Electromagnetic interference (EMI) poses an increasing and often overlooked threat to data center uptime, driven by denser digital infrastructure and pervasive wireless technologies like 5G. This invisible force can disrupt server operations, cause data errors, and lead to hardware damage or cascading outages. While historically underestimated, especially concerning electromagnetic pulses (EMP), data center operators can mitigate EMI risks through effective shielding, such as Faraday cages, and by implementing robust power systems with EMI filtering and proper grounding. Careful cable management also plays a crucial role in preventing interference. AI
