Congratulations to our friend and colleague, Steve Fairfax, for having his article entitled “The Impact of UPS Autonomy on Reliability and Safety” published in the latest issue of 7×24 Exchange International magazine!
Is longer battery autonomy really the key to better data center reliability? Not always. After 25 years of analyzing data center performance, Steve reveals surprising insights:
- Why extended battery autonomy can actually introduce more risk, especially during critical failure points like generator startup
- How Hybrid SuperCapacitors are emerging as a more reliable alternative, offering higher power density and reliability for UPS systems
- And what decision-makers need to consider when evaluating backup power strategies.
If you’re involved in data center design, operations, or risk planning, this is a must-read! You can download a PDF of the article here.
