Modular uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) have grown in popularity. They offer advantages over more traditional single or monobloc UPS systems. Whilst their initial cost may be higher, the benefits offered by modular power protection more than off-set the higher initial investment required.

The rack power density calculation is one of the most fundamental when it comes to server room and data centre designs. The calculation is based on a summation of the total kilowatts (kW) of power consumed by all the devices within each server cabinet. Multiplied by the total number of cabinets or server racks in the room, the total provides the basis for capacity planning, sizing critical power protection and cooling systems.

It has always been important to monitor data centre and server room temperatures. A sudden temperature rise can indicate failure of a cooling system component – air conditioner, CRAC or CRAH unit, a change in the IT load configuration or worst case a fire incident.

When we are asked to audit a server room or data centre one of the first things, we want to establish are the design standards and management systems the facility should conform to. The answers to this question can vary dependent upon the size of the IT facility and to some extent the industries they serve.

The latest version of AKCPro Server DCIM software includes new features to manage small to medium sized data centres and server rooms, including sensorCFD support to model air flow and analyse areas for cooling system optimisation and energy savings.

Availability is a key measure for a server room and data centre design. The key performance indicator is a percentage of the time an IT facility is operational, compared to the total period being measured and is often express in ‘nines’

When and where was the first data centre installed? Some reports state that the first official data centre was built in the US in 1946 to house the ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer). However, the UK may have been earlier if you include Alan Turing and the team at Bletchley Park who built the Universal Machine called “Christopher” to crack the Enigma code.
