UNICOM Engineering, a leading provider of application platforms,
deployment solutions and lifecycle support services for software
technology developers and OEMs worldwide, today announced that
Universal Electric (UE) selected UNICOM Engineering and the
D-series platforms for their StarLine DC Solutions 380V DC
Experience Center (SDSEC), a groundbreaking data center facility in
Baltimore, MD showcasing how DC-powered servers can deliver
computing power more efficiently by eliminating power conversion
steps within the IT infrastructure and implementing end-to-end DC
data processing.
As the demands on data centers increase, creating higher costs
and power usage, the industry is looking for ways to increase
efficiency and decrease operating costs. The concept of converting
the power distribution configuration from alternating current (AC)
to direct current (DC) within the data center is gaining increasing
acceptance. DC data center technology is more energy-efficient and
safer to use than traditional AC technology. By trimming power
conversion losses, DC technology can reduce energy costs by 10
percent or more. DC systems have also proven to cut infrastructure
and equipment costs by as much as 30 percent.
In outfitting the SDSEC, UNICOM Engineering and UE have created
a user-friendly environment where visitors can experience the
"green" attributes of DC power delivery firsthand. The data center
is designed as a teaching tool enabling participants to better
understand how groundbreaking technology from both companies,
including UNICOM Engineering's 380V DC platforms that enable
DC-powered data centers to require fewer components, dissipate less
heat and significantly improve efficiency, and UE's STARLINE DC
Solutions Chip2Grid™ solution that eliminates the need for remote
power panels, Power Distribution Units (PDU) and the conversion of
AC to DC power, can cut down on energy consumption while delivering
greater reliability.
The SDSEC also complies with industry standards for efficiency
outlined by the EMerge Alliance, an open industry association
leading the rapid adoption of DC power through a set of standards
creating hybrid AC/DC power models. The partnership between UNICOM
Engineering and Universal Electric represents one of several such
initiatives UNICOM Engineering is pursuing to address efficiency,
density and cooling requirements that focus on conservation. As an
EMerge Alliance member, UNICOM Engineering is focused on providing
380V DC powered-servers that meet industry standards for data
center and telecommunications applications.
"As data centers continue to grow and evolve, we're working hard
to develop solutions that allow for increased modularity and
overall efficiencies," said Tim Martinson, division director at
Universal Electric. "Partnering with UNICOM Engineering was a
logical choice as its innovative DC platform dovetails seamlessly
with UE's Chip2Grid™ technology. The SDSEC is a game changer in the
space and represents the future in data center design."
"The culmination of our collaboration with Universal Electric is
captured in the SDSEC, which will serve as an immense teaching tool
allowing participants to see the benefits of DC power in action,
and in one of the most demanding settings possible," said Jeff
Hudgins, vice president of marketing at UNICOM Engineering. "We are
excited to welcome visitors to the Experience Center in Baltimore
and to expand interest and awareness to the important mission of
organizations such as the EMerge Alliance, which are changing the
playing field for the better in data center design."
Jeff Hudgins of UNICOM Engineering and Tim Martinson of Starline
DC Solutions will also be presenting "The Shift to 380V DC in the
Data Center: Why It Makes Sense" at this week's Data Center World
2013 conference on May 1 from 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. in room Palm
