Seven Ways to Extend Power and Cooling in the Data Center

Is your data center running out of power or cooling? This Eaton white paper offer insights on how to extend the sytems you already have and helps you build an optimal plan.

To keep pace with business demands, data centers pack in more power-hungry, heat generating 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.
So, what is the best way to augment and extend existing capacity within the constraints of tight budgets and limited support staff? How can you establish a power and cooling infrastructure that is ready for growth but not over-provisioned for an uncertain future?
The solution. This white paper offers strategies that enable IT managers to:

With simple changes in infrastructure and practices, any data center can extend the value of available backup power and cooling systems—delaying the point where those systems would have to be upgraded to match data center expansion. Click here to get this white paper.
