Eaton's
Powerware® BladeUPS™, the industry’s most energy efficient, rack-based
uninterruptible power system (UPS) is designed and optimized for today’s
high-powered blade servers and high-density computing environments. The
Powerware BladeUPS is the latest product in Eaton’s series of
Powerware-branded, rack-based solutions that also include enclosures and
accessories, along with a complete line of remote monitoring and power-quality
equipment. The three-phase system delivers industry-leading energy efficiency,
scalability and flexibility.
The
Powerware BladeUPS reflects Eaton’s commitment to provide award-winning
products that address the challenges of designing and managing high-density
data centers. The Powerware BladeUPS normally operates at an industry-leading
97 percent efficiency and at less than 30 percent load, where customers would
expect efficiency to be much lower, this UPS is more efficient than
competitors’ modular products at full load.
These
gains quickly translate into tens of thousands of dollars. For example,
assuming a utility rate of 10 cents per kWh, a 60 kW N+1 redundant
configuration would save more than $30,000 in five years and the savings
compound with data center size.
