You want to know about Blade Server Power Solution so here is its detail:

INTRODUCTION
With the high cost of data center floor space and current advances in technology, new installations with denser cabinets that require more power and cooling continues to be the trend. Besides the challenges that new installations present, equipment cabinet upgrades can also be a problem as the existing power and cooling currently provided may not support the new cabinet configuration. Surveys show that Information Technology equipment is typically replaced every 2 to 5 years depending on the individual organization and its needs. Surveys also show (See Chart 1) that when asked about their top 3 concerns; Heat/Power Density is the number one concern of Data Center Management.

High density applications like cluster server configurations have in some cases pushed the kW power demands as high as 40 kW per cabinet. The required power depends on the equipment, how dense the cabinet is and whether redundancy is required. This has led to new and innovative solutions for providing cabinet level power utilizing CDU’s (Cabinet Distribution Units).
