Why a single source supplier?
• Overcome misconceptions of
manufacturers
• Benefits of project management
• Risk management
• Quick response for project
fluctuations

•
Being vintage is not always a good thing
• Aging equipment
• Low efficiency and power cooling
• Inability to scale or adapt to new technologies
• Regulatory compliance
And that’s not all…what about disaster recovery,
security, speed to deploy, etc…

Energy efficient UPSs can help grow revenue
Implement containment and economizer technologies
• Hot or cold aisle containment is possible
depending on application
• Increases overall efficiency of data center
• Higher inlet temperatures
• More time spent in economizer modes
• Extends capacity of existing cooling plant
• Allows for higher density deployments
Update power distribution systems
• Eliminate or upgrade
transformers
• Update components in
distribution systems
• Improve rack power distribution
• Conduct power system, harmonic
and coordination studies
• Match redundancy of electrical
architecture to application need
Consider robust monitoring & operations
• Convergence of monitoring and management to drive energy efficiency, asset
management and enhanced IT workflows
• Energy can’t be managed if it’s not measured
• Various metering solutions can do simple energy management through transient
detection
• Imbed in distribution equipment or stand alone
Enhance electrical safety and regulatory compliance
Technology
• OSHA – Arc Flash and Safety
• IEC – Harmonics to grid
• EU Code of Conduct – UPS Efficiency
Environmental
• Carbon Tax
• Energy Star – UPS and data centers
• LEED
• OSHPD
In many countries, violation is penalized and
compliance rewards are financial
Food for thought…
• Best practices can be applied across all data
centers
• An older infrastructure can be improved - new
white papers explain how:
1. Top reasons to upgrade vintage data
centers
