Installing the ideal UPS equipment in your cloud environment
In order to meet the efficiency level cloud solutions are known for, the cloud service providers need to back their hardware with highly reliable UPS systems. The modern UPS brings with it a series of impressive features, but the equipment would be impractical if it fails to supply sufficient power to support the load until the utility power is completely restored. Generally, there are three topologies to choose from: standby, line-interactive and double-conversion, each with different characteristics, capacity and level of performance. Data center managers usually look for these key features while picking up the UPS systems for their cloud environment: security, availability, resiliency, efficiency and flexibility. Onsite facilities can merely compete with the services and level of performance offered by the cloud infrastructures. Here are a few key considerations: Security: Calculating the security rates of cloud services, it stands high as always and it being the fundamental aspect of cloud computing, service providers has to deliver data center with Tier IV capabilities that ensures to maintain resiliency. In addition, cloud services must be able to provide efficient scalability to support the growing needs. Besides, to upkeep the site’s tier rating data centers need to meet every aspect a Tier IV infrastructure must provide that includes cooling, power distribution, etc. and thus, it must be highly efficient to upkeep the rating.
