The Future of Data Center UPS Power at Scale

In power terms hyperscale data centers are changing the game. UPS technology that is large scale, sustainable, reliable and saves energy is the most credible way to power the 500 hyperscale data centers expected to be built in this decade.

Robert Thorogood Guest Speaker, Executive Director, HDR | Hurley Palmer Flatt

By combining his degree at Imperial College with industrial training with Hawker Siddeley in the early 1980s, Robert quickly moved into R&D in the areas of switchgear, controls, machines and transformers. With this excellent academic and practical grounding, he then moved to his first M&E engineering consultancy with James R Briggs, where he worked on a variety of projects from commercial to historic buildings to Royal Academy to prisons! In 1989, Robert then moved to a multi-disciplinary consultancy, Aukett, who at the time were designing and overseeing the construction of data centres for the likes of Royal & Sun Alliance and Marks & Spencer. Robert quickly took up the reins of projects from Lloyds Bank and GSK both in London and Stevenage.

What does it cover?

Hyperscale data center IT power consumption is rising radically but when evaluating UPS options, current thinking is decidedly static.

This approach is fundamentally flawed. Is there a credible alternative to paralleling the myriad of static UPS modules required to reach the ever-increasing tens of megawatts required? Yes there is.

This webinar will be of interest to anyone involved with cost, availability, maintainability, performance and sustainability objectives.
