Data Centre Power Systems & Solutions

Nowhere in the world is the bar higher for efficiency than a new data center.  There’s always the pressure to get online in record time. Every week, every day, every hour they’re not online, millions of dollars are at risk. 

The growth of technologies like Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing rely on racks of servers to power their innovative impact. From 2022 to 2023 alone, data centers saw a 55% increase in energy consumption*, and the first half of 2023 saw the largest amount of data center construction in history.** 

With the demand for new data centers showing no signs of slowing, HARTING's portfolio of power equipment and connectivity solutions helps get data centers online sooner and stay online more reliably.

30% smaller system control panels speed installation from weeks to days. 

 Traditionally, the large, somewhat bulky Building Management System (BMS) cabinet can take weeks to hook up through hardwiring. With the transition to plug-and-play connectors, panels can be installed much faster and more cost effectively. 

✓ Connectorized panels arrive on-site assembled, pre-tested, and ready for installation
✓ Exterior-fused cabinet plug eliminates costly cabinet wiring labor from control engineers hardwiring thousands of IO points
✓ Speed up retrofitting current facilities and future equipment refreshes
✓ Safer, more efficient product construction support sustainability initiatives
✓ Standardization simplifies construction process for procurement and installation teams

Pluggable cable harnesses accelerate data center commissioning. 

Switching from hardwired to plug-and-play rack PDU connectors can unlock speed-to-market and future flexibility. In fact, we helped author the universal standard with Microsoft’s Project Olympus and the Open Compute Project’s Open Rack ORv3.* This globally scalable inventory, backed by a worldwide supply network, enables rapid setup and delivery anywhere. 

✓ 5 to 7-wire bridging functionality is globally compatible and ready for deployment in data centers in every region
✓ Stock and ship Rack PDUs for launches in Europe, North America, China, or anywhere in the world
✓ Reduce rPDU supply chain points of failure, allowing for faster scaling
✓ Eliminate need to source and stock region-specific components
✓ Modularity allows for multiple connection types and sizes within one compact port
