Data CentersPower System Design
At Yotta 2025 in Las Vegas, our founder Nina Sadighi joined an incredible panel alongside Nancy Novak (Compass Datacenters), Peter Gross, Sean James (Microsoft), and Jim Simonelli (Schneider Electric) to tackle one of the industry's hottest topics.
Key themes:
- Power as the new real estate — Access to reliable energy is now the gating factor for site selection and growth.
- The density challenge — Racks pushing 40–100 kW are quickly becoming the norm, changing how we think about risk, redundancy, and cooling.
- Storage as a core asset — UPS systems are evolving far beyond backup, supporting peak shaving, load shaping, and renewable integration.
- Heat rejection as the silent bottleneck — At these densities, cooling is just as critical as power.
The takeaway: addressing data center growth requires integrated strategies across power, density, storage, and cooling — all working together.
