Chart Introducing the Powerware BladeUPS uninterruptible power system:Designed specifically for high-density computing environments, the Powerware BladeUPS delivers 12 kW of efficient, reliable power in only 6U of standard rack space, including batteries. Expand capacity by combining 12 kW modules in a building block fashion to deliver 60 kW of redundant backup power from a single rack enclosure. This powerful configuration delivers higher power density than competitive, modular solutions, while dissipating one-third of the heat. The standard internal batteries provide needed zero interruption time ride-through power until an auxiliary power source takes over or systems are gracefully shut down. Extend runtime up to 34 minutes at full load (or 76 minutes at half load) with Extended Battery Modules (EBMs). Power protection for:
High-density computing environments demand more power:Today, the management of a data center or network operations center places you under the intense pressure to reduce costs while dealing with inescapable operational realities: Expanding power demands. The blade servers that are satisfying business demands can also raise the demands for power consumption in the same footprint. Rack power requirements that were once at 60 watts per U may now have to be delivered at levels up to 600 watts per U with redundant power supplies. Increasing power costs. Utility rates have a common recurrence. They always go up. IDC research reports that energy costs represent a dominant influence on IT spending (IDC U.S. Market Watch Survey, Q2 2006, September 7, 2006). Most organizations are researching and developing plans for the selection of new data center sites based on the proximity of affordable power facilities. The need for more cost-effective power solutions is confirmed in a recent Gartner research report. Power will be 50% of data center operational costs (Gartner RAS Core Research, August 18, 2006). Excessive heat. Blade servers generate a lot of heat–translating into a high demand for additional energy. A fully loaded rack of blade servers can use close to 30kW of power. This equals over 100,000 BTU/hr in heat generation that requires cooling–wasted heat that is not utilized in any way. Since cooling adds huge costs to data center operations, IT organizations are forced to increase their power efficiency to counteract the inefficient heat and cooling problems. If you manage, engineer, or plan the present and future of a data center or network operations center, you are already aware of these critical issues and their impact on operations. Your challenge is to make decisions that provide efficient power protection and distribution for growing loads, while managing the heat. Blade UPS is ready to help you with these challenges. Reduce energy costs with high efficiency:The Powerware BladeUPS delivers an outstanding, industry-leading 97 percent efficiency in normal operation. Even at <50% load, where efficiency is typically much lower, this UPS performs more efficiently than competitors’ modular products at full load. Even small increases in efficiency can quickly translate into thousands of dollars. The example compares annual and five-year energy costs for the Powerware BladeUPS and a competitor’s solution. It’s easy to see that the Powerware BladeUPS pays for itself through energy and cooling savings alone. In addition to dramatic cost savings, high system efficiency extends battery runtimes and produces cooler operating conditions within the UPS, extending the life of components and increasing overall reliability and performance. Example of the Benefits of Blade UPS systems:
* Cooling savings based on industry calculation of cooling costs per kW of power costs. Reduce cooling costs with lower heat dissipationThe high-efficiency Powerware BladeUPS reduces the power requirements for the data center. In the example shown, the Powerware BladeUPS reduces energy costs by an average of $273 per month. In addition, the high efficiency of a Powerware BladeUPS reduces overall air conditioning needs by more than one third, multiply that with a reduction in cooling costs by one-third and utility bills are further decreased by an additional $246 per month. The savings compound with the data center size and the number of UPS products. The low heat dissipation means this UPS can be located close to equipment racks without a concern for creating hot spots in the data center.
The Powerware BladeUPS remains cool even in a data center full of servers. Meet current and changing requirements with modular architecture:The building block of the Powerware BladeUPS system is a 6U rackmount module that provides 12 kW of backup power protection. The system expands easily to provide maximum results. As your data center grows, the system’s modularity plays a key role in optimizing your capital planning and deployment. Using the patented and field-proven Powerware Hot Sync® paralleling technology, up to six Powerware BladeUPS modules can be paralleled for extra capacity or redundancy, providing 60 kW of redundant backup power protection in one 19" rack. Patented load-sharing control intelligently distributes the workload among modules without requiring direct synchronization links among them. Any module can provide backup support for any other, with no interruption or downtime. For instance, in a redundant system you could perform full maintenance on any module without any interruption of conditioned power to the protected IT equipment.
Extraordinarily flexible:The Powerware BladeUPS is designed to be extraordinarily flexible — configured as a single module or multi-module system (up to six modules) in a standard 19” rack enclosure. The modular design enables you to deploy just the right amount of backup protection at the right price for your current needs, and expand later whenever needed. Also, the Powerware BladeUPS is the most scalable backup power protection solution of its kind, scaling easily from 12 kW to 60 kW, N+1 redundant, in a standard 19” rack enclosure. Easily set up with simple parallel configuration changes:The Powerware BladeUPS is easy to install, configure, and deploy— and easy to expand later. To link multiple Powerware BladeUPS modules into a parallel configuration, all you need is a Powerware BladeUPS Parallel Bar—a simple kit installed in the bottom of the rack and on the back rail. IT personnel can then simply plug additional modules into the parallel bus bar. The system is intelligent, so it automatically detects paralleled modules and fully configures itself for parallel operations.
Adding modules is a simple plug-and-power procedure for IT personnel with safety approved connectors. Administrators can monitor and manage the Powerware BladeUPS using the unit's LCD panel or remote monitoring software. The UPS provides data for the entire multi-module system, as well as the individual module. In addition, a module working in a parallel configuration can be separated at any time and re-deployed as a stand-alone module to meet a data center's changing requirements. Blade UPS can Easily support 6 modules at any given time:
BladeUPS Parallel Bar easily connecting up to six modules in parallel. The brightly backlit 2.6" LCD shows parameters of the system or a module.
Save space with high power density UPS:The Powerware BladeUPS offers the smallest footprint of any UPS in its class — double the power density of any other UPS system on the market. This compact design leaves more space for IT equipment in the rack and data center.   Expedite deployment with flexible installation optionsThe Powerware BladeUPS can be deployed in a variety of system architectures to support the specific requirement of your computer room or data center, and to support the desired level of redundancy (Tier I through Tier IV, as defined by the Uptime Institute). Centralized power protection for small computer rooms. Start with one 12 kW module and expand to 60 kW with N+1 redundancy in single 19” rack enclosure. Zone power protection for mid-sized computer rooms. Deploy 60 kW (N+1) in a 19” rack to protect a row of IT equipment racks. Distributed power protection. Distribute 12 kW modules to protect one to three racks — thereby achieving zero footprint power protection. Hybrid power protection. Stronger redundancy of power protection for equipment racks containing critical IT equipment.
With the flexibility to deploy and re-deploy a Powerware BladeUPS either in single or parallel systems — data center managers can tailor power protection to adapt to changing needs, often without the need for an electrician or service technician. Blade UPS also offers an assortment of plug-and-play power distribution accessories with various input and output connections to distribute power from the Powerware BladeUPS to rack power strips or directly to high-power servers. You can choose from distribution designs with or without monitoring capability, for redundant or non-redundant applications spanning from zero U to full rack height.
