Call for Papers
Submit a paper and enter to WIN an iPod nano.

The Delaware Valley Chapter of the 7x24 Exchange is asking our membership to submit papers on current emerging trends, issues and best practices in Data Center management, design, operations and maintenance. We will be issuing this call for papers on a semi-annual basis.

The theme for our initial papers is Risk Mitigation. Your paper can be from the facilities perspective or the Information Technology perspective. The Chapter specifically requests brief papers. The Chapter has received and posted White Papers in the past on our Standards Page, and will continue to post pertinent ones, but the Chapter now seeks brief, concise documents. Busy Data Center professionals are pressed for time, and a concise, cogent document that can be read quickly may be more beneficial than a lengthy White Paper.

We encourage all members to leverage your own staff and vendors for ideas and documents. A couple thoughts-the paper could be helpful links, a diagram of an idea that you have found helpful in your facility, or the name of a book that you have found helpful. As we respect your proprietary information, you can merely post an abstract for an idea, and we will allow you to choose who receives a copy of the article.

Please email your submissions,

Subsequent calls for papers are contemplated for Performance Improvement, and other timely topics. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any member of the Standards Committee :

As for the iPod nano...we will randomly select the winner from all those that have submitted a paper. For each legitimate paper submitted, you will receive one entry.
