The server space is changing, bringing new opportunities for the agile admin. If you plan on taking up residence in the new data center, you’d better get your toolkit ready. This month we explore tools and techniques for data center and server room environments.

Whether you get your cycles from an old-fashioned server room or a new-fangled virtual WalMart, you’ll find plenty to think about this month.
