Data center managers are constantly looking for ways to improve efficiency and reliability. The goal: 100% uptime! Here is how this can be achieved.  

Power independence equals efficiency  

The first and most important factor related to uptime is power supply. Our experience at Lamda Hellix has shown that advanced UPS systems offer extreme reliability.

Yet, for a modern data center nothing can replace an updated and technologically advanced power-distribution network, which can ensure less reliance on backup power. 

Power failure can be costly in numerous ways, whereas modern power infrastructure can increase efficiency at all levels.  

 

State-of-the-art switchgear is key 

As the switchgear industry continues to evolve, advanced data centers are looking at switchgear as a competitive advantage, enabling them to update aging electrical infrastructure and deliver high levels of power availability.  

Recent innovations in the field increases availability of medium and low voltage networks with optimal performance. 

Also, new designs in smaller and more modular switchgears allows them to operate maintenance free, increasing uptime, reducing maintenance risks, and cost of ownership.  

 

Cost-efficiency done right 

Data center managers are trying to balance cost-efficiency and uptime. Modern equipment allows for better space allocation within the data center while providing even better results.  

New switchgear designs are here to improve distribution of the power range, helping managers reduce the amounts of risks (less cables, less maintenance, less risks).  

As uptime percentage is largely based on the electrical system, accessible innovations are already available making our lives easier.  

Yet, we all know innovations and advanced equipment may come at a cost.  

The obvious “secret” is balancing cost with results.  

 

Invest in preventative maintenance 

While technology is empowering data center towards reducing friction from maintenance, it goes without saying that preventative maintenance still remains key.  

This is something we have heavily invested in here at Lamda Hellix and our customers identify our efforts:
