6 . Having the right outlet type in the right place 7 . Insecure power cords that work loose due to vibration
Introduction
The hardware technology employed in modern data centers is typically faster and more power dense than prior generations of infrastructure .
CPUs now have tens to hundreds of cores in a single chip , and GPUs are likely to have thousands of cores . Sophisticated software is available to make use of all these cores in parallel , reducing the overall time to perform a given task .
When used together , billions or trillions of operations per second may be performed in a single server enclosure running countless virtual machines or containers .
Unplanned interruptions due to power problems can set back a massive amount of work and result in downtime and lost revenue for the data center . It is in this environment that we most often see the impacts of unexpected power quality degradation .
Historically , assessing power quality has been undertaken during the commissioning and bring-up phase of the data center as a one-time event utilizing manually placed sensors , and would likely not occur again until a massive server refresh cycle is undertaken .
The facilities and IT teams of the data center both must participate , with electricians on standby to troubleshoot and make corrections . p
