Vertical Expansion

Enterprises have been struggling with Data center mounting up their Cost as real estate costs are raising. Moreover, increased power usage and rising interests from the CXOs for newer services from existing infrastructure is driving many CIOs to look at newer options namely: vertical expansion of data centers and the right power distribution units (PDU).

Sanjay Motwani, Regional Director, India, SEA, Taiwan & Hong Kong, Raritan International says that taking 3phase power to the rack is the best way to be able to achieve higher compute densities / rack. Hence, deployment of 3phase PDU’s at the rack level – which then provides single phase power to the IT equipment – is the most cost efficient way of doing this. Most importantly maximum utilization of space or rather getting the highest power per square foot becomes inevitable if the rapidly increasing big data storage needs have to be accommodated. “The best way forward for sustained growth and data centre efficiency is vertical expansion, given the different constraints of space time, and so on,” Motwani said.
