Data centers

When power management is essential, Socomec has the expertise to guarantee the performance of your electrical installations. By delivering the most innovative solutions and services for your precise requirements, we help ensure your data center's power availability and energy performance. Whether you're a data center manager or owner, our expert advice and innovative solutions will help you get your electrical installation running optimally to meet your energy targets.

Operational continuity is a significant challenge for data centers, mainly as demand grows and architectures become more complex. Outages can have disastrous effects on the site operator and service users. 
For the operator, this could mean substantial financial losses, damage to property, or a damaged reputation. For users, outages can lead to data loss and file corruption in the process of being written. The leading cause of outages in data centers is linked to the power supply. However, 80% of these outages can be anticipated and sometimes even avoided if the right reflexes are adopted when designing the electrical architecture of data centers by choosing the right solutions.  For example, the operator of a data center needs to manage its lithium-ion batteries optimally. 

To remain competitive, data centers must reduce operating costs without compromising performance. 
Rationalizing the infrastructure, optimizing energy consumption, and integrating innovative technologies to improve performance are ways to stay in the race. 
Socomec offers innovative solutions that enable tangible savings while ensuring optimum performance. 
In particular, they make it possible to measure the data center’s PUE (power usage effectiveness), significantly reduce UPS losses, and take advantage of energy storage to consume more efficiently.

The rise of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and big data forces data centers to adapt quickly to meet growing capacity and performance requirements. 
In this context, facilities need to be increasingly flexible and responsive.

With our scalable solutions, you can add power modules to your UPS or extend your power metering system as your data center activity grows.

This flexibility allows you to optimize the design and operating costs and quickly adapt to future technological challenges.
 

Performing maintenance on equipment in data centers is a real challenge for several reasons:

• Critical infrastructure provides essential services, and any maintenance operation, even if planned, can cause a temporary interruption in services, which can have severe repercussions on the activity of specific applications or businesses.
• Equipment often interacts with other equipment. Therefore, working on one piece of equipment can affect the whole installation.
• The maintenance of data center equipment requires specific technical skills and, therefore, depends on the availability of experts.

Our innovative solutions enable you to adopt an optimized maintenance program for your data center to anticipate malfunctions and considerably reduce the Mean Time To Repair (MTTR) and on-site operations.

Data centers are significant energy consumers, mainly due to the continuous operation of servers and the cooling required to keep them running smoothly.

Therefore, this industry's rapid growth requires special attention to reduce its environmental impact.

Socomec offers innovative solutions to help reduce the carbon footprint of data centers: precise monitoring and analysis of power consumption, installation of high-efficiency equipment to minimize losses with an extended lifespan, and reduction of travel to sites. Discover all our solutions.
