Jakarta (MidLand) – Paul Churchill, vice president and general manager of Vertiv Asia, said that the average electricity consumption in a data center reaches 8-10 kilowatts (kW) per rack and can increase over time as they are used high-performance computers. .
If the server runs 24 hours a day, this means that the total power consumption can reach 192 kW to 240 kW.
This is the real challenge now, according to Paul, so it is important to design efficient and flexible infrastructures that are secure enough for the latest computing performance.
“Customers sometimes want the power of 8 kW to be quickly expanded to 50 kW. But they also want, because they see the potential of their customers, that it can also be expanded to 150 kW. So from 8 to 150 kW, this is a ‘different infrastructure,’ Paul said.
According to Paul, it is possible that local air cooling will work well for servers operating at a power density between 8 kW and 30 or 40 kW.
But in his opinion it is too risky, because everything related to data center security receives enormous attention from customers or server providers.
Additionally, they are usually more willing to let the service run with minimal human intervention as long as the server continues to be up (operational).
Therefore, Vertiv is here to answer the most important challenges facing data centers, communications networks, and commercial and industrial facilities today.
The company opened the PT Vertiv Technology Indonesia office in Jakarta to meet the growing demand for critical digital infrastructure solutions and various other IT services in Indonesia.
