Rising power demands and the global initiative of reducing carbon footprints make measuring all aspects of a data center ’ s rack power critical in supplying highly available , reliable power . Beyond the actual power the rack uses , power quality measurement details can troubleshoot sources of power issues such as distortions and variations . These measurements can increase energy efficiencies , improve availability , and manage the existing capacity of the entire data center . Because data centers require an extremely high degree of electrical availability and reliability , an awareness of power quality issues and how to address them – down to the rack or device level – is necessary to protect from downtime ’ s prohibitive costs . As rack power quality patterns become recognizable over time , a long-term monitoring strategy can help find what are leading to a critical situation to help prevent similar cases .

Trending data from the Uptime Institute ’ s research shows that data center outages cost more , and the stakes are only rising . Electrical reliability and rack-level power quality are becoming a critical part of solving a data center ’ s downtime prevention equation . However , many data centers are still risking their bottom lines because they lack advanced intelligent rack power distribution unit ( PDU ) based metering for monitoring and addressing power quality issues at the rack ( and device ) level .

Many data centers face challenges in obtaining accurate power quality data at the rack level due to insufficient information from PDUs . This lack of detail can have adverse effects on both performance and safety , underscoring the need for a solution that delivers precise and comprehensive power quality data . p
