Data Center World 2025

Traditional electrical signature analysis in data centers is typically done periodically on individual pieces of equipment, but that may not indicate site-wide power quality issues. ESA applied at a facility level can enable quick troubleshooting of power distribution and transients, but how does one do that?

The solution is to analyze multiple continuous captures that are time-synchronized across the facility with milli-second precision. Mission-critical software can process these multiple captures to rapidly identify an issue with the internal power distribution or with an individual piece of equipment, localizing the risk for immediate action. It can also identify potential issues outside the facility such as the quality of power from a feeder substation.

Identifying and responding to these risks in real-time improves the reliability of the affected equipment. Cloud-based remote analysis and management can provide additional insights for strategic decisions. Ultimately, this helps data centers run their power infrastructure more efficiently, extends the life of the equipment and contributing to sustainable data center operation.
