IT teams grapple with some inescapable realities. The cost of operating the data center is outpacing the cost of IT resources themselves. High-density equipment pressures power and cooling systems to the max. Moves, adds and changes can turn the power infrastructure into a deck of cards, at risk of overloads, tripped circuits and unplanned shutdowns.

It doesn't have to be that way. There are practical and affordable ways to ease these concerns without making major changes in the power delivery system.

High-efficiency power quality systems, greater visibility into power conditions at all levels, flexible options to power all those dual- and triple-corded servers, modularity for flexible growth…new approaches and technologies such as these are redefining the economics of running the modern data center.
