A system outputs data for performing an operation. The system confirms an identity of a device on which to perform the operation by receiving an input from the device and verifying that the input matches a known identifying information of the device. The system allows the operation to be performed on the device after confirming the identity of the device. The system receives feedback from a monitoring system that monitors states of a plurality of devices including the device, including a state of the device after the operation is performed on the device. The system determines whether the state of the device received in the feedback matches an expected state of the device after the operation is performed on the device. The system outputs data for performing a next operation after determining that the state of the device received in the feedback matches the expected state of the device.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described that enable the recovery of stranded power in a data center. For example, a power distribution system for recovering stranded power in a data center includes a first power distribution unit (PDU), a first busway segment that is operable to electrically connect the first PDU to a first set of server racks in a first row of server racks, a second busway segment that is operable to electrically connect the first PDU to a second set of server racks in a second row of server racks, a second PDU, a third busway segment that is operable to electrically connect the second PDU to a third set of server racks in a third row of server racks, and a fourth busway segment that is operable to electrically connect the second PDU to a fourth set of server racks in the second row of server racks.

Data center stranded power recovery design

The formulation of multiple physical flowpaths that fit within a physical space. The formation of physical flowpaths is done by a 3-D printer using a representation of that flowpath that is within a utility flowpath model. The flowpaths are represented in the utility flowpath model so that there is high certainty that the respective physical flowpaths will actual fit into a physical space even if space is limited. Furthermore, the 3-D printing of those physical flowpaths ensures high precision in formulating the physical flowpaths to match the utility flowpath representation.
