Keep the data flowing with data center lightning protection

Reduce downtime and minimize disruptions to your systems

In a post-COVID-19 world, the general public’s reliance on digital infrastructure, such as data centers, has grown exponentially. Whether it’s for entertainment via social media networks, business-related telecommunications, or energy and public health sectors, data centers ensure a constant flow of information and crucial data memory services.

But just as the demand for these electrical systems has grown, so have the risks against them. Transient voltage threats are ever present as digital infrastructure expands rapidly, yet industry regulations struggle to keep pace, while extreme weather events like lightning strikes increase due to climate change.

Are your data centers protected? When you work with DEHN, the answer can be a confident, resounding yes.

We specialize in the development of tailored power quality protection, such as a lightning protection system, for the data center industry. Ensure the electrical components within your data centers are protected from damage and outages related to a lightning strike or transient surge.

Transient voltage damage: A data disaster waiting to happen

No access to data or, worse even, data loss is a nightmare scenario for every data center operator and data user alike. 

Unfortunately, these entirely electric systems are susceptible to irreversible damage if not properly protected against both internal and external electrical threats. Fires from lightning strikes, power failure, network quality issues, overheating, and multi-system damage from an internal overvoltage are all potential pitfalls of transient voltage events.

A data center is more than a building - it’s a complex network of interconnected electrical subsystems that must be available 24/7/365 to maintain the flow of digital information and the country’s newly automated and digital operations.

If your data center is faced with costly repairs, unexpected downtime, or even loss of data, it could be detrimental to your overall growth and success as a business. All of these consequences of power quality disturbances can hinder your ability to fulfill contractual obligations, meet and exceed customer expectations, and attain your own growth and financial goals and standards.

Don’t gamble with your data – opt for certainty with a transient voltage protection concept that will maximize system performance and reliability while minimizing the risk of power quality disruptions across the board.

With more than 100 years of global experience in the industry, DEHN is prepared to kick off a lasting partnership that starts with identifying the risks to your specific data center operations to implement a strategic surge and lightning protection plan.

Byte-sized security for data center systems

From the physical structure of the data center to the internal server racks and their memory systems, every component within your data center is vulnerable to transient voltage fluctuations. In the data center industry, it’s not only a matter of preventing property damage to data center buildings and preserving power quality to reduce the risk of power outages and data loss, but also of eliminating risks to human life.

DEHN provides proactive solutions for the following types of data center facilities:

  • Onsite data centers
  • Colocation facilities
  • Hyperscale data centers
  • Edge data centers

Within the data center industry, our solutions also extend to specific systems and individual components such as computers, data storage drives, network equipment, servers, and server racks.

Prevent power peril with proven lightning protection solutions

Protecting your data access and data flow is a proactive process. Retroactively installing lightning protection systems won’t do much to address systems that are already damaged or retrieve lost data. Our approach prevents this damage from happening in the first place.

At DEHN, we ensure all of our transient voltage solutions are compliant with industry standards, such as NFPA 780. Our approach is a holistic one that combines grounding systems, equipotential bonding, external lightning protection systems, and surge protection devices, to create a comprehensive power quality assurance solution.

Our recommended products for the data center industry include:

  • DEHNguard
  • BLITZDUCTORconnect
  • DEHNrecord
  • DEHNpatch
  • DEHNrail
  • Equipotential bonding bar
