Mexico. The development of highly efficient operational and energy data centers is currently a great challenge for IT administrators, who must also recommend their construction considering key factors that optimize their performance and availability.
These factors to consider are: energy efficiency, availability, scalability and growth that are supported by solutions designed specifically for high density infrastructures in Data Centers that process and store high volumes of information and require constant energy consumption and permanent availability.
For Sam Atassi, Vice President of Tripp Lite for Latin America, the construction of intelligent and reliable infrastructures throughout the Latin American region is becoming increasingly important due to the constant climatic changes that cause failures in the electricity supply, or because of the imminent growth in the short, medium and long term that requires them to be competitive and meet the objectives for which they were created.
"Keeping facilities operational 24 hours a day, 365 days is a critical challenge in the face of the growing demand for resources that must be available even while undergoing preventive maintenance that allows avoiding downtime that means losses in money," explained Atassi.
The executive explained that Tripp Lite is focused on solving the growing problems that affect the availability of the operation through solutions that solve the difficulties experienced by high-density facilities and growing demand for resources. "In terms of energy protection, for example, we manufacture UPS with Hot-Swap capabilities, a technology that works as a bypass that allows the change of energy sources with devices in operation and avoids downtime," he explained.
He noted that as more storage, server, and data processing devices are added, higher capacity UPSs are required for backup and protection. "Scalability (a condition that enables organized, flexible and open growth for the incorporation of new resources into data centers) is considered in the manufacture and design of Tripp Lite modular UPSs that have the property of growing with infrastructure by allowing the addition of new power modules to existing protection units, this allows them to expand their capabilities without having to scrap existing infrastructure."
Also significant challenge faced by Data Center builders is savings in energy consumption and temperature control. With the increase in density in data centers, the temperature within the facilities increases and even more so in certain areas that require greater attention.
Therefore, Atassi said that Tripp Lite has three Solutions and Development Centers (CSD) for training and demonstrations in the region and representatives in the main countries from where the demand for products and technical support to the entire subcontinent is met.
The rapid growth of networking, data processing and telecommunications centers and rooms is served by Tripp Lite through its local offices and the channel's extensive network of business partners and customers that meet end-user demands.
