Reflecting on the Biggest Topics of 2019: Industrial UPSs and Edge Data Centers

Image
As we near the end of 2019 (and, incredibly, the decade), it’s a good time to look back at the year and take stock of which topics most resonated with our readers in the commercial and industrial sector. In a nutshell, two topics dominated: industrial UPSs and industrial edge data centers. Our four most popular posts of the year all centered on industrial uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), covering topics including how to choose a UPS that best meets your needs and why they’re so important. At the same time, readers were also interested in industrial edge data centers and how they can help address applications including artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) and video analytics while improving IT resiliency and reducing time to market. Industrial UPS topics resonate Interest in industrial UPSs underlies the reality that, more than ever, commercial and industrial businesses have come to rely on the availability of safe, reliable power to run their businesses.

Schneider Go Green to Graduate Trainee in the UK: Rachel’s Experience

Image
Schneider Go Green Schneider Go Green was a life-changing experience that started my career and I am so grateful for the opportunity the competition gave me. I wouldn’t be in the graduate program in United Kingdom, working in energy and sustainability, without participating in Schneider Go Green. It was an experience I will never forget! Where it all started Hi, my name is Rachel and I was part of the team ‘Charge it Up’ who represented the UK, in the Global Finals of Schneider Go Green 2019. My Go Green journey started back in January when my teammate, Adi and I came up with an idea to provide access to energy to an informal settlement in South Africa. After presenting our idea with fellow students for a University project, our course leader suggested we apply for the Go Green student contest. Little did I know then how our idea would grow and give me so many opportunities for a future in energy. Thanks to Steve Hall for setting us the challenge as part of MSc Sustainable Cities ...

How Customized Racks Help Deliver Advanced Redundancy

Image
When you have nearly a thousand colocation customers who require hyperscale deployments, standard data center racks won’t do. As a provider, we also require speed to market, so customized racks would take too much time or cost too much to keep in stock. Therefore, we worked with Schneider Electric to help overcome this dilemma and deliver advanced redundancy. Switch’s large enterprise customers call for high-density spaces, so we need racks tailored for such capacity — racks that can be implemented quickly. Special design and manufacturing, however, would normally cause delays. Our data centers operate using a Schneider Electric power infrastructure. Each of our facilities has three separate N+2 power systems, with its own generators, transformers, transfer switches, UPS battery back-up systems and PDUs. Switch’s patented hot and cold aisle containment system along with the custom rack solution allows the racks to be filled with as much gear as possible. The final product allows u...
