Lowering Energy Costs In Data Centers
Access to electrical power is mission critical in a data center. Energy-related expenses account for approximately 12% of overall data center costs and are the fastest rising data center expense according to Gartner Research. High inductive electrical loads make the cost of energy one of the most expensive and challenging to manage when considering the needs of a modern data center. Cooling, back-up power systems, load balancing, managing power quality, 24/7 power delivery and energy efficiency all enter into the complex decision-making process that data center energy and facilities managers must address. MPTS devices have the ability to reduce the total electrical energy consumption of a data center by as much as 20% to 30%. Not only can the MPTS technology reduce consumption and demand charges but also improve the power quality, work efficiently on unbalanced electrical loads and release installed capacity.
