Meeting availability targets while controlling infrastructure cost and complexity is becoming an increasingly important design challenge for large-scale data centers. The architecture behind the electrical system can have a significant impact on equipment utilization, scalability, maintenance and overall investment.

In Socomec's whitepaper, Rethinking power architecture in large-scale data centers, delve into how different redundancy models can deliver high availability while taking different approaches to infrastructure efficiency.

The paper explores distributed and block-redundant architectures, including the Catcher approach, and considers their impact across a 60MW data center use case.

Download the whitepaper to discover how to:

• Compare 2N, 4N/3 and block-redundant power architectures
• Understand how Catcher architecture uses shared reserve capacity to improve infrastructure utilization
• Evaluate the role of Static Transfer Switches in block-redundant architectures
• Assess the potential impact on CAPEX, operational complexity, infrastructure footprint and scalability
