This paper provides a high-level overview of software trustworthiness for developers, owner-operators and decision makers in industrial internet of things (IIoT) systems. We address various aspects of creating, acquiring and protecting software. We provide practical and actionable best practices for recognizing, addressing managing and mitigating risks and their sources, whether
developed in-house or acquired.
Traditionally, mission critical facilities have been willing and able to rely on centralized power plants owned and operated by utilities. These centralized utilities have controlled the transmission and distribution of power along with generating electricity at plants powered by coal, nuclear, natural gas, and hydro.
Over the last 30 years, the IT industry — data centers in particular — has seen the pendulum swing from centralized to decentralized and back again. Is it any wonder why mission critical operations are so driven by the latest buzzword of the day?
This latest generation regenerative electronic load (ELR) combines its high-efficiency programmable DC load with an equally efficient inverter (regenerative) output stage, returning up to 95% of the energy used in the test back to the AC grid.
Critical power environments often rely on highly trained professionals to maintain worker safety while protecting facility equipment. “Safety by design” describes a comprehensive approach, incorporating practical and feasible electrical distribution saftey designs.
In recent years, the IoT, ever-escalating data requirements, and ongoing cloud adoption have contributed to a shift away from traditional, enterprise data center facilities. Instead, many organizations are adopting new approaches — all of which afford numerous benefits but, at the same time, create critical challenges.
When calculating three-phase systems, electrical engineers frequently assume that the loads to be carried will be evenly balanced across coils. The problem is experience proves the opposite. Most of the systems we encounter have unbalanced loads.
This white paper explores the most beneficial applications for intelligent rack PDUs with remote power control, defines the key capabilities to require on intelligent rack PDUs with remote power control, and lists additional monitoring and security capabilities that should be considered when selecting intelligent rack PDUs for use in laboratories, in remote/edge sites or when colocating enterprise-owned equipment into MTDCs.
ABB enables smarter data center solutions for the company
