What is data ?At the heart of every computer there is a very simple fact, they only understand two states, on and off, represented by ‘1’ and ‘0’, and this is the data that we are talking about 1’s and 0’s
This switching between states is carried out by the electronic components within the device, primarily the processor, and the switches are called transistors.
It is the advances in the number of switches or transistors a processor can manage which has led to the huge growth in the computer industry.
From 2,300 transistors on Intel’s first processor to over 7,000,000,000 on some processors today.
Who creates data
How much Data is created1Megabyte of Data for every 20 km travelled
1,000,000 x 10101010
1Byte = 8 bits of data or 8 x ‘1’ or ‘0’
A 747 on a transatlantic flight will create 10TB of Data
10,000,000,000 x 10101010
There are 1000 747s flying everyday
How is it created, transmitted & stored

Where is this all done?Data CentresCan require power in excessof 200MW, that’s enough torun a city of 500,000 people
These facilities are often more than100,000 sq m in size
Availability Energy Efficiency Reliability Resilience To keep these facilities operating at their
best, we need to gather data about them. Measuring and monitoring everything that
happens in a data centre is the key to providing the services we use.
What is important?
In todays world, just about everything we do generates data.
That data is stored in Data Centres
We totally rely on this information, so the facilities must be properly maintained and managed
Measuring and monitoring systems to gather facility data is at the heart of every Data Centre
Conclusion
