Flexible and modular solution for IT rooms

 
 

Value proposition


Main Drivers

  • Business resilience to secure and increase revenues.
  • Operational efficiency.
  • Site ability to follow high rate evolution on IT technologies.

Solution in brief
  • iFlexPower is a complete IEC solution for Data Centers' IT room, that brings resilient power supply down to critical loads.

Value proposition

  • Peace of mind: High availability solution. Dependability studies have shown that iFlexPower increase critical loads availability with factor x4 . Compliance with standards. Highly integrated, with complete answer to customer requirements (adaptability to all IT equipment, sub-metering, IT management, modularity).
  • Business continuity / disaster recovery: Critical info delivered to right person at the right time.
  • Flexibility: extension/evolution without shutdown. High degrees of maintainability and evolutivity (withdrawable technology for "Hot" Plug & Play, adaptability for raised-floor &/or aerial installation).
  • IT management: Check before connect that power resources are available .

Differentiation factors

  • 'Key component' of recommended and qualified architecture (CPSol / Solution level 2).
  • Measure & monitoring for capacity management & risk management .
  • Modular system: reduced installation time, improved accessibility, adaptable to all kind of servers.

Main Energy Efficiency characteristics

  • Energy availability: iFlexPower is a ‘key Component' of Critical Power architectures. Final distribution has been identified as one of the most critical part of Data Centers architectures (up to 80% of complete criticality)

  • Energy savings: iFlexPower is a modular and flexible system that integrates perfectly itself in high density IT rooms. Located in hot aisle raised-floor or above the cabinets, it doesn't disturb the cooling air flow and contributes to better E² ratio.

  • Environmental impact: iFlexPower has a better environmental impact than equivalent traditional solution: it reduces use of plastics by 70%, and cross section of conductors is reduced by 30%.
