UPS systems featuring Silicon Carbide transistors could save energy and negate risks associated with eco-mode

When is a kW not a kW? The answer is ‘when the UPS is kW=kVA rated’

A few releases from the data center industry could be spreading confusion 

Eco-mode saves power but increases the risks associated with a UPS. Silicon carbide could give the best of both worlds 

Computational fluid dynamics can model airflow in servers, but a whole data center space is more complex 

Who says that data centres have to be renewably powered?

I’m sceptical by nature but this latest ‘power warning’ is either deliberate scaremongering or misguided rubbish

Genset OEMs play fast and loose with generator ratings, and you could end up the worse for it

Medieval alchemists never managed the transformations that today’s technologists have achieved

The UK government tried to offer tax incentives for buying efficient UPS systems. The effort was doomed from the start

ASHRAE has said data centers don’t need humidification. Fancy a wager on when its recommendations will be adopted?

Google is sharing its 48VDC power distribution with the Open Compute Project. This will be of limited use in European data centers 

A data center powered exclusively by the sun is not ufeasible, but it is highly impractical
