SOMERSET, N.J., June 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Raritan, a leading provider of data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and rack power distribution solutions, will be joining its customers on data center panel discussions on both coasts next week.  The Raritan customers have designed and run some of the most innovative, dynamic and fastest-growing data centers — including data centers at Box, Nu Skin Enterprises, TripAdvisor, and VMware.

The panel discussions -- to be held at DatacenterDynamics-San Francisco and AFCOM Symposium-Boston -- will examine how to design rack power to make data centers reliable, responsive and future proofed; and, how best to manage a data center's overall infrastructure with DCIM to be resource efficient  and healthy. 

DatacenterDynamics -- Tuesday, June 17, 2014

Data center managers from Box, Nu Skin Enterprises, and VMware will weigh in on designing power chains to support higher-density loads in the "High Power Can Bring High Rewards" panel, scheduled at 2 pm in Hall 2.  

Best practices and considerations for deploying high power in data centers will be explored in this customer panel session, moderated by Jawahar Swaminathan, Director of Energy Management Solutions at Raritan.  Racks filled with 1U 'pizza box' servers, multiple blade server chassis, and network storage devices are driving higher demands for power.  Panelists will share how they have addressed cabinet loads upwards of 14kVA and more.  Whether renovating a current data center or building a new one, how you bring power to your racks will impact future capacity and growth.

AFCOM Symposium-Boston -- Wednesday, June 18, 2014
