Companies that fail to implement fundamental data center modernization techniques for their IT infrastructure systems run the chance of experiencing unplanned downtime, which can disrupt critical business processes. Some researchers discovered that 31% of companies experienced an IT failure or severe degradation in service within the last year. Unplanned downtime can also be costly.
The risk of physical infrastructure systems going out-of-date increases. Data center managers have two options: modernize their business or outsource them to colocation or cloud service providers. When modernizing your data center, there are three main areas that you need to address: software management systems, equipment hardware (electrical & mechanical), and operations and maintenance programs. We will be focusing on uninterruptible electricity supplies (UPSs) in this blog post.
Rightsizing Your Data Center UPS
Like replacing an old furnace in your home, upgrading your data center’s UPS(s), can increase reliability as well as efficiency and cost savings. The data center workloads and capacity requirements of 10 years ago will likely be quite different from today. These may have changed significantly due to a number of factors including mergers and acquisitions that increase the workload, virtualization technologies which reduce the physical server footprint and cloud migration which allows companies consolidate their on-premise operations.
The right size of an UPS(s), based on future and current capacity requirements, is essential for organizations. It is based on current UPS costs and future capacity requirements.
Data center managers can easily use dropdown menus to input the name, model and size of their UPS. They can also factor in electricity and maintenance expenses. Finally, they can toggle the dials and measure the savings over a 10-year period by switching to a smaller or more efficient model.
Replacing a UPS: Tactical Considerations
A variety of practical considerations must be considered when an organization decides to replace its old UPS with a modern, more efficient and right-sized model. This will ensure that the replacement process goes smoothly.
You should consider whether the replacement UPS will match the existing infrastructure. It must have the correct input/output voltage to be connected to the switchgear. Make sure that the UPS can be connected to IoT. Administrators can remotely manage and monitor the UPS by connecting it with your data center management platform and instrumenting it with IoT sensors. Notify everyone that could be affected and schedule the replacement within a scheduled maintenance window.
