4 FAQs about 15kW System Integration for Bridge Data Center Cabinets

What is the power density of a rack cabinet in data centers?

It is estimated that by 2020, the power density of a single rack cabinet in data centers will achieve 16.5kW. For example, when Intel retrofitted two foundries into a green data center with high power density, the power density per rack reached as high as 43kW. Source: Colocation America, 2014

Why do data centers need bridging power?

Data centers consume a huge amount of electricity. As a result, they're exposed to price volatility and even a small increase can ripple into major expenses. With bridging power, you can move some or all of your power supply off-grid, giving you more control over how you generate power and the associated costs.

What is a modular data center infrastructure solution?

Modular solutions were developed for data center infrastructure years ago to provide flexibility for enterprises responding to expansion needs and to overcome power and cooling insufficiency and space challenges,” said Dr. Charles Tsai, the general manager of Delta's mission critical infrastructure solutions business unit.

How much power does a data center need?

The ever-increasing power density has also far exceeded the processing capabilities of most old facilities. In previous years, each rack in a data center was designed for 6kW power density. However, when faced with high density racks of 15kW or above, facilities clearly do not meet requirements.
