Emerson Presents.. The Transformation of Data Centre Power Architectures

Entering the Cloud Generation

The unprecedented capacity requirements of large social media, search, colocation and cloud companies are driving massive investments in data centre development. The organisations creating this capacity are continually experimenting with new technologies and designs to push the limits of data centre performance while driving down costs. Their scale, individually and collectively, has the potential to drive signifi cant change in the data centre industry.

It allows them to work with their vendors on custom designs and solutions specific to their needs, bringing new solutions to the market. It also gives them the ability to test multiple designs simultaneously, often within the same facility, to determine which best meets their demands for flexibility, speed and reliability at the lowest cost. While some of the designs and technologies that emerge from this development will be specific to the largest data centres, others will have broad applicability.
