Generators+upss: Match Or Bridge To Nowhere?

摘要

The continued acceleration of the Internet has been accompanied by an equally large demand for high-quality power to feed the Internet infrastructure. Internet power consumption continues to increase in the magnitude of hundreds of megawatts or more per week, taxing the already stressed electrical grid. Requiring a continuous source of high-quality uninterrupted power, critical Internet infrastructures must rely on internal power quality protection systems. The caliber of the power quality system protecting critical computing operations is a defining factor for users who now feel the effects of power-related problems often in millions of dollars per incident, as well as an incalculable loss of reputation for a business based on being on-line 24/7. Voice-over-IP (VoIP), e-commerce, mobile, and e-mail communications are just a few of the Internet-based technologies that demand clean, uninterrupted power. Today, power quality is the number-one issue affecting Internet and communications reliability.
