Keeping Data, and Everything Behind It, Running
A data center may look like rows and rows of servers, but there's a lot happening behind the scenes to keep those servers online. Cooling systems, pumps, fans, backup power, electrical distribution, environmental monitoring, and alarms all have to work together around the clock.
We can help with the automation and electrical components supporting that critical infrastructure.
183 Terrawatt Hours
U.S. data centers consumed an estimated 183 TWh of electricity in 2024; more than 4% of total U.S. electricity consumption.
Servers Don't Like to Sweat
All that computing generates a tremendous amount of heat, making cooling one of the most critical support systems in a data center.
Every Second Counts
A failed pump, restricted airflow, temperature spike, or power issue can quickly threaten equipment and uptime. This is why redundancy and real-time monitoring matter.
Typical Use Cases in Data Centers
Cooling System Automation
Keep the equipment cool when the computing heats up. Data centers depend on cooling systems running flawlessly 24/7. Automation helps maintain stable temperature and humidity while reducing energy costs.
Backup Power & Generator Monitoring
Be ready when the primary power isn't. Data centers require reliable backup power systems, including generators and automatic transfer switches (ATS).
Leak Detection & Water System Monitoring
Water and servers aren't exactly best friends. Water leaks are one of the biggest threats to data centers, especially near electrical equipment.
Chilled Water & Cooling Pump Control
Keep cooling water moving, and have backup ready. Most data centers rely on chilled water loops for heat rejection. Pumps must be monitored continuously to prevent failure and ensure redundancy.
Airflow & Environmental Monitoring
Hot spots are definitely not the goal. Airflow is everything in a data center. Restricted airflow can cause hot spots that shorten equipment life.
Remote Monitoring & Alarm Management
Know there's a problem before someone has to go looking for it. Data centers often operate with lean staff and rely heavily on remote alerts and monitoring systems.
How We Can Help
Data centers aren't producing widgets, they're protecting uptime.
We can help with the automation and electrical components behind the systems that make that possible, from VFDs and motor controls for cooling equipment to sensors, PLCs, circuit protection, networking, alarms, and thermal management.
Whether you're maintaining an existing facility, upgrading infrastructure, or building equipment for a new data center, we'll help you find the components you need to keep things cool, connected, powered, and running.
