Consolidation, blade centers, high-performance servers and the drive for Tier III and Tier IV redundancy are all trends that see modern data centres require more power than their predecessors.
Distributing power in these new data centers is a very complex task that has seen proposals emerge such as higher-voltage AC and DC distribution systems. owever, the equipment to support these architectures can be very expensive and is often incompatible with existing equipment.
This white paper looks at how, as power density in modern data centers increases, more focus has been placed on improving efficiency in the power distribution infrastructure.
This white paper shows how the latest advancements in power distribution products can reduce energy, cabling and cooling costs for your data center. The paper looks at how the following technologies can assist the improvement of data centre operations to reach these goals:
- Uninterruptible power systems (UPSs);
- Power distribution racks (PDRs);
- Enclosure-based power distribution units (ePDUs).
