By Phoenix Contact
DATA centres are essential, but energy-intensive infrastructures. At Phoenix Contact, we are committed to reducing carbon emissions while ensuring continuous operation. We provide solutions where reliability and environmental responsibility go hand in hand.
Phoenix Contact’s power reliability solutions provide significant advantages for data centres by ensuring a continuous and stable power supply, which is critical to uninterrupted operation. Together, our solutions improve the reliability, efficiency, and resilience of data centres and support their continuous and optimum operation.
To reduce energy consumption and improve sustainability, data centre operators are looking for solutions to address growing environmental concerns. As manufacturers ourselves, we are striving for the All-Electric Society, where electrical energy is affordable and available in sufficient quantities, which is perfectly suited to the needs of state-of-the-art data centres.
Our technologies in data centre applications
Power Distribution
Reliable power distribution is crucial in the fast-moving world of data centres to ensure smooth operation and to protect critical data. Our advanced solutions, which are seamlessly integrated into Power Distribution Units (PDUs), are at the heart of this reliability, efficiently distributing energy to the server racks. Phoenix Contact improves this reliability with solutions for control cabinet building that increase efficiency and durability. In addition, our connector portfolio provides robust and secure connections from the PDUs to the server racks, making your data centre’s energy infrastructure both resilient and reliable.
Energy resilience
Integrated, coordinated supply concepts, which include power supply in UPS systems, device protection, and surge protection, help prevent unplanned system failures and downtime. Lightning strikes and current peaks are unpredictable risk factors. They can cause fires, downtimes in important systems, and even data loss. Considering lightning and surge protection in the early planning phase makes implementation easier.
Phoenix Contact provides robust solutions for energy reliability that effectively address these risks.
Monitoring and control
The Phoenix Contact building automation and energy monitoring solutions, supported by the Niagara Framework, improve the efficiency of data centres by optimising energy consumption through comprehensive monitoring and load management, integrating renewable energy sources, and providing data-driven insights for operational optimisation.
Their systems support seamless integration and centralised control, reduce manual intervention and errors, resulting in lower operating costs, greater user convenience, and a more sustainable data centre environment. To ensure reliable temperature control and reduce energy consumption, the use of our solution is an example of optimising cooling efficiency.
Phoenix Contact strives to partner with suppliers and end users to provide sustainable technologies that add value and ensure optimal efficiencies and reliability for their continuous operation.
With our proven knowledge and world-renowned product offering, we can reach our overall goal of ensuring that we meet our commitment of creating a sustainable world through the All-Electric Society.
