Power Solutions

Data center power requirements are constantly increasing and traditional power systems are no longer sufficient to meet this growing demand. The power distribution chain, from the frontend AC-DC stage to the backend DC-DC power distribution, needs to deliver the best performance in term of efficiency, power density and ability to interface with the digital world. It must ensure an optimized usage of energy thanks to different strategies, such as workload redistribution, dynamic resource allocation or virtualization.

A power distribution unit (PDU) is a designed to distribute electric power to equipment in a data center or networking center. Power is typically distributed to racks of computers or networking devices via multiple outputs on the PDU. The PDU performs a number of controls related to the distributed power such as AC power monitoring, power metering, environment sensing and monitoring, and is equipped with a LAN connection.

Power monitoring is a critical function to enable the highest efficiency in data and networking centers. By combining and analyzing environmental data and power metering data, installation managers can adapt data center cooling systems to ensure that all the machines are always running at the optimal temperature for highest efficiency. Ensuring servers are running at the correct temperature also increases their lifespan while lowering the power they consume and the heat that they generate.

Battery monitoring is essential to ensure continuity of operations in a data center or networking center. With a battery monitoring system, a failing battery can be quickly diagnosed and replaced before it drains the remaining good batteries in the string. This monitoring solution will prolong the life of the remaining batteries as well as help to make sure any power outage to a facility can be properly handled by the UPS system. Battery monitoring is typically implemented with a wireless Data Collection Module (DCM) connected to the batteries. The wireless DCM collects information from the batteries and sends it wirelessly to a battery monitoring unit which stores the data for further usage and analysis.

Having the right UPS in the telecom industry is absolutely crucial for operations. Over the last few years, there has been a surge in demand for wireless products, with a subsequent demand for backup power systems. The right UPS telecom system should be durable, flexible, reliable and cost-effective for operators. Power interruptions can be detrimental to both the business and its customers, resulting in lost revenue, loss of backup data and damage to the business’ reputation. In the event of a power disturbance, having the right UPS can provide your critical devices with enough time to backup data and ensure minimal damage to your network systems.
