In one embodiment, a method includes determining if a power load requirement associated with a server arrangement is below a threshold. The server arrangement includes at least a first power supply and a second power supply, as well as a capacitor arrangement. The method also includes providing power to the server arrangement using the first power supply and not the second power supply when it is determined that the power load requirement is below the threshold, and providing the power to the server arrangement using the first power supply and the second power supply when it is determined that the power load requirement is not below the threshold.
