Power Struggle: How IT Managers Cope With Data Center Power Demands and the Raptor Solution

Overview

A major concern faced by data center operators is the power consumption and cooling of the equipment in the data center. These operators must continuously plan and implement plans to update, increase the number of, and relocate switching units and the associated devices into other areas using other cooling sources, while distributing the operation of the data center and remaining under a single operational Layer 2/3/4 switch. The primary goals for data center operators are to save power costs and cool the systems to prevent heat-induced failures, expand data center space without straining the company budget every time an expansion occurs and plan a distributed data center that truly scales to the needs of the company.
