Overview
Data center industry is in the midst of a major growth period stimulated by increasing demand for data processing and storage. That means there are and will continue to be increasing opportunities for -electrical contractors in the data center industry.
The traditional role of the electrical contractor has not been to determine how and where power is installed and used in a building. It was to simply install the power in a safe and professional manner for owners to use where and how they see fit. But in several key ways, data centers are unlike any other sort of building, so it is important to understand the unique elements about electrical power in this industry.
Crash & Burn
“Think of a data center like an airplane,” said Julius Neudorfer, CTO of North American Access Technologies Inc. (NAAT), a New York state data center design and implementation firm. “Redundancy on an airplane needs to be two or three systems deep. If circuits start tripping on an airplane, there still needs to be enough remaining systems capacity in place to allow the plane to keep flying. In the same way, downtime is no longer an option in a data center. It’s like crashing and burning the airplane.”
