Power Systems

APC

The APC Symmetra™ PX 100 features up to 100 kW of hot-scalable power, runtime, and optional power distribution modules, simplifying right-sizing of your data center. Easy-to-install 10 kW power modules provide 10 to 100 kW (N+0) or 10-90 kW (N+1) capacity, and powerful 9AH batteries with a five- to eight- year life expectancy protect the load. Symmetra PX 100 is built into standard APC NetShelter™ SX racks, aesthetically promoting quick installation and agility in a changing environment while minimizing the solution footprint to no more than 20.7 square feet. Four 100 kW modular PDU options with integrated maintenance bypass support 208 V, 480 V, and 600 V input and provide 208 V output to the load, and a fully rated subfeed breaker is included at the rear of the modular PDU. Suitable in small and medium data centers and high density zones of larger data centers, the Symmetra PX 100 delivers the efficient, modular, high-availability power protection that your business-critical applications require.

The APC Symmetra PX 100 KW is a world-class, high-efficiency power protection system designed to cost-effectively provide redundancy and high levels of availability in a two-rack footprint. The hot scalable Symmetra PX 100 provides up to 100 kW of modular power protection for 208V deployments, and hot-swappable long-life batteries reduce total cost of ownership.

Seamlessly integrating into today’s state-of-the-art data center designs, the Symmetra PX 100 kW is a cost-effective power protection system for your data center. Made up of hot-swappable modules — power, battery and intelligent management — this architecture can scale power and runtime in increments of 10 kW up to 100 kW as demand grows or when higher levels of availability are required in your data center. Self-diagnostic capabilities enhance the manageability of the Symmetra PX 100 kW and increase overall data center reliability.

The Symmetra PX family serves as the core power train that drives APC InfraStruxure systems for small, medium and large data centers. Standardized, factory-assembled modules mitigate the risk of human error during installation or routine maintenance procedures, and the Symmetra PX 100kW fits seamlessly onto the data center floor or in the back room. If a module requires replacement, a mean time to repair of less than 10 minutes enhances availability. In two standard APC NetShelter SX racks, the Symmetra PX 100kW delivers the high availability, extreme agility, and low TCO you have come to expect from the Symmetra PX family.

The APC Symmetra PX 100 KW with power distribution enhances the scalability of the Symmetra PX 100 UPS by combining it with the uniquely designed APC 100 kW Modular Power Distribution Unit with maintenance bypass. The 100 kW Modular PDU enables you to safely expand your power distribution system without hot work or scheduled downtime, and with its integrated maintenance bypass panel, you can perform routine maintenance on the UPS without removing power to the load.

Cooling Systems

APC

Uniflair Chilled Water (CW) products offer flexible cooling solutions perfect for racked and non-racked IT loads. The product line meets the diverse requirements of the data center environment to efficiently provide cooling at the room level. Uniflair CW offers a fully adaptable, assemble to order product line that provides variable fan technology and intelligent control for a more efficient solution.

Total cost of ownershipElectronically commutated fans provide the highest efficiency and reduce total power consumption by matching heat load of the data center. Careful sizing of heat exchanger coils yields a high sensible-to-total cooling ratio. Units were designed with compact dimensions to minimize cooling footprint and provide more space for IT equipment.

FlexibilityEquipped with the ability to control both equipment cooling as well as humidity control. Units are available in both upflow and downflow configurations with multiple airflow options for any type of cooling application. Advanced controls enable the operation of the unit to adapt to every type of installation.

AvailabilityDehumidification operates only when required and is achieved without a reduction in airflow rate, ensuring continuous and uniform air distribution. Microprocessor controls the modulating three-way (or optional two-way) chilled water valve to give accurate capacity control.

ServiceabilityAll front panels can be opened without the need for special tools and all normal maintenance operations can be carried out from the front of the unit. A push-button catch ensures easy access to the electrical panel and can be carried out with the unit in operation without disrupting airflow.

HP

The HP Modular Cooling System G2 is the next generation self-cooled rack for high density deployments in the datacenter. HP's new Bi-Directional cooling technology makes possible the simultaneous cooling of two racks with a single MCS G2 unit. The MCS G2 racks can cool up to 17.5kW per rack when cooling two racks or up to 35kW when cooling a single rack.

HP MCS G2 is designed to complement the existing conventional datacenter cooling by adding computing power without adding to the current heat load in the datacenter. In addition, by packing three times the KW capacity of a standard rack, the MCS G2 will extend considerably the life of your datacenter.

MCS has been designed to support a full rack load of blade servers, which, at their maximum configuration require a power load in excess of 35KW. The MCS unit will provide chilled air along the full height of the rack eliminating hotspots within the rack. Bi-Directional heat exchanger allows 2 racks to be cooled simultaneously with loads of up to 17.5kW in each rack or a single rack with up to 35kW. All HP server platform support - MCS G2 supports ProLiant, BladeSystem, Integrity, HP 9000 and StorageWorks from HP as well as select third party equipment.
