The Datacenter Power Imperative
Datacenters live and die by uptime. Yet even with multiple layers of redundancy, many operators have limited visibility at the point where the utility meets your infrastructure. When harmonics or poor power factor creep in unnoticed, the result is costly fines, degraded performance, or even unscheduled downtime.
-
Escalating power demands driven by AI, edge compute and high-density racks.
-
Stringent reliability requirements — seconds of disturbance can cost hundreds of thousands.
-
Sustainability and energy-efficiency mandates tightening globally.
-
Capacity planning complexity as new loads and technologies emerge.
-
Traditional measurement systems falling short in accuracy, installation complexity, and integration.
