A Power
Array™ is a single unit composed of modular
components. This modular architecture provides the foundation
for building and scaling high availability power systems
with a flexible range of power capacity. (illustration)
Despite
these advances in storage and processing availability, the
mid-sized power protection industry has been populated with
only legacy UPSs - centralized box-type UPSs that create
multiple single points of failure. These UPSs offer little
in the way of redundancy and scalability.
|
| According
to one frustrated director of the Uninterruptable Uptime Users
Group (UUUG), "a single legacy UPS failure can wipe out three
years worth of carefully planned and controlled systems uptime."

But that all changes, with an exciting proven power protection
technology from APC: Power Array is a category of power protection
system designed by APC to meet today's customer demand for
scalable and highly available power solutions. |

Power Array™
redundancy
reduces the risk of systems downtime. By using an N+1 redundant
Power Array, customers ensure maximum uptime and near-continuous
systems availability.

Power
Array™scalability
protects your investment in power protection by enabling expansion
or reconfiguration simply by adding or removing modules. Scalable
runtime allows extended back-up time with the addition of
Battery Modules. Scalable power capacity enables you to pay
as you grow by adding Power Modules.

Power Array™
serviceability
decreases the cost of systems ownership. Modular and hot-swappable
components make maintenance simple.
Power Array™manageability
means you can use APC's existing software and accessories
to monitor and control your power and environment, as well
as to shut down multiple servers and reboot individual locked
up machines.
