Precision Validation of Next Generation Data Center Components
Data centers support the world’s most demanding applications, from AI to hyperscale cloud infrastructure. From utility input to server power rails, cooling systems, and high-speed optical links, Yokogawa helps engineers validate efficiency, reliability, and thermal performance in modern AI and hyperscale data centers.
Yokogawa provides precise, reliable end-to-end measurement solutions that help data centers ensure clean, reliable, and efficient power delivery from the utility grid through backup systems, distribution, server electronics, and cooling.
The Infrastructure Challenges
Understanding the Modern Data Center
At a system level, data centers operate across two primary engineering domains:
- Power Infrastructure - delivering and managing energy from the grid to compute systems, including cooling distribution units CDUs, CPUs, chillers and density thermal infrastructure
- Communication Infrastructure - enabling high-speed connectivity within and between servers through advanced networking, fiber-optic interconnects, cloud infrastructure and AI driven computer architectures
These domains are tightly coupled. Changes in compute workload directly impact power demand, including the energy required to support cooling systems, energy efficiency and overall data center resiliency.
