From smart buildings to conference rooms; laptop computers to AI server farms; hyperscale datacenters to network closets everywhere, the unifying component, no matter how large or small the deployment, is power.
More than ever before, all facets of business operations depend on reliable and stable delivery of power for our connected world. With rapid evolution, advancements, and adoption of the latest technological creations, this demand only continues to grow exponentially each year.
Recent reports project datacenter spending to surge from $430 billion in 2024 to over $1 trillion by the end of 2029. Over the past 5-6 years, the industry average power draw per datacenter rack has tripled from 5 kW to nearly 15 kW, with advanced hyper-scalers and cloud providers now pushing over 100 kW to a single rack.
This expansion in power demands is not solely focused on the needs of datacenters and large scale users either. AI-enabled laptops with CPUs capable of drawing over 100 watts of power are now commonplace. Sophisticated security cameras needing 90 watts of PoE power have significantly increased the power draw on standard endpoint switches. Even an entry level virtual server or database server can now consume 1000 watts of power just for two processors and a single GPU card.
Often overlooked or taken for granted, power and the necessary PDUs, transfer switches, and battery backup units necessary to deliver the required power to all these advanced connected devices can no longer be addressed when they fail to perform and must be a focal component of any modern IT project plan.
Power delivery experts, like industry leader Eaton, now offer customers the ability to not only see these products in person, but explore all the features and test them first hand at their world class Experience Center in Raleigh, North Carolina. This includes small and large scale power distribution, power management, power monitoring, and backup power solutions for any industry and vertical.
Power needs and demands continue to grow not only in terms of outright draw, but also how they are deployed, managed, and secured to minimize disruptions in uptime across the entire organization.
