Recent indicate that in “2013, U.S. data centers consumed an estimated 91 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity, equivalent to the annual output of 34 large (500-megawatt) coal-fired power plants. Data center electricity consumption is projected to increase to roughly 140 billion kilowatt-hours annually by 2020.” To lessen the electricity consumed at data centers, facilities have begun to change the infrastructure to low voltage, UL listed Form 4b Type 7 design switchgear.

In addition to optimizing power consumption, floor space that can be allocated to revenue-generating IT equipment — such as server racks — is a primary concern, but often consumed by facility equipment such as switchgear. The smaller footprint of Anord–s Form 4b Type 7 design is helping mission-critical facility operators better utilize their available space for revenue purposes.

“Anord–s AMS switchgear allows mission-critical facility operators to invest in superior power systems that enhance operator safety and preserve valuable floor space for customer facing services,” said John Day, VP of Sales and Marketing, Anord Critical Power. “We are proud of how quickly North American data centers have embraced our unique switchgear compartmentalization design that separates the busbars from breaker compartments and breaker compartments from each other. The Uptime Institute Symposium–s attendees are among the industry–s most knowledgeable audiences — we look forward to exchanging best practices with them.”

Since establishing its U.S.-based subsidiary in 2014, Anord Critical Power has expanded its North American headquarters, broadened its AMS Switchgear portfolio and forged strategic partnerships and new alliances. Additionally, the product has been recognized among the list of 20 Infrastructure Providers and received the 2014 infoTECH Spotlight .
