Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation
(NYSE:ETN) today announced it is providing power management support
for IBM’s Portable Modular Data Center (PMDC). A broad range of
Eaton’s power quality and power distribution components integrate
with IBM’s fully functional modular data center. The PMDC can be
shipped and rapidly deployed with a complete physical
infrastructure in any environment.
“Eaton has a long history of working with Information
Technology (IT) managers and chief information officers (CIOs) to
achieve cost savings and execute sustainable strategies with its
industry-leading advances in power distribution, power quality and
enterprise software solutions,” said Jerry R. Whitaker, president,
Electrical Sector – Americas. “Power usage represents a significant
cost when operating a facility. The ability to plan, build and
maintain a highly energy-efficient data center is essential to meet
business objectives.”
Eaton’s energy-efficient solutios provide high power
density with space-saving design as an integral part of IBM’s PMDC.
The Eaton 9395 uninterruptible power system (UPS), for example, is
an ideal power protection solution for IBM’s PMDC; it has the
smallest footprint and lowest weight of any UPS in its class and
the ability to achieve 99 percent efficiency with Eaton’s Energy
Saver System.
“IBM’s PMDC is part of our strategy to deliver a
cost-effective and flexible family of modular data center solutions
to businesses facing significant capital and operational costs,”
said Steve Sams, IBM vice president, Global Site and Facilities
Services. “Eaton has been working with IBM since the launch of
Project Big Green and continues to develop innovative products that
significantly reduce energy consumption while still achieving
critically high standards for power quality.”
IBM and Eaton already have experience working together on
IBM’s PMDC solutions such as the PMDC containers installed at an
IBM data center location in Europe which features an Eaton 550 kVA
UPS, N+1 configuration, with 20 minutes of battery runtime, and
associated switchgear. This installation also features a 1 megawatt
diesel generator as part of the electrical
infrastructure.
In 2007, IBM launched Project Big Green and committed $1
billion per year to deliver technologies that help clients
dramatically increase the level of energy efficiency in their data
centers. IBM introduced the PMDC as part of the second phase of
Project Big Green to drive modular data center design solutions to
allow clients to pay as they grow reducing capital and operating
costs.
IBM will showcase some of Eaton’s energy-efficient UPSs
and electrical solutions as part of IBM’s PMDC demonstration unit
during the Gartner 28th Data Center
Conference in Las Vegas, Dec. 1-4.
