The economy, how the government might act, how the populace might act as our world rapidly changes.
What behaviours do you see? Do you see fear, hubris or something in between

Data center infrastructure management (DCIM) started as an element of building information modeling (BIM) software, which is used by facilities managers to create digital schematic diagrams.
