		<description><![CDATA[Written by Steven Sapp, Ritu Sodhi and Sampat Shekhawat
In a typical data center, less than half of the power consumption goes into the computing function. Consequently, data-center operators are looking at every opportunity to improve power conversion and distribution efficiency, including eliminating the number of conversion stages through the distribution of high voltage direct-current sources.
