The dependability of a data center or facility is heavily reliant on the distribution of power. If your power distribution system isn’t designed properly and a section of your data center or facility experiences a failure, it could result in a disruption or complete halt to production or services. This can lead to costs that can range from thousands to upwards of millions of dollars lost per hour. A properly designed power distribution system will minimize the risk of unplanned downtime and help maintain uninterrupted operations.
The data center presents its own unique set of challenges due to the ever-changing nature of this environment. It is common for the power requirements within the data center to increase as the demands for servers, cooling, storage systems, networking equipment, backup systems, security systems, and lighting, which are crucial for data storage, management, and distribution, continue to grow. Typically, a standard 42U IT enclosure that houses IT equipment contains around 4-6kW of equipment. However, it is not uncommon to encounter power densities of 10-14kW per rack, especially with the rise of AI and other advanced technologies that push rack density to exceed 20kW per rack. These dynamic and higher rack densities can create challenges at several levels for the facility manager.
Modern power distribution systems increasingly must have the ability to scale as customer demands grow. Moreover, the critical loads demand redundancy and multiple power paths to customer equipment racks, ensuring the required level of availability and serviceability for the physical infrastructure.
