Data centre invests in safety with Arc Flash protection Schneider Electric has announced its partnership with Rosebery Group for a project at a UK-based global enterprise data centre. Five VAMP 321 Arc Flash relays, 13 Point Sensor I/O units, 11 Current Monitoring units and 145 Point sensors will be installed across the multiple switchboards across the data centre. Arc flash incidents can be detrimental to data centres, no matter how large or small. Arc flash can cause power outages, but also result in loss of business, extensive material damage and can seriously jeopardise the safety of operational staff. This project is an investment in… 17/02/2021Tags: News, Data Centre Management, Arc FlashTopics: Data Centre Management

Taking the heat out of data centres: New cooling solution for connected world In response to rising data centre usage and power demand, MIVOLT has launched two specialist fluids to improve cooling efficiency, allowing for more efficient data centres. Adjusting lifestyle choices, to include 5G, autonomous vehicles and AI are significant drivers to greater data consumption and therefore greater power demand and cooling requirements to data centres. However, energy efficiency measures such as improved cooling are key to decoupling data growth from energy consumption. Data centres are set to become a focal point for climate conversations as their carbon impact… 05/05/2020Tags: Data Centre ManagementTopics: Data Centre Management
