By leveraging advancements in power management technology across backup power, cooling, digitalization, and other key areas, operators can help make their data centers ready to power the next generation of AI.
With the right system and components in place — and the ability to maintain it — data center managers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing their critical infrastructure is protected in the coming hurricane season and beyond.
Whether enterprise, colocation, or edge data centers, no other facility is host to the sheer amount of business-critical information that data centers hold, and, therefore, no other facility faces as significant a business consequence in the event of a power outage.
In many ways, your data center uninterruptible power system (UPS) isn’t all that different than your car; provided you take proper care of it, it should reliably carry you many miles.
In older data centers, primary mechanical and electrical architectures such as uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs) and electrical switchgear are often nearing the end of their recommended service life.
According to the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), “nearly 3 million U.S. data centers help power our economy, make our lives easier and render our buildings and electricity grid ‘smarter.’”
