Boosting data center voltage increases efficiency

摘要

An unmistakable theme in this recession has been to do more with less. IT managers are pressured by executive management to find solutions that save operational costs while improving the company's "green" image. In this regard, there's one particular solution I consider low- hanging fruit -240-V distribution to the racks. This typerndistribution may not seem familiar, but if I had said, "230-V dis-tribution to the rack," any IT manager who has traveled to a datarncenter in Europe would at least recognize this type of voltage distribution.
