With data growth creating a tsunami of bits and bytes, the evolving Data Center universe will not be slowing down any time soon. The demands of this evolution may be driving you to a new build, or perhaps strengthening an existing location. In either scenario, the many moving pieces of managing a Data Center project can quickly become overwhelming. Data Center project management experts discuss everything from cost estimates to vendor selection to meeting deadlines, and more.
We will discuss options for building out your critical infrastructure to support the rising need of increased capacities in Healthcare facilities. This will include Power and Cooling solutions for those building Coronavirus testing areas and operational improvements for insights into the status of critical facilities.
As the world adjusts to the demands of a “New Normal”, those building and operating Critical Infrastructure are not immune to the required changes – and gaps in visibility caused by these changes. But even before the Coronavirus, monitoring the powering and cooling of a facility had evolved past ‘a Tech hoofing to check-out an alarm’.
In this episode, Robert Leake is joined by DVL's John Yacina (Power Systems Sales Manager). Powering Enterprise-grade Data Centers provide the foundation that your Operations are built upon and poses questions from security to sustainability to those Teams. You want reliable power supporting your critical loads, and in this podcast we’ll provide a better understanding to achieve that goal through Data Center Tier Structures and how they apply to you, and more.
Potential stresses to your cooling systems are discussed. Improperly conditioned facilities can result in a myriad of problems from IT hardware malfunctions to loss of employee productivity. Properly maintaining this infrastructure ensures operation at the highest possible reliability level. Robert Leake is joined by DVL's Sanja Motz (Vice President of Service Operations) , Michael Hagan (Director of Thermal Services), and Matthew Hudspeth (Thermal Operations Lead Technician).
Battery Technologies continue to adapt to the world’s demand for more power. In Critical Facilities, these adaptations have been met with a mix of speculation and resistance. The Myths created from these perspectives are significantly limiting opportunities to recognize numerous benefits. In this episode of the DVL Power Hour, we address the real pros and cons of battery technologies. Host Robert Leake is joined by Sean Delaney from DVL's Philadelphia office.
For this episode, Robert Leake (DVL's Director of Marketing) is joined by George Samson, (DVL's Senior Territory Director). Discussion focuses on Power Distribution of Critical Infrastructure, and how it's becoming a multifaceted portion of the business impacting Facilities and IT. Both sides of the organization agree their goals include driving efficiencies, Little-to-No Downtime, and configuring maintainability. But how can these be achieved with a cost-effective impact to your Budget? PLEA...
For this episode, Robert Leake (DVL's Director of Marketing) is joined by Bob Gusciora, P.E., (DVL's President of Strategic Account Services division). Discussion focuses on what makes up a “rock solid” electrical control system, especially when considering an upgrade to your facility Switchgear. They'll start at the programmable logic controller (PLC), and work their way through the variables to consider when upgrading this critical piece of infrastructure. For more information, visit: ...
In this 2025 "clip show", we take a look back at our top moments and lessons learned from this year's episodes. Here we showcase clips featuring the following guests: Jim Greene (Vertiv)Greg Stover (Vertiv)Mike Murray (Generac Industrial Energy)Tim Pulliam (Generac)Anthony Menicucci, PhD, (University of New Mexico, Sandia National Labs)Jason Gott (Murphy Company)Josh Hunt (DVL Group)Gary Hill (DVL Group)
Join us when we welcome Anthony Menicucci, PhD, Consulting Engineer at Sandia National Labs, to discuss "FLOPS" Total Usage Effectiveness, also known as "FTUE". Dr. Menicucci is one of the creators of this new energy usage metric, which is a basis to assess computing energy usage efficiency relative to cooling power usage - specific to data centers using high-performance computing. We'll discuss: The gaps in current efficiency measurements,Variables within the calculations of FTUE,Results of ...
As electric vehicle adoption accelerates, the demand for reliable high-performance charging solutions is greater than ever. Businesses, commercial properties, and fleet operators need solutions that can handle high-traffic, multi-vehicle fast charging without compromising efficiency or reliability. Join us as we unveil the DVL end-to-end Commercial EV Charging solution, integrating the equipment you’ll need, including switchgear, power distribution, energy storage, and, most importantly, the...
With rising power demands and increasing strain on the US power grid, commercial and industrial facilities face unprecedented energy challenges to their operations. Microgrids offer a smarter, more resilient solution, providing energy independence, cost savings, and enhanced reliability. Join us as we sit down with Mike Murray, Director of Microgrid Solutions at Generac Industrial Energy. We’ll be breaking down the fundamentals of microgrids and exploring how businesses can leverage them for...
While much is being said about liquid cooling’s rise in popularity thanks to AI’s unprecedented rack densities, power management is an equally important part of the equation. As we welcome to the Power Hour Webinar, Jim Greene, Director of AC Power Technical Sales at Vertiv, we’ll examine the impacts AI has on power across your critical infrastructure, including why mechanical loads now require the benefits (and peace of mind) behind UPSs and conditioned power. Other essential points of disc...
