Data centers play a vital role in our data-driven society. As the hub of the internet, they provide the infrastructure and services that enable businesses and individuals to communicate, store, and access data. Data centers require large amounts of power to operate, requiring components that deliver high performance and reliability.
As the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and 5G wireless communications accelerate, data centers face increasing demands for data speed and bandwidth. To deliver future-proof services, data center architectures need to be flexible, and power infrastructure must evolve in tandem.
As more processors are packed into server racks, higher power densities than ever before are required to meet the growing demands of data centers. Power supplies and their connectors must be able to deliver more power per inch of rack space.
Modern high-speed processors rely on power supplies that are immune to surges and spikes caused by external interference. Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems deliver the clean power that servers need. They also provide short-term emergency power during power outages.
All of this equipment generates a lot of heat, which is detrimental to efficient data center operation. This is especially important in data centers, where high temperatures can adversely affect signal integrity, which is critical to high-speed communications. Therefore, thermal management must be given high priority, from creating efficient designs to ensure clean cooling air flow to powering cooling systems.
Connectors for data center applications must be designed to provide the highest efficiency. Energy lost through resistance not only increases operating costs, but also increases heat loads. Dragon Well has expertise in high power connectors to help you achieve optimal performance for your data center applications.
