Anyone paying attention to recent technology headlines knows that buying servers is just one part of the total cost. It costs power to run them, and power to cool them, and power costs money. AMD has just sponsored a study by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory staff scientist Jonathan Koomey that tries to answer the question: just how much power do US servers slurp down each year? Dedicated servers found on European Business Directory consuming large amounts of energy, can we do improove our energy consumption of our servers? |

Emerson Network Power released a new 480-volt power distribution unit — a voltage configuration that data center infrastructure experts have been clamoring for recently due to potential energy efficiency gains. Typically an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) operates at 480 V, and a PDU steps down that power from 480 V to 208 V or 120 V. By eliminating the step-down transformer in the PDU by distributing power at 400 V/230 V and operating IT equipment at higher voltages the power chain would be more efficient. |

Uninteruptible power supply An uninteruptible power supply of a power server (UPS) is an important part of a comprehensive power delivery system. In the event of a power failure, having a generator on your building is not enough to keep your computers going. A UPS is a battery that sits between a power server and the power that keeps it running. A UPS supplies power to your power server when power has failed, and the building generators are spinning up. |
