Norelco ensures data center functionality

"When you choose Norelco, you are not only investing in equipment, but also investing in peace of mind that lasts throughout the entire life cycle of the equipment," says Ari Hämäläinen, CEO of Norelco, about his company's products and services.

A power outage in a data center can cause significant financial losses, undermine customer trust and even lead to violations of legal requirements. Therefore, power distribution must be primarily reliable so that operations are not interrupted unexpectedly. It must also be safe to protect both equipment and people.

In addition, power distribution must be flexible to adapt to the growing and changing needs of data centers. Finally, it must be sustainable to support environmental goals and reduce the life cycle costs of the entire system.
