Data centre operators witness continuous advances in technology and new directives for dealing with climate change and environmental emissions all of which are capable of having a major impact on the operation. UPSL has developed a portfolio of innovative and energy efficient three-phase, modular rack mounted and standalone transformerless UPS solutions specifically designed to support today s dynamic data centre infrastructure. UPSL s PowerWAVE products are globally recognised for their innovation and technology, and are amongst the class-leaders in terms of system reliability, efficiency, availability, scalability and flexibility using less energy, generating less CO 2, saving valuable floor space and achieving significant total cost of ownership (TCO) savings. If you run a data centre offering the highest levels of availability, you understand the vital role your UPS system provides in keeping your critical load supported. As a result, the UPS reliability is also a key consideration. The fragility of the UK s energy infrastructure demonstrates the importance of choosing a power protection partner whose product features focus on maximising system uptime. UPSL s Decentralised Parallel Architecture (DPA ): Assures exceptional availability and maximum uptime delivering Six nines ( %) availability. Redundancy: Systems are able to offer a N+1 architecture, based on parallelable plug-and-play modules providing full power supply to the load, even if one module fails. No single point of failure: Redundant system design and true hot-swap modularity removes the risk of system failure by providing each module, in a parallel UPS system, its own set of separately fused paralleled strings of batteries. Quick and simple: Power upgrade or repair by hot swapping modules while the UPS is online maximises availability and simplifies system upgrades. Tier IV compliant: UPSL is able to offer a range of options suitable for all data centre applications, fully compatible with all tier configurations in accordance with The Uptime Institute classification code.

UPSL invests heavily in the continuous training of its service personnel, to maintain its technical expertise and excellent service delivery and ensuring its customers receive the very best service experience available. Uninterruptible Power Supplies Ltd s quality of service is certified to BSI EN ISO 9001:2008 for its quality management, ISO for its environmental management and OHSAS for its health & safety management, as well as being recognised as an Investor in People. Driven by rising costs and government legislation, the efficiency of ICT systems within the data centre environment has grown to become one of the most important performance factors in the specification and selection of a UPS system. UPSL s product range reflects this and is centred around maximising energy efficiency. ECA approved: The addition of the PowerWAVE 9000DPA means the total cost of the purchase price can be offset against taxable profits (see ECA section). Highly efficient: High operating efficiency across a wide load range (94% to 96% efficiency from 25% partial load to 100% full load) reduces system running costs and site air conditioning costs, reducing system carbon footprint. Reduced running costs: Near unity input power factor at partial and full loads 100% load). Low input harmonic distortion: UPSL is able to offer a THDi of less than 3%.

But simply providing protection for conditions prevailing today is no longer acceptable. Data centre operators investing in a UPS system should expect their outlay to buy them security for the working life of the data centre installation. The answer to this question comes from modular UPS technology. A truly modular UPS comprises a set of entirely independent UPS modules that, operating in parallel, provide the capacity demanded by the critical load. UPSL s systems, designed specifically for data centre applications, offer true hot-swap modularity and enable power to be added in cost-effective incremental steps as power requirements grow, thus right-sizing the UPS to the actual critical load and without increasing the footprint or removing redundancy. Fully parallelable: UPSL offers modular systems parallelable up to 1.5MVA. UPSL s PowerWAVE product range provides one of the lowest total cost of ownerships in the industry by delivering the highest levels of energy efficiency, scalable flexibility and ergonomic design, which in turn enables simple and cost effective serviceability. The modular approach: Modularity and rightsizing make it possible to invest only for the functionality required for the current load requirement, meaning additional up-front costs for capital equipment are minimised. True efficiency: UPSL systems benefit from efficiency savings in operational costs and energy bills by utilising true online double conversion, combined with a certified efficiency rating of 96%. Cost-effective additions: UPSL s Hot-swappable modules allow additional capacity to be added without any new electrical work. Less heat: High levels of efficiency also minimises additional costs related to cooling requirements further reducing energy bills. ECA approved: The addition of UPSL s PowerWAVE 9000DPA means the total cost of the purchase price can be offset against taxable profits (see ECA section). Hot-Swappable Modularity : Provides total flexibility ensuring the UPS can be rightsized to the critical load at initial installation, reducing initial costs, optimising operating efficiency and reducing the total cost of ownership. Reduced MTTR: Online Hot-swap modules offer the opportunity to significantly reduce mean time to repair (MTTR) and simplifies system power upgrades. True future proof installation: Offering unique scalability and an ability to supply the most demanding of modern loads.

The PowerWAVE 8000DPA and 9000DPA are now Carbon Trust ECA listed products. Small footprint The PowerWAVE range offers class-leading power density through its flagship data centre UPS system, the PowerWAVE 9000DPA. The ECA accepted product significantly minimises the floor space required to accommodate the system and offers one of the smallest physical footprints in the data centre industry. High density: The PowerWAVE 9000DPA delivers a power density of up to 342kW/m 2. Save on valuable space: UPSL s product portfolio allows for substantial and valuable space savings even at the highest power ratings. The need for qualifying organisations to reduce their energy usage is highlighted by the Government s Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency Scheme, or CRC. The scheme rewards qualifying participants who perform well, while penalising those who do badly, in both financial and publicity terms. Developments in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) technology provide one way of achieving sustainable energy savings. Such efficiency improvements are possible through selection of suitable UPS topology and by carefully sizing the UPS system to match its critical load. One approach is to use systems based on UPSL s advanced modular topology, which allows UPS capacity to be closely matched, or right sized, to the critical load size. Modular UPS capacity can easily be incremented or decremented to efficiently match changing load requirements throughout the life of the installation a sustainable efficiency solution.

7 The solution we chose saved us having to spend a large amount of capital on power protection on day one and yet gave us the high availability our customers demand. Crucially, however, it is also truly modular, giving us the flexibility to increase capacity and grow the system in-line with our changing requirements. We looked at other solutions but didn t find any as suitable as this. Nick Williams, Co-Founder & Director, Sleek Networks UPSL came with a very competitive quote and an excellent reputation for support and service. After looking at the PowerWAVE 9000DPA it was clear it offered the best solution. It had the N+1 redundancy we wanted and with its modular technology it provided the flexibility to expand the system in line with our growth, eliminating unnecessary capital expenditure at the outset and avoiding excessive energy costs. Conleth McCallan, Managing Director, Datanet End-to-end solution UPSL also offers a comprehensive range of standby diesel generators and other complimentary ancillary products such as batteries, switchgear and power conditioning equipment to build a complete, fully matched power protection solution for your data centre ensuring a true, no-break supply in the event of a critical power failure. In addition, UPSL offers the most comprehensive and cost-effective service solutions available ensuring the UPS, generator, batteries and other complimentary products of your power protection system are expertly maintained on a regular basis and are always ready and able to support your critical load.
