Electronics Protection - September/October 2011 - (Page 3)

Contents Anyone that has ever received a utility bill that was higher than expected knows energy is expensive. That is why balancing processing power and system availability with power efficiency is such a difficult task for system managers and product designers. Because of this, every year at this time we dedicate an issue to power protection related topics. While meeting with the folks at Emerson Network Power I learned one area of interest in this space is the benefits DC power for data centers. If you’re currently building or managing a data center, you’ll want to flip to page 8 to learn more.
