Power TechnologiesAnswers to the Challenge
Call to Action: Server PowerCall to Action: Server PowerIncrease overall PDS efficiency above 75% in all platform systemsRe-vamp server level PS architecture for size, efficiency, and costPSU needs overhaul for server systems– Make PSU synergistic with server system requirements and
power system architectureUse DBS – demand based switching – to minimize overall power in system VR’s could to maintain cost structure and increase in density.UPS/PDU’s could to increase in efficiency to be above 90% - combined.
