BASELAYER is excited to announce our participation in the 16th annual Data Center & Cloud Infrastructure Transformation Summit. DCD 2018 is happening in New York City on May 1 and 2, 2018, with the Edge Focus Day taking place April 30.BASELAYER will be joining 1,500 other professionals whose day job is keeping the digital world up and running. From “mud to cloud”, this event covers the full ecosystem for the redefinition of enterprise data centers, and spotlights the re-shaping of the economics of digital business, IT, and data center service delivery. The summit features over 100 hours of expert panels, keynote presentations, interactive workshops, and roundtables. The expo will showcase 100 of the latest technologies.

On May 1, BASELAYER’s Chief of Staff, Samir Shah, will present Edge Infrastructure: Breaching the Bandwidth Bottleneck in a breakout session. This session will look at the latency bottlenecks in existing systems and examine how applications in a 5G world will push compute/storage closer to wireless signal sources. We will also cover site deployments to address these latency shortcomings and discuss the need for an interdisciplinary approach to infrastructure in order to deliver the performance for this next highly anticipated stage of digital revolution.

Also on May 1, BASELAYER’s Bill Slessman and Christopher Perez will present Imagine It, Build It: A Lego-Inspired Approach to Data Center Design on stage in Hall 2. This session will take a peek at our “Lego” style design concepts, and examine Puget Sound Energy’s leveraging of our mix-and-match approach to solve their recent modular data center build. In addition, we will outline how the multiple power and cooling options can combine to deliver flexible, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure anywhere you need it. And ultimately, we will examine the ways that dynamic visualization enhances modular assets and allows operators new insights into their data center environment.

In addition to the summit, DCD’s Focus Day on April 30 will provide an interactive pre-conference concentrating on deploying data centers at the edge and assessing the new technologies and architectures to support this. BASELAYER’s Susanna Kass will participate in two panel discussions: The Practicalities of Sustainable Edge Computing in Dense Urban Environments and Data Centers at the Edge in 2025.

Since 2008, here at BASELAYER we have been creating innovative technology to transform the data center. We deliver hardware and software products which ensure the data center fulfills the needs of today’s applications and support innovation into the future. We would love to shake your hand at DCD, so come say hello between April 30 and May 2 at the New York Marriott Marquis on Broadway.

At BASELAYER, we simplify the data center and make it smart. Learn more about the summit here and more about our products here.

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Why Momentive says city data centers need sealant built for 1,000-foot towers

Planners are pushing urban data centers toward glass facades. Bull argues high-load structural silicone glazing—like the 30 psi UltraGlaze SSG4600 used on Austin’s 1,025-foot Waterline tower—can help support heavier security glass and tighter enclosure performance in new multi-story builds.

  • 01When a city insists a data center look like an office building, the sealant holding the glass ends up doing work for the cooling plant.
  • 02Rifle-rated UL 752 Level 7 glazing runs about 15 pounds per square foot, so the security rating and the sealant's 30 psi design strength belong in the same specification review.
  • 03The supertall-sealant case applies mainly to new urban builds; most operating U.S. data centers can't shut down for facade replacement and harden their glass through retrofit shields instead.

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Mid-scale volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even; panel lines use different equipment, but the report argues the same fixed-cost logic can make order-book visibility important before adding shifts or lines.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01After Rebond 300 runs through a standard ready-mix plant and hits C30/37 with no schedule change, buyers’ next questions shift to supply and allocation—how many tonnes Paebbl can ship—alongside price and how much of the mix to commit.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures imply a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl cites a verified -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product, with results depending on mix design.
