400VDC: How Delta enabled TASK Data Center to Achieve Sustainable Growth with Smart Choices

WHAT

Adoption of 400VDC power systems in data centers

WHERE

Data centers seeking sustainable growth and operational efficiency are transitioning from AC to DC power systems, specifically leveraging 400VDC technology.

WHY

To address growth challenges, enhance power output, and optimize operational efficiency and flexibility. Additionally, this shift assists in reducing carbon footprint and enhancing integration of renewable energy sources.

BENEFITS

20% increase in power output
Up to 30% additional space due to higher power density
80% reduction in required copper wire compared to AC systems
Greater potential for growth and innovation
Seamless integration of renewable energy sources
Improved cybersecurity measures for data protection

In the lively city of Gdansk, the TASK Data Center stands out. It’s a clear sign of smart decision-making and green growth. TASK teamed up with Delta, experts in custom power solutions, and started using 400VDC. This powerful tech is now becoming popular in data centers worldwide, showing its many benefits.

Tackling Growth Challenges with Tech

TASK was facing problems. More demand on their supercomputer and rising data traffic meant they had to grow. But their old UPS power system was causing issues. They were siloed, the power output was limited, and they had phase problems, not ideal for their sensitive computer hardware. So, in order to scale the right way, they chose to be smart about it and made the jump from AC to DC.

Easy Switch with Delta’s Know-How

In a meeting of minds, TASK representatives – and later, Delta engineers – joined forces, sharing a mutual vision of intelligent and sustainable progress. 400VDC was a new concept at the time. Everyone was talking about it, but Delta had already implemented the groundbreaking 400VDC in the telecom market, rendering them the perfect partner for TASK’s ambitious transition. With Delta’s help, TASK saw a 20% boost in their power output.

More Flexibility and Efficiency with 400VDC

Adopting 400VDC enabled TASK to expand their data center optimally. The technology allows a higher power density, moving more power through each cable and freeing up to 30% more space. This new efficiency provided TASK with the flexibility to design their server floor to meet specific needs, including the capability to transfer power over longer distances, reducing the amount of required copper wire by a striking 80% compared to AC systems.

Making Room for Growth with 400VDC

Utilising the capability of 400VDC to transport power over extended distances, TASK effectively relocated their power systems and backup batteries further away from the main server floor. This shift created additional room for critical equipment, enabling a liberated floor space that fostered TASK’s potential for unrestrained growth and innovation.

“With 400VDC, we have the stability and flexibility we need to keep growing, allowing our supercomputer to continue to accelerate research and innovation.”

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

Beyond scalability, TASK Data Center placed paramount importance on sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint. By switching from AC to DC, Delta makes it easy to add solar panels and other renewables into your energy mix so that you can minimise your carbon emissions as you grow.

In the Digital Age, Security Is Key

To ensure maximum protection, advanced cybersecurity measures have been seamlessly integrated into the design of TASK’s data center. This multi-tiered defense approach ensures the safety and confidentiality of all critical data.

The Future is DC

With an illustrious track record spanning decades in telecom data centers across Europe, Delta has continually driven innovation and fostered intelligent decision-making. The future undeniably belongs to DC, and the partnership between TASK and Delta serves as a testament to the possibilities of sustainable growth. Together, we will make the right decisions for your data center, so that you can be smart about it and grow the right way.
