Data centers are highly complex. For a data center to function reliably, a flawless and coordinated infrastructure is required. In addition to the power supply, this also includes cooling, the IT network and security.
We support our customers in creating tailored, reliable and flexible data centers.
Overview:
Monitoring and controlling a data center requires solutions that ensure a functioning infrastructure and provide transparency about the data.
Large amounts of energy are consumed every day in order to make the many data stored in a data center available at any time. WAGO Energy Data Management processes measurement data from different media, along with influencing variables for energy monitoring, further analysis, archiving and reporting. The software automatically detects different signals from the connected meters and sensors, making them available to additional energy analysis tools via simple parameter settings. Depending on whether it is a new or existing system, different WAGO products are available for energy data collection.
In colocation data centers, cost centers must be established and made available monthly as energy metrics. WAGO’s MID Series Energy Meters allow you to record and bill individual racks or rental areas and assign customers in the form of cost centers.
Cooling accounts for a large portion of the total cost of ownership in the data center. It is required to protect the countless servers and systems from overheating. The electricity consumed by the air-conditioning systems in the data centers is mainly generated by the motors that drive the compressors and blowers. Our HVAC technology helps you keep your servers cool.
In addition to a functioning cooling system, efficient lighting management is also an important component of a functioning and sustainable data center infrastructure. With WAGO Lighting Management, you integrate intelligent lighting control into your data center.
By integrating the WAGO control systems, you unite and centralize all building systems together, significantly improving the efficiency, availability and security of your data center operations. The temperature or humidity in the server rooms can be monitored and, if adaptation is necessary, measures such as cooling can be implemented quickly.
Application Examples
Application Example: Control Solutions
Application Example: Monitoring Solutions
Wiring server racks and all building systems in the data center is important for increasing fail safety. WAGO offers a wide range of connection technology and system wiring.
Electrical Interconnections
Reliable interconnection technology must be used to maintain the constant data flow of a data center and make it possible to process and store large data volumes.
WAGO’s suitable electrical interconnection technology makes it easy, safe, maintenance-free: for DIN-rails, distribution boxes, PCBs or as pluggable connectors in cable ducts or control cabinets.
Interface Modules and System Wiring
Wire individual components of your equipment quickly, easily and systematically – whether for automation, or at the interconnection point between control cabinet wiring and a standard interface such as RS-232. As system and control cabinet solutions become more and more complex, this approach saves time and money on planning, installation and commissioning. Take advantage of the diverse product portfolio of universal interface modules and system wiring, as well as controller-specific components.
