Software that provides model-validated analytics of electrical power systems allows comparison of real-time conditions - like breaker and switch states and load distributions – to a computerized representation of as-designed system in an identical...
The ability to maintain or improve availability while implementing technologies and services that reduce costs and improve design, management and operating efficiency is the most important goal for data center managers in the next 10 years.
As the cloud continues to grow in popularity, it is becoming more and more important to evaluate how you can leverage the full benefits of the cloud, as well as the fundamental differences between available cloud options. These options, if...
This white paper from Schneider Electric offers a solution to the problem of ground relay tripping through the use of power monitoring systems. It demonstrates the methodology employed to correct this issue through a detailed real-world benchmark.
Environmental factors like heat, humidity, airflow, smoke and electricity can be just as devastating to server room equipment as any network threat. Increases in heat from 68 degrees F to 86 degrees F alone can reduce the long-term reliability of...
Critical applications require uninterruptible, high quality power. The most advanced of these systems are found in data centers where uninterruptible power supply and generator equipment maintain the continuity of power without one cycle of...
Geography is always at the top of the list of considerations by companies when choosing a colocation partner or data center location. Location can affect everything from the cost of electricity to the availability of a skilled workforce. What is...
The cost of under-utilizing the potential of a data center facility can be massive, increasing the price of each provided kW of processing power by up to 100%. Many of today’s data center management strategies risk encouraging short-term...
