Some key problems of data center APC

One of the most fundamental aspects of data center APC management is reliability, and it is essential to ensure that the continuous normal operation of the equipment is critical to the business continuity. However, the demand for the data center is always changing, because it has been expanding and adding new devices. At the same time, the progress of distribution equipment makes it attractive for data center managers. This upgrade can improve management efficiency and reliability, and support data center expansion. But how does the data center manager know exactly which equipment needs the right time to upgrade and upgrade? When your data center needs new distribution equipment, the following key questions can help you evaluate it.

Question 1: do your current investment meet your needs?
The first question is to consider whether to upgrade the distribution equipment, and the simplest one: can the current equipment meet the current requirements of your data center?
Update replace distribution equipment aging and more effective solution needs to invest time and resources (not to mention the capital), so it is important to thoroughly evaluate your present products in the whole system of weights, and then decide how to deal with the current challenges. If you look back at the current investment, you find that you are still able to fully meet your needs with the product, and now it's not worth upgrading.
However, at the time of evaluation, you may find more efficient power distribution or valuable space available for more profitable equipment. In this case, it may be worth investing in new technologies to better meet your needs and meet the needs of the future. For example, cables and pipelines have long been the industry standard in the whole data center industry. However, in recent years, busbar has become an attractive alternative to cable and wire tube solutions, providing several different advantages, including the following:
Easy to install
Reducing the cost of implementation
Save space
Stronger adaptability
Busbar slot distribution system is a particularly attractive solution to deal with the terminal distribution system that may be reconfigured frequently or grow as time goes on.
Question 2: how fast is the growth rate of the data center?
Many data centers support this rapid expansion, similar to the emergence of super fusion and key IT resources to the emergence of virtual infrastructure. In this case, the new distribution equipment is not only worth considering. To maintain an efficient running data center to ensure business continuity.
Moreover, this method also enables data center managers to strategically consider future scenarios and installation technologies, so that they can take the initiative in the future strategic and reliability.
For example, with the expansion of data center, it may be worth considering whether upgrading power distribution cabinet or even low voltage switchgear, whether distributed power supply and power supply and distribution management system can meet the growth of data center business.
Question 3: how to deal with blackout
Power outages are inevitable, depending on the location of the facilities in the data center, possibly due to weather or other factors. We have determined that the power off time may be disastrous for any data center.
If the data center is to add a new device, it will be sure that it can switch the emergency power load, and generally go back to a specific device: the ATS switch. The ATS transfer switch is responsible for fast and safe switching of all electrical circuits, devices, or normal and emergency power systems, such as generators or other routes. If your data center needs to be updated or upgraded, how to integrate the updated equipment or system with the original system is also one of the key issues. If it is not a good solution to this problem, the need for updating or upgrading the data center will be discounted.
There has been no discussion of different types of switching mechanisms, or different types of circuit breaker switching mechanisms that data center managers can use. Before investment, it is also important for equipment managers to reexamine their current switching technology to ensure business continuity.
CAN viewpoint
The reliability of the data center has never been as important as it is now. Even a second downtime, will bring huge economic compensation. If you want to know if new distribution technology can help improve efficiency or economy, finding the answers to these three key questions can help you make a decision.
