Best Practice: Power Distribution via Track Busbar Maximum availability, flexibility and reliability for the electrification of server cabinets In mission critical DC environments the reliability and availability of the productive IT hardware are the pillars of success. Modular, scalable and redundant power distribution is essential to achieve TIER I to IV classification. STARLINE track busway provides reliable 100, 225, 250, 400 and 800 amp busbar that can be installed overhead or under the raised floor. Mounting power tap offs takes only a few seconds by inserting the twist-and-lock plug into the busbar and rotating it 90 degrees at any location along the track. Power cables can then be connected directly to the tap offs allowing for immediate power to new racks. Wire-free power monitoring for individual servers, tap-off or busbar level is available from Packet Power.

Best Practice: Redundancy for Single Power Devices Micro Automatic Transfer Switches add fail-safe power to any IT component Reliable power for network devices and servers is a vital part in ensuring uptime in any data centre. For IT equipment with single power supplies, the micro ATS is essential in creating redundancy by providing power from two different sources. Without transfer switches, any power interruption can cause failures and downtime. Not only does the μats test the power supply, but also the incoming voltage. If incoming power is interrupted or if over or under voltage is detected, the source is switched from A to B preventing failures and keeping the IT equipment up and running. A and B power sources do not need to be synchronised and switch well within CBEMA curve recommendations. MICRO AUTOMATIC TRANSFER SWITCHES HIGHLIGHTS:» 1, 2 or 3 port versions» Requires 0U rack space» Supports 8 Amps for 208 to 240 Volts» Switches from power feed A to B within 9 and 11ms» Phases do not need to be aligned» Protects against over and under voltage» Virtual circuit breaker with audio alarm 4 Daxten Best Practices for Power & Monitoring

5 5. Best Practice: Capacity Expansion via Micro DCs Smallest and most cost-effective form factor for on demand DC expansion Mobile and modular Micro Data Centres (MDC) from Elliptical Mobile Solutions are self-enclosed, rack based data centres with up to 42U space for integrating any type of IT equipment. Depending on the MDC model, a closed air or water cooling loop and optional free cooling capabilities are available. As the MDC form factor is smaller than containerised data centres, capacity can be extended only when needed and located in areas that cannot be converted into a full server room. This leads to dramatic cost-savings and faster installation time. EMS MICRO DATA CENTRES HIGHLIGHTS:» Closed cooling loop for IT loads (up to 2.5, 6, 12, 20 or 80 kw)» NEMA 4 (IP56) or NEMA 12 (IP52) protection» Mobile or rack-based enclosure» Easy to deploy, setup and relocate» Shock and vibration isolation protects equipment from damage» Versions for indoor and outdoor usage available» Optional upgrades depending on model 6. Best Practice: Monitor Areas Susceptible to Leaks Leak Detection prevents water damage with catastrophic results in data centres Water leaks pose a huge potential danger in data centres and are one of the main causes of long-term failures of devices and systems. They can also cause technical and structure damage that can be very expensive to fix. Before the threat of even the smallest leak becomes acute and leads to serious risks, the leak first has to be pinpointed and remedied. A SeaHawk leak detection solution represents an effective way of handling this problem. SEAHAWK LEAK DETECTION HIGHLIGHTS:» Reliable detection of water leaks or other liquids» Alerts by SNMP or depending on model» Spot detectors to monitor a confined zone» Sensing cables to monitor areas susceptible to leaks» Zone controllers generate alarms» Remote controllers pinpoint the exact location of leaks» Controller can be integrated into DCIM or BMS» Communication via SNMP, Modbus, BACnet or N2 Best Practices for Power & Monitoring Daxten 5
