This pair of white papers from Schneider Electric takes a critical look at direct current in the data center and also examines the literature that purports to find great energy savings from use of the technology.
I do want to wish all Mission Critical readers a great Memorial Day weekend and also remind you to take a moment to honor the troops who made it possible.
I read an article in the marketing newsletter from WiredRE dated, April 20, 2012 titled, “It’s Criticality Dummy” basically citing that aspect of the data center as the most important driver for data center management and measurement.
Though data center operators talk in terms of reliability, Tier levels, energy efficiency, and cost, most often these conversations take a back seat to site selection.
