As the data center market continues to grow, the trend to improve efficiency,
increase reliability, decrease the footprint for critical infrastructure, and reduce
capital costs continues to be a focus for data center engineers. In years
past, many of these goals were compromised to achieve others. As reliability
increased, so did infrastructure costs. Increased efficiency resulted in
decreased reliability, as the higher-efficiency UPS systems typically operated
in a line-interactive mode (economy mode).
