Integrated Connectivity for Efficient Data Centre Power Monitoring

With increasing density, AI workloads, and complexity across data centre operations, Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) has become mission-critical. Unplanned downtime is not an option—yet without real-time monitoring visibility into electrical systems like substations, UPS, switchgear, and HVAC, operational risks grow and response times suffer.

Modern data centres are under increasing pressure to maintain low PUE levels due to rising power demands. Achieving always-on power delivery requires intelligent and resilient connectivity across data centre infrastructure (DCI) that keeps energy systems continuously in sync.

Moxa’s industrial-grade networking solutions deliver reliable, secure, and scalable communications—keeping your power systems connected, efficient, and protected.
