How to Build an Energy Plan for Data Centers
Energy demands are only going to increase. Here’s how you can overcome industry challenges and rise above your competition.
01
The Challenge
You need to power your data centers— and fast.
Our Solution:
The market lead time for transformers is typically two to four years. We cut that down to four to 20 months. How? With an extensive network of global partners and experts that ensures you get the power you need, faster than you’ve ever gotten it before.
02
The Challenge
Supply chain issues can limit the availability and effectiveness of products.
Our Solution:
Relying on a single supplier or geographic region for transformers can expose you to potential disruptions. We maintain a diversified network across Europe, Asia, and North America, giving you reliable, flexible access to critical equipment. And because our end-to-end service handles everything from design, procurement, and logistics through transportation, installation, and maintenance, you’ll never feel out of control.
03
The Challenge
You’re trying to reach energy goals while maintaining reliable uptime.
Our Solution:
As power requirements and clean energy initiatives increase, data centers should prioritize efficient, adaptable transformers. Energy-efficient transformers with smart grid compatibility reduce operational costs, minimize energy loss, and allow for better monitoring. We offer full integration of renewable energy solutions and eco-friendly practices, and we’re committed to maximizing performance to applicable standards, including IEC, IEEE, ANSI, NERC, and ISO-9001.
04
The Challenge
You need to plan for infrastructure redundancy and resilience.
Our Solution:
Unplanned outages cost money and cause extra stress and frustration. Incorporating backup transformers and implementing redundant systems can help mitigate the impact that these unexpected equipment failures cause. Our mobile transformers keep you agile and running without disruption.
