New PDUs from Legrand add remote wireless monitoring to mainstream PDUs, while Legrand’s Linkeo rear door heat exchangers are the next step in sustainable data center cooling

Data center operators are facing a triple whammy: utility supply limits, decarbonization, and increased AI demands. How can they overcome all three challenges at the same time?

The latest CPUs and GPUs will consume more power than ever to support artificial intelligence (AI) and other advanced applications. How is this compatible with data centers’ energy efficiency imperatives?

PEM fuel cells were pioneered in the 1960s by NASA. Now, suggests Nedstack’s Jakob Bruinsma, they’re on the cusp of the big-time

New demands from high-performance compute are placing even bigger demands on rack PDUs. How are companies like Legrand helping data center operators to keep up?

The data center sector is one of the most demanding in the world. Cummins’ Rich Scroggins tells DCD how data center operators are leading the way towards sustainability and decarbonization

The rise of renewable power makes balancing the power grid more challenging. But data centers can help by providing grid balancing and other services, argues Eaton’s Forrest D. Secosky

Decarbonization and Net Zero are journeys, not projects. AVK’s Ben Pritchard maps out the way, calling at HVO, on-site generation and microgrids

Increased compute density is all very well, but can ordinary server cabinets optimize the airflow management to support it, asks Legrand’s Saman Berookhim

Norway’s hydro-power can provide renewable energy to data centers across Europe. Or, better still, data centers can come to Norway to take advantage of competitively priced renewable electricity all-year round

Gas engines can be used for more than just reliable backup, they can provide primary power while also facilitate a transition to carbon neutral operation argues industry veteran Jan Buijk

While data center operators want their fleets to be as uniform as possible, customer demands and regulatory requirements mean that, ultimately, many hyperscale data center elements need to be made-to-measure

See how Hitec upgraded the DRUPS systems at a San Francisco city data center while transforming client business methodologies in the process. Generating big savings for years to come

Kitting out data center cabinets, racks and PDUs can take months, but Panduit claims its new modular approach can slash the time it takes to a matter of days

While lead-acid is the established UPS battery technology and Li-ion is more energy dense, nickel-zinc is a better all-round technology, says ZincFive’s Aaron Schott

Gas is quieter and cleaner than diesel, but gas backup generators can be made even quieter and cleaner with silencers, catalytic converters and other technology, says Aprovis´s Manuel Scherb

ABB’s refreshed data center configuration app makes server room specs add-up automatically

As data center operators seek cleaner, more sustainable options, natural gas backup microgrids could improve emissions and cut costs, through revenue-generating market participation programs

New Galaxy V series offers up to 99 percent efficiency, claims Schneider, and could pay for itself within two-and-a-half years

Electricity companies need help stabilizing the grid, and data center operators could help – and make money – by offering the services of their UPS systems

EPRA’s Dan Smith and Foster Fuel’s Will Rohrig describe to DCD exactly what happened, and why

Anord Mardix’s first low-voltage switchboard in the US offered a dual UL/IEC listing. Its latest, though, is aimed squarely at the UL 891 market

Spending $1.6m on electricity every year? Better cooling can cut it to $1m, Craig tells DCD

Vertiv’s Andrea Ferro tells DCD how the ‘standard’ UPS will take the starring role in the data center as an energy hub and help utilities better balance the grid

Organizations have always run IT at ‘the edge’, such as their branch offices or retail outlets. But 5G will make the edge data center potentially revolutionary, says SoftIron’s Craig Chadwell

Identifying inefficiencies in a data center that has to be running 24/7 can be challenging, but using 3D models with built-in physics engines can help, says Future Facilities’ Sherman Ikemoto

With data construction costs rising every year, companies need to be disciplined if they want to keep their construction costs down, according to Sacco

The Texas power outages had data center operators rushing to re-assess their business continuity plans. But what really happened, and what are the real lessons that can be learned?
