Case Study: Global Chip Manufacturing Company achieves optimized data center power utilization and improved forecasting with QTS Realty Trust Power Analytics

QTS Service Delivery Platform (SDP) drives engineering decisions for global chip manufacturer

A global semiconductor manufacturer running a high-performance grid in a flagship southeast data center operates two 1 MW data halls with extremely dense racks (up to 30 kW/rack). They needed to keep power utilization under an 80% threshold but lacked rack-level visibility from weekly reports, which led to costly precautionary power purchases, difficulty identifying oversubscribed racks, and a risk of deployment delays due to cabling and layout constraints.

By deploying QTS Service Delivery Platform’s Power Analytics the customer gained real-time, rack-level power metrics, 3D floor layouts, mobile access and proactive alerts at the 80% threshold. This enabled remote rebalancing and precise provisioning to avoid interruptions, eliminated unnecessary power buys, supported on-time equipment deployments, improved forecasting, and now drives daily engineering decisions that optimize utilization and lower costs.
