VoltServer's The Future of Power Podcast
Mike Starego, Principal Engineer, recently joined VoltServer's The Future of Power Podcast to discuss how fault managed power (FMP) is reshaping data center design. In this episode, Mike shared his perspective on the unique power challenges high-density data centers present, and how safety, constructability, and efficiency are critical considerations in modern MEP solutions.
"We're deep within the constructability of these data centers rather than just putting lines on paper...the physical fit and the safety of the installation, and the use, for that matter, is paramount for us," Mike said.
The episode revisits findings from a co-authored white paper, A Comparison of Fault Managed Power and Traditional AC Distribution in High Performance Data Centers, and highlights how evolving technologies, especially with the rise of AI, are driving demand for more scalable and safer power solutions.
