Data Storage Power Supplies Overview
At Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, our engineers have been designing and developing power supply products for the data storage market for over 35 years. Our products have helped pave the way for advancements in numerous IT infrastructure data storage systems, including storage area network switches, network-attached storage appliances and RAID networked storage systems.
Trends/Opportunities
- The global data storage market is worth approximately $200 billion a year. Overall, enterprise storage systems terabyte shipments will increase to 54.5 extabytes, a 44.9% five-year CAGR.
- Efficiency and Density
- Blade Computing
- Digital Controls
- Data Center Consolidation
- Emerging System Architectures – Grid based and clustered storage solutions
- Modularity and Serverization of Storage
- Storage Optimization and Energy Efficiency – Virtualization, Data Deduplication, Thin Provisioning, Multi-tiering.
- Cloud Storage
- Emergence of SSD-based storage systems
- Emergence of SAS as a standard storage interconnect
- The rise of file-based storage and its impact on NAS
- Fiber channel over ethernet (FCoBE)
Given that data centers are such large users of power, with factors such as the ENERGY STAR program and the Climate Savers Computing Initiative forcing users to seek various means of reducing their energy demands, the key attribute of power supplies for IT infrastructure type data storage applications is conversion efficiency. Cost, reliability, acoustic noise and power density – and hence physical size – are also important attributes.
