WEBINAR - Power Efficiency Gains by Deploying 415 VAC Power Distribution
in North American Data Centers
Date: Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Time: 10:00 am Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8:00, San Francisco)
Greater cabinet densities, increased power costs and in some markets reduced power availability are all driving efficiency within the Data Center. Within enterprise data centers, power used for operating the facility, lighting, running IT loads and cooling is the largest operational expense. Greater efficiencies and the advantages that result such as lower TCO, postponing capital expenditures, and public recognition for showing environmental leadership are now at the top of the priority list. With power densities continuing to rise, more efficient solutions continue to be explored especially as power cost increases and power availability decreases.
The power path from the building entrance to the IT loads contains
several power converters and transformers for each conversion; which
contribute to inefficiencies and power losses. Reducing the number of
transformers and operating at a higher voltage improves efficiency and
reduces electrical costs. This paper discusses an alternative approach
to power distribution, presently being implemented in North American
data centers that increase efficiencies and savings by reducing upfront
capital costs, power consumption and floor space.
This webinar recaps some of the industry's findings in this area and
puts forth an analysis on how 415/240V line-to-neutral power
infrastructure that is based on a Global standard outside of North
America and Japan can achieve efficiency gains for a North American
datacenters utilizing existing solutions readily available in the
marketplace today.
