The Benefits of Running Your Data Center Operation with Reduced Cooling

To keep up with the unprecedented demand for cloud services, data center operators are looking to increase server rack density, using any space available to add to their capacity. This will require the accompanying cooling normally needing to be ramped up as well.

Using Data Center Resources to Support Grid Stability and Peak Shaving Activities

Data center operators are now starting to consider is peak shaving. Here, electricity can be brought from a utility company at off-peak times (when the cost is low), then stored for subsequent usage during periods when it would have been more expensive to draw from the grid.

Configuration Cloning

Wishing there was some way you could configure just one UPS and copy that configuration to all your other systems. That would make operation and the interfaces consistent, and the configuration process so easy, if only this dream was reality… You wake up with a start and remember you’ve heard something about a UPS that has this feature, what was it called, what was it called… Oh yeah! The Alpha® FXM HP UPS, that’s it!

Runtime & Right Sizing a UPS

A common question I get asked is, "How much runtime will I have with a backup power system?" It’s a good question to consider as you design your system for your typical and extended power outages. The answer of course varies but is greatly affected by two main variables: size of the load and capacity of the battery bank.

Achieving greater energy autonomy at data center site

A vitally important parameter for data center operations is their Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), which quantifies how much of a data center’s total electricity consumption is utilized by its data storage and processing activities. Many high-profile players in the data center sector have set ambitious roadmaps to keep improving their PUE figures in the years ahead.
