Our society has become highly dependent on electrical power. Directly or indirectly this impacts the average person, as well as businesses and government agencies, at virtually every level.

Moreover, in the Internet age of the digital economy, mobile computing and cloud based services, as well as increased dependence on digital records by emergency services and health care providers, have raised the demand for 24/7 availability of data centers.

While the basic concept and need of the back-up power system has not changed, the increased availability requirements for mission critical back-up power systems for data center and telecommunication systems has become more important than ever.

This webinar will discuss the key aspects of high-availability power schemes for data centers and how they meet the various requirements and issues related to supporting critical IT equipment and cooling system loads.
