How to Choose a 150kW Communication Power Supply Rack

4 FAQs about How to Choose a 150kW Communication Power Supply Rack

What is kilowatt per rack?

Kilowatt per rack (kW/rack) is the power assigned to a server rack in a data center. It is measured in kilowatts (kW) and represents the total power needed for all IT equipment in that rack. Colocation providers offer different power levels: Power density depends on server type, workload, and cooling efficiency.

What percentage of data centers have less than 10kW racks?

It's important to note that 37 percent of data centers still have racks of less than 10kW. There are three key reasons why these data centers have not seen substantial increases in rack density. Server virtualization has been around for decades, and containerization has been used for several years.

Do data centers need advanced rack power distribution technologies?

Without advanced rack power distribution technologies, data centers are at risk of being unable to keep up with the ever-expanding business requirements. This white paper discusses the forces shaping today's data centers and describes the capabilities businesses should look for when selecting PDUs.

What is a rack power distribution unit?

A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is an appliance made for transmitting electrical energy to numerous devices within the server rack. It acts as an important part in data centers, which guarantees continuous and reliable power supply from a rack mount PDU to servers and networking devices.
