The U.S. electric grid, composed of eight separate units, delivers power to millions of residential, commercial, and industrial users through more than 6 million miles of line. More than 3,000 organizations are charged with the design and management, many of which are in turn regulated by both federal and state agencies.
While this remarkable system of systems will continue to serve us well, it will face serious challenges in the next two decades that will demand the intelligent use of new technologies and the adoption of more appropriate regulatory.
Natural disasters used to be the only threat to the U.S. Power Grid, but today Intentional Electromagnetic Interference (IEMI) and High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) have created a new set of challenges and put reliable data center operations at risk.
It’s a problem all data center managers are facing today, which is why one of Data Center World’s Global Conference 2014 general sessions—Wednesday, April 30, in Las Vegas—is focusing on “Protecting Data Centers Against Intentional Electromagnetic Interference and High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse.”
This panel discussion, three international experts will discuss the effects of IEMI and HEMP and the most cost-effective and practical protective measures available.
Check out a complete schedule of events at the April 28-May 2 conference.
