Data Center Power: A Truly Mission Critical Resource

Data center power has become a highly visible topic of discussion across the industry. Power is being considered by many as a truly mission-critical resource rather than a common facility service. Today's data centers are becoming higher density and consuming levels of power like never seen before. Whereas a rack used to consume a few kilowatts, we are now seeing five to ten TIMES that amount of power per rack routinely. What that means is that the choices for power delivery must be made much more carefully than ever before, looking for vendors that have "done their homework."
