White Papers
Cold Aisle Containment System Performance Simulation
With a goal of reducing inlet temperatures, BayCare Health System, a major, non-profit, healthcare network in the Tampa, Florida area, installed a cold aisle containment system (CACS) in one section of its data center.
White Papers
Rack Hygiene
This paper describes the concept of Rack Hygiene, which positions the rack as an airflow management device, not an inert commodity. It offers solutions at the rack level, by defining a benchmarking methodology for quantifying airflow leakage as a means of setting performance goals for racks.
White Papers
Precision Cooling Industry Fails the CIO
The evolving densities of IT loads in the data center have quickly outpaced the capacity of current cooling systems and strained the limits of chaos cooling methods. Aggravating the problem, supplemental cooling programs have increased data center energy costs and carbon footprints. To keep pace with increasing data center loads, the best response is to create a flexible, cost effective and green directed airflow solution, one that can grow with data center needs and that returns flexibility/control to the data center manager.
White Papers
Is an energy-wasting data center draining your bottom line?
This white paper looks at two key ways that data center managers can improve end-to-end energy efficiency: by changing the voltage of power distribution and by taking advantage of new, high-efficiency, multi-mode uninterruptible power systems (UPSs).
White Papers
Is power protection costing you more than it should?
Multi-mode UPSs from different manufacturers vary considerably in how they work, the level of protection they can offer, and their true efficiency under real-world load levels. This white paper looks at five questions you need to ask before selecting a high-efficiency, multi-mode UPS for your data center.
White Papers
No Harmony in Harmonics
Harmonic currents can have a significant impact on electrical distribution systems and the facilities they feed. It is important to consider their impact when planning additions or changes to a system. In addition, identifying the size and location of non-linear loads should be an important part of any maintenance, troubleshooting and repair program.
White Papers
Power Considerations for VoIP
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) streamlines business network infrastructures, because one network does the work of two. The Ethernet LAN supports both voice and data. Another advantage is that VoIP phones can be powered right over the Ethernet communication line. There is no need for a separate wall outlet and wiring to power users’ phones.
White Papers
10 Ways to Increase Power System Availability in Data Centers
Once, IT was just another important business resource. Today, IT is the business for many companies. Without it, most organizations would be incapable of serving customers, collaborating with partners, developing new products or performing other basic business functions.
White Papers
Build for today. Expand on demand.
Building the data center to meet the needs of an uncertain future is an expensive and needless exercise in over-engineering. New designs need to be modular, with built-in expansion capabilities.
White Papers
Considering the effects of UPS operation with leading power factor loads
Over the past five years, a new generation of data processing and communications equipment has become prevalent in modern data centers and network operations centers. These newer products provide beneficial increases in processing power and higher-density form factors, resulting in reduced operating costs, conservation of valuable facility space and enhanced capabilities for the enterprise.
White Papers
Re-envisioning the Data Center
As IT has become increasingly central to success in business, a well-run data center has become increasingly central to success in IT. These days, a data center that offers dependable access to applications and information is an essential precondition to profitability, while a data center that adapts swiftly to change can provide a crucial competitive edge.
White Papers
Emerging UPS Standby Power Sources
Though an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) performs many important functions, most users value them chiefly for the emergency energy they provide during a power outage. UPSs give IT personnel the time they need to protect sensitive equipment and data from the effects of an electrical service interruption by shutting down systems in an orderly fashion or starting a backup generator.
White Papers
Increased power protection with parallel UPS configurations
Organizations such as large data centers, banks and hospitals depend on reliable electricity to safeguard their critical data. A parallel UPS system continues to maintain power to the critical loads during commercial electrical power brownout, blackout, overvoltage, undervoltage, and out of tolerance frequency conditions.
White Papers
Is your data center running out of power or cooling?
The challenge. To keep pace with business demands, data centers pack in more power-hungry, heatgenerating IT systems than ever. Many power and cooling systems are reaching their limits. Older power protection, power distribution and HVAC systems could be bottlenecks to needed expansion. Since these support systems represent 40 percent of the cost of IT equipment, a wholesale upgrade is generally not an option.
White Papers
Power factor as it relates to UPS products
This white paper is designed to provide clarification about issues related to UPS power factor (pf).
White Papers
Powering Through the Economy
Five strategies for protecting the environment and boosting your bottom line.
White Papers
Power Monitoring 101
Supervisory, connectivity and protection options that add an umbrella of protection over your entire IT infrastructure.
White Papers
Right-Sizing Your Power Infrastructure
How to optimize energy efficiency without impeding growth.
White Papers
Straight talk about electrolytic capacitors in your UPS
What they are, what they do, why they’re essential in your UPS— and the importance of proactive maintenance for these humble and often overlooked components.
White Papers
The Benefits of a Preventive Maintenance Service Plan for your UPS
Eaton Corporation, a global leader in power quality, distribution and control, recommends the inclusion of a service plan in order to maximize the performance and reliability of an uninterruptible power system (UPS). This white paper examines the four primary options available for maintenance and service of UPS products, as well as outlines the differences and specific advantages among these alternatives.
White Papers
