THE FUTURE OF DATA CENTER UPS POWER AT SCALE
Join the discussion
In power terms hyperscale data centers are changing the game. UPS technology that is large scale, sustainable, reliable and saves energy is the most credible way to power the 500 hyperscale data centers expected to be built in this decade.
What does it cover?
Hyperscale data center IT power consumption is rising radically but when evaluating UPS options, current thinking is decidedly static.
This approach is fundamentally flawed. Is there a credible alternative to paralleling the myriad of static UPS modules required to reach the ever-increasing tens of megawatts required? Yes there is.
This webinar will be of interest to anyone involved with cost, availability, maintainability, performance and sustainability objectives.

Robert Thorogood Guest Speaker, Executive Director, HDR | Hurley Palmer Flatt
By combining his degree at Imperial College with industrial training with Hawker Siddeley in the early 1980s, Robert quickly moved into R&D in the areas of switchgear, controls, machines and transformers. With this excellent academic and practical grounding, he then moved to his first M&E engineering consultancy with James R Briggs, where he worked on a variety of projects from commercial to historic buildings to Royal Academy to prisons! In 1989, Robert then moved to a multi-disciplinary consultancy, Aukett, who at the time were designing and overseeing the construction of data centres for the likes of Royal & Sun Alliance and Marks & Spencer. Robert quickly took up the reins of projects from Lloyds Bank and GSK both in London and Stevenage. Over the years, Robert developed this capability within Aukett culminating during the dot.com boom times with projects for Level 3, Worldcom and BT to name a few. Looking for a new challenge, Robert joined Hurley Palmer Flatt in 2004 and immediately started on a range of data centres for the likes of Barclays, Morgan Stanley and Merrill Lynch; these were all high profile, high end technology data centres being delivered quickly and effectively. Since then, Robert has led the change in data centre design, moving towards adiabatic cooling, fresh air cooling and alternative power delivery processes such as distributed redundancy, these have all been part of a continual evolving design to meet the requirements and demands of the data centre market. Robert continues to specialise in critical engineering design and delivery, but also applies his capabilities to other related areas such as trading buildings and healthcare infrastructure. Although he is based in London, he now spends a lot of time in the integration process with HDR’s TMT design teams to offer critical engineer design solutions to clients on a regional and global basis.
