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…

Dutch National Institute selects AMD and Lenovo in Coronavirus Fight

AMD has just announced a new design win with Lenovo and Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics. Nikhef is dedicating its new and freshly installed compute cluster, currently in its test phase, to calculation efforts to fight COVID-19. Normally used for calculations on particle physics and gravitational waves, the data centre in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, is offering compute power to the University of Washington’s Rosetta@home project, which is trying to unravel the underlying protein structure with massive calculation nodes.

The Lenovo ThinkSystem SR655 based…

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…

Router enables contactless data collection

Plant Reliability specialist AVT Reliability has enhanced its Machine Sentry suite of cloud-based condition monitoring tools with the launch of its long range, low energy Bluetooth router, Gateway.
