THE KNOW-HOW YOU NEED TO POWER THE MOST CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTS
E
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
As data centers address more expansive and unique challenges , so too must their power distribution equipment meet those performance needs .
Server cabinets and racks , even individual server units , need to be designed for maximum adaptability to the everchanging power consumption requirements of their unique and demanding environments .
Whether dedicated to supercomputing or artificial intelligence , data centers are by their very nature unique in form factor and physical architecture .
Sometimes they ’ ll fit into an existing building on campus , with a retrofit of new infrastructure to support the additional demands placed on the power and cooling systems of the facility . Other times they ’ re installed in an entirely new facility designed expressly for housing the machinery .
In both instances , administrators must find custom solutions for delivering power , cooling , networking , and so forth .
On the other hand , edge computing is designed to put applications and data closer to devices – and their users .

But it brings a different set of challenges than the massive data centers used in supercomputing and AI applications . Space is a significant one in many cases ; smaller enclosures mean even less space for the power distribution equipment .
Because edge computing takes place remotely , you need to validate remote connectivity and possibly remediate any issues .
Data Centers Require Power And Lots of It
It ’ s as simple as that .
The design of data centers has always required solving how to feed their power needs and distributing the electrical power once it ’ s in the facility . u
