The wrong transfer switch can let you down when you need it the most. Automatic transfer systems have slower transfer times and often fail due to electrical arcing.  Static transfer switches that rely on silicon-controlled rectifiers are more reliable but demand greater power and cooling resources and are several times more expensive to begin with.  

Hybrid rack transfer switches take the best features of both systems and combine them into one high performing, reliable package. See why you should consider the hybrid rack transfer switch for your data center.

The Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) metric which was first introduced by The Green Grid® in 2007 has become the de facto standard for measuring data center efficiency.  But despite its prevalence, many data center operators are unclear on what PUE is, how it is calculated, and how it can be used to further energy efficiency initiatives. For instance, many data center managers know that their PUE readings should be as close to the number one as possible, but why?
