Data Center Power Needs Will Continue to Increase
Data centers have been facing a conundrum for the past several years. On one hand, they must supply services to a rapidly increasing number of consumers, while the technology those consumers use becomes exponentially more complex and demanding.

If there are any CE Mark Directives that apply to a given product, then that product is absolutely required, by law, to be CE-compliant in order to sell it into the EEA. That is why the CE marking is an absolute must-have for data center lifts. The Safety of Machinery directive applies to all manner of devices that would be used to handle servers—whether they are in a data center or not. For electric […]
