As hospitals and other health care facilities become more reliant on technology-based, point-of-care offerings, the IT infrastructure supporting those technologies is increasingly as critical as the care itself.

While Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS) and wireless networks place more information than ever at a clinician’s fingertips, they can also place unprecedented strain on the network closets and data centers supporting their deployment.

Join Dan Draper, ASHE, NFPA, health care industry marketing manager at Emerson Network Power/Liebert Products, to learn proven best practices for power protection, precision cooling and monitoring and management in small data centers and network closets to keep health care IT networks running.

Learn about:

  • The importance of IT network closets to health care organizations and their missions;
  • How power and cooling problems can shut down IT network closets;
  • Best practices regarding IT closet power and cooling;
  • Best practices regarding IT closet physical security, monitoring and value-added resellers (VARs).
