Data centers

The need for uptime in data centers is crucial as access to data becomes the basis of business continuity around the globe. Yet, data center outages are unfortunately not uncommon and all too often they cause significant financial and reputational damage to the operator. In this whitepaper we explore nine different physical security use cases and explain how the right solutions can help you to minimize downtime.

Because of their characteristics – a combination of high energy materials with highly flammable electrolytes – an early and reliable fire detection is a must when designing fire protection systems for Li-ion battery systems. Rapid extinguishing is also essential and can be ensured by the use of automated extinguishing systems using an appropriate agent. This paper discusses the development of a managed-risk fire protection concept for stationary Li-ion battery energy storage systems.

This paper explores AI and its impact on data centers, using White Space Cooling Optimization as an example of how AI can be implemented today. Furthermore it reviews how a global financial firm is using White Space Cooling Optimization as part of its thermal optimization plan.

Data centers are critical components of modern enterprises and should be used to drive business, not hinder it. In these environments, it is not only essential to have continuous monitoring in place, but also to effectively manage capacity and discover hidden potential.

The growth of a data center or data center network is too often constrained by its own design, management practices, production objectives, and resource priorities. When we treat the data center more as an organic entity rather than a human endeavor, we constrain its evolution, to the detriment of both its operators and its customers. In this report, we call your attention to five such constraints that may be commonly found in data center growth plans.

For data center operators, maximum uptime and reliable equipment performance is of utmost importance. In this webinar you will learn why power quality matters. Our experts will explain energy characteristics and phenomena which have a high potential to endanger the stability and reliability of a data center and walk you through the weak points in sensitive infrastructure locations starting at the public energy distribution transformer all the way down to the power supplies of the individual data servers. You’ll get an overview of our power quality recorders portfolio, the cyber security requirements, and the flexible integration on using standardized communication protocols like IEC 61850. Register today to learn how an automated power quality monitoring and analysis of the complete sensitive equipment increases stability, detects critical situations, and ensures long term business success for your data center.

When it comes to data centers, our own value added consulting on power distribution has been incorporated in the design together with the prefabricated approaches. The aspects of reliability, availability, maintainability and scalability have always been important to us. We have not only taken into account the reduction of construction time for our data center customers, but we’ve also created an optimized solution based the total cost of ownership by offering modularized skids, kiosks substations and e-houses. Watch this webinar to learn how prefabricated power supplies optimize project duration and costs.

Automating cooling processes and implementing technologies like artificial intelligence can help you to take your data center operations to the next level. Watch our webinar to learn how to improve thermal reliability, optimize equipment maintenance and reduce operational costs.
