ABB delivers intelligent power to secure the data needs of tomorrow . Data centers need power 24 / 7 to avoid outage costs of a reported $ 1 million or more per hour .
ABB ’ s data center solutions and integrated systems are designed for heavy-duty applications and the world ’ s ever-increasing data demands . As an expert in power and automation , we have solutions for every type of data center ; cloud , colocation , telecommunications and financial services customers .
With today ’ s data centers consuming 30 times more power per square foot than the average office building , and with the demand for electricity continuing to grow , it is critical that we plan to use our resources more effectively .
We believe that intelligent data needs intelligent power and provide technologies which allow for stronger integration of renewable energy resources .
We adopt a three-pillar strategy to improve efficiency and ensure continuous operation :
1 . We don ’ t just view energy as electricity – it could also be hot and cold water . We use smart intelligent connections to get heat out and product cooling back to the data center . ABB can offer innovative power grid technology and expertise required to integrate multiple power sources as well as grid power into your data center .
2 . We all know that increasing energy demands lead managers to over-plan capacity from the outset . At ABB , we take a different view , by provisioning electrical infrastructure with more industrial thinking . The use of elastic critical infrastructure allows operators to purchase the required amount of capacity from day one , reducing costs and driving energy efficiency . ABB ’ s entire portfolio is designed for modularity , from components like circuit breakers , UPS systems , all the way through to our engineered solutions like substations .
3 . We also provide solutions for more environmentally friendly data centers through deep component visibility . Data centers can be complicated things ; they include a myriad of devices , from servers to fire extinguishers to cooling equipment , all of which need to be connected . By using industrial protocols that transfer more content and data we minimize the amount of cables and reduce complexity in the architecture
Just imagine how everyone is depending more and more on data , computing power and connectivity , with an increasing reliance on optimum data center performance . At ABB , we can help you meet the data demands of today and tomorrow .
