Siemens: New busbar trunking system enables higher energy efficiency for data centers of tomorrow

Siemens: New busbar trunking system enables higher energy efficiency for data centers of tomorrow

At this year’s Light+Building, Siemens Smart Infrastructure is introducing LData, a busbar trunking system specially designed for data centers wanting to improve their efficiency, availability and adaptability. The more internet traffic, mobile users as well as Internet of Things connections increase, the more data has to be processed. That is why high-performance data centers are emerging as the backbone of a digital society. These data centers must offer the highest degree of availability to protect critical data as well as business-critical applications and industrial processes.
