Data centres have to be up and running all the time . However , getting the right people to the right place can sometimes take much more time than predicted ,” Turk explains .
“ But , if you have AR , you can always have an expert on the other side of the line ; they can tell you what to switch and where to do it .” datacentremagazine . com 47
