Eaton provides power to rely on
E
fficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly UPS systems for data centre
applications from 8kVA
to 1100kVA were the central focus for Eaton at this year’s Data Centre World Conference and Expo, held at the Olympia Exhibition Centre, London from 2 to 3 March.
Alongside the company’s enclosure-based power distribution units (ePDUs), 9395 UPS, BladeUPS products, AC busbar systems and protection products, Eaton also chose this exhibition to enhance market awareness of its heat containment system, which it offers following its recent acquisition of Wright Line, a developer of customised enclosures, rack systems and airflow management systems. Key to Eaton’s UPS solutions is energy advantage architecture
(EAA), including optimised output power factor, which reduces the need to oversize, and the incorporation of advanced battery management, which can significantly extend battery life. Many models also support the energy saver system (ESS) and variable module management system (VMMS), which is said to be able to automatically optimise UPS operation to reach up to 99 per cent efficiency; even when operating at lighter loads and without compromising on reliability. In addition, all Eaton UPS systems combine compact construction with a small footprint, allowing them to make the best possible use of valuable data centre space.
ECA-approved
Several of the units* within the Eaton 9395 range of UPS
systems (available with ratings from 225kVA to 1100kVA) are now approved for the UK’s Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) scheme. This means that users can offset, against tax, the whole cost of purchasing these units in the year that they are purchased. Eaton 9395 UPS systems also offer a wide range of operational benefits and exceptional total harmonic distortion performance, which is achieved without the use of inherently inefficient filters. Also on show was the BladeUPS’s which are designed to provide a flexible power solution, optimised for high density blade servers, and supply 12kW of power in just 6U of rack space.
In addition to its UPS’s Eaton ePDUs offer a versatile option to bring power up to the server power outlet, combining smart power management facilities and
optional metering with individual protection for branch circuits. The integration of Wright Line products with Eaton’s Electrical Sector enables the company to offer a significantly wider and more robust range of solutions to help IT professionals and date centre managers meet the many challenges associated with modern data centres. The new enclosure and air-management portfolio complements Eaton’s existing UPS and power distribution offering and will provide the company’s customers with enhanced solutions that effectively address key issues in areas that include energy efficiency, thermal management and capital deployment.
To complement its range of UPS products, Eaton also offers AC busbar systems and protection products that are said to provide safe, convenient and efficient solutions for the distribution of AC power not only to the UPS systems themselves, but also to ancillary services including lighting, heating and air conditioning.
Advice and guidance
Throughout the conference and exhibition, experts from Eaton were on hand to provide visitors to the stand with advice and guidance on selecting solutions for specific applications, with the emphasis on combining energy efficiency with versatility, durability and value for money.
* Eaton 9395 UPS systems with the following ratings are approved for the ECA Scheme: 275kVA, 550kVA, 675kVA, 825kVA and 1100kVA.
